Retirement Is Too Far Away

Be Careful What You Wish For ...

This morning at the dentist I watched some office space. I truly can say Peter Gibbons is my hero. He hated his pointless job and so he stopped going and something else worked out. I know it’s just a movie, but can’t that happen for me as well?

Be careful what you wish for is in my brain today. Last week I found out that an admin upstairs was told that her position was eliminated. We were all told she was retiring – alas she did not retire. Therefore, her department (which is higher up in the hierarchy than mine) has one admin for 4 execs while my department has 3 admins for 3 execs. Um… yeah. Who’d be the first to go? The newest? The one who works on specialty things like contests? I would say so, especially since they are most likely doing away with contests due to the financial crisis my company is in. Good times. Soooo while I hate this job with a passion it looks like the universe might just be handing me what I have been wishing for – to be free of this place! Yikes!

I mentioned this to R as well and he was like yay here’s to hoping! Cuz I had been very lighthearted and saying I was hoping to be laid off with a severance. Well… when he was lighthearted I was like no – I am serious – it really might happen! Who knows what the next step would be for me… well, that’s what it sounded like at first coming from him but once he knew I was upset he changed it to “We’ll get through it don’t worry about it”. That 'we' can really make a difference I tell ya…

Anyways, the weekend was ab fab per usual. I adore them. The weekend coming up is the one where we are not making any plans at all… I think we’ll be watching lots of movies and kicking back. Sounds 100% divine to me!!!

It’s a Monday…

sometimes we are forced into something we want to do, but are afraid to try. I wish you all the best Kristy!

You never know...these are strange days indeed...

Here's to hoping that if you do get sacked there's a good severance package followed by immediate unemployment benefits. You got a good man there. Enjoy your quiet weekend ahead with him.
Hugs

A severance package might grant you just the time and space you need to figure out your next steps towards happiness. Good luck.
