Eek my job!

Things are weird at work. Surviving layoffs let me feel a little cushion of safety, but that has completely eroded.
See, it’s been a rough 18 months. I let the divorce and all the other crazy shit affect my work – never good! I wish I was one of those ‘my work is my refuge’ people, but alas. So this year’s upcoming review is going to be a tough one.
But that isn’t my biggest worry. Effective July 1, most of what I do is shifting to another group. And I’m going to be pooled with several other people to work on special projects. Assurances have been made that jobs are secure, but come on…how can I not feel like I’m auditioning for my job?
It’s a tough economy, I know that. And I’ve been a weak link lately. Sigh. Nobody has a right to a job; just because I’m here doesn’t mean they’re obligated to keep me. But shit, this is cold. Scary.
At least I don’t have kids depending on me – now that would be scary! I feel like my fate here may be sealed, but I’m pretty sure Tiny Dog and I will find a way. Meanwhile, I’ve got a resume to update! Anybody looking for someone whose main skill is naps? Now, that would be a cool job!
