an observance or two...

people are retarded.

today has been a horrible day. the culmination of a stressed out weekend.

it's really wonderful when people don't know how to do things that they should have learned how to do in high school at the least. things that i learned in elementary school. things that aren't really all that hard to understand. things that i shouldn't get a response of "it's the same thing" when it really isn't.

reemergance of the gloomkitty

so, this past week hasn't been all that great. for anyone really what with the economy, congress still not agreeing on a stimulus package, and everything else happening in the world. in my small corner of it, things are looking pretty grim after this past week. my work has finally been hit directly by the economic downturn, so they let some people go. thankfully i'm not one of those people, but it's all the more disturbing when i had a dream two nights before where i was at work (some people and things the same, some different...you know how dreams are) and a person who was apparently a manager walked up and told two people to get out. they then proceeded to talk to my remaining department and told us about what had happened and that we hadn't heard any of it from them as it was on the downlow. *sigh* yeah...real wonderful dream followed by real life events. thankfully the company is self-sustaining at this point and, sadly since we're in the turn-around and growing stage, we can't grow thanks to things going that are impairing the company that currently owns us from providing the funding we need. bad enough that we work with banks in various ways...now we don't know what the future will hold. the comfort in this is that i'm fairly certain that i'm okay at this point *knock on wood* as i've got a large portfolio of skills from my years at the company and my department is somewhat specialized. really, there's only four of us and no one else really knows how to do what we do. anyone coming into the work we do would have a huuuuuge amount to learn and would take months to get up to speed (this is based off of what has happened each time we've had a new hire).

*sigh* okay...enough bellyaching about work.
