IN THIS CASE THESE WERE ALL GOOD PEOPLE. WELL EXECPT ONE IN MY OPINION. THE CFO HAD A STAFF MEETING WITH US AFTERWARDS AND HE MADE IT CLEAR.  THAT THEY WERE GOOD WORKERS SEVERAL TIMES BUT FOR THE REST OF US TO SURVIVE, THIS HAD TO BE DONE. (I GUESS I'M LUCKY I DON'T MAKE A GREAT SALARY. GOOD ENOUGH THOUGH. ) YOU COULD ALSO HEAR IN HIS VOICE HOW DIFFICULT IT WAS ON HIM. I GUESS BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE DID NOTHING WRONG.

I NEVER BELIEVED MY JOB WAS IN JEOPARDY, BUT IN THE BACK OF YOUR MIND THERE IS ALWAYS THAT LITTLE DOUBT. 

OH WELL I GUESS I WON'T BE COMPLAINING ABOUT WORKING LATE NIGHTS AND HAVING 3 AUDITORS POUNDING ME FOR INFORMATION. 

AND AFTERWARD I'LL BE LOOKING MORE FORWARD TO GOING TO THE GYM AND PUMPING UP THE PRIEST. 

NEW WORKER AT THE GYM PLAYS IT FOR ME ALL THE TIME. MANY OF THE OTHER GYM MEMBERS LIKE "VISIONS" AND "NOSTRADAMUS" A LOT.  I CERTIANLY GET A GOOD PUMP DURING THE KEYBOARD/ GUITAR SOLOS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOSTRADAMUS.

OH WELL - LUNCH IS ALMOST OVER - BACK TO WORK.

		I do understand, scorp. It is an awful feeling. Although I have never been in a position where I felt that I would lose my job,  I have had to "let go" many, many people. Most of them were useless but there were the occasional good ones and it hurts. We always feel sorry for the other guy but when it happens to us, we are stunned. These are difficult times. I hope the best for you, my friend.      scorpion01 wrote: I AM ALSO IN A STRANGE MOOD TODAY. SEE MY POST IN THE NEWBEE SECTION IN THE WHAT SUCKS THREAD. LATELY  THERE ARE SO MANY CHANGES N MY LIFE. I'M DEALING WITH THEM PRETTY WELL, BUT IT IS A LITTLE STRESSFUL. THANK GO I HAVE THE GYM. ALTHOUGH MY GYM DID CLOSE DOWN AND I AM AT A NEW ONE AND I MISS MANY OF THE FRIENDSHIPS I DEVELOPED AT THE OLD ONE.      Deep Freeze wrote: The very same to you, my friend.
