And so it goes...
Jun. 26th, 2009 11:04 pmMy LJ experience is complete, I have been ranted about in someone's journal. I stand by the decision made and that is all I will say here. Done. It is done. No comment really but to say that and if the flames fan anywhere, so be it and I am not going there.
This week has been exhausting. We got the terrible news at work. Our budget has been basically decimated by 18%. That is startling close to 20%. Our Dean gave us the news in a very open meeting, putting it all in clear perspective. We are not the worst hit and we are not the lightest hit. We are some where in the middle. It shows that we are considered essential to the campus and the educational mission and will not be dissolved as a unit but this is serious.
No layoffs this year but there will be layoffs in 2010-2011.
My response to that is to figure out how I can prepare for the worst even against assurances that it "would never be you" from my co-workers. How can I know? How can I truly know.
You can see why the whole issue in the first part of my post is totally inconsequential. I am here on livejournal to have fun, distract myself and play nice. If you are not going to play nice with me, honestly, think again about interacting with me in that way. I have bigger things on my mind. I really do.
