Stressed!

Tomorrow the boom falls, and I am stressed. Our relative rankings at work came out late yesterday and I don't think I am going to be one of the six (out of thirteen). From what I do know, if I make it and certain others don't, then it is not a fair judgment, but the bank wants me to keep paying my mortgage and I need to be employed to do that. There may be a change in the circumstances and a few more make the cut, but at best it will be only a few. If anyone in management reads this, which I doubt as I don't think they will be reading it tonight or before tomorrow's meeting, so I can say anything I like. Please note that it is inspecific enough that if you, as a future employer, read this, you can be assured of discretion, even after a couple of glasses of wine, even if you can't be assured of correct grammer.

One good thing I have, is the belief that I am employable in Auckland's current economic environment and should be able to get another job by the end of the month. Nevertheless the last few days have not been easy.

They say you can have a nice house, a nice job, and a nice partner, but only two out of three. I have a nice house so maybe I'll get a nice boyfriend.

They also say that when one door closes another door opens. This saying is one I have more confidence in right now.

Updates to come. Please add supportive comments. (And while I'm on the subject of comments, I never get enough. Is it because I am too terse?)

Update: I made the cut. Details of reduced hours to be confirmed next week.
