The Vent Thread

Found out today that my company is merging with one of our competitors. Knew it was bound to happen eventually, but now it's all up in the air and I have to worry about still having a job in the coming months. Time to dust off the resume again... sigh.

Or you could have hope that your employers would want to keep you... * positive thinking*

having hope but being prepared I think is the right course.

Yeah, I know my employers appreciate my work. I've been promoted twice over the past 2 years because of it, but the real issue now is who my employers will end up being. Technically the merger puts more stock with my company, but the CEO of the other company will end up taking over for the merged company. There's now telling how the pieces will fall into place. I would guess that when the merge is complete, all the people in the current positions will have to re-apply for their jobs, to determine who stays and who leaves. I think it's a good thing for the company itself, just a very shaky situation for the employees.

I was listening to a song by yellowcard. and it matches some pretty repressed memories/feelings (I wasn't raped or anything) but like once i was listening to it, it made all those emotions come back to the point where i felt like i was going to puke.

Wet summer is wet. And cold.

is envious of wet and cold summer.

[8bit_samurai]

Eh, not sure what to be envious about 46°F (feels like 36°F) with south winds up to 36 MPH. Been like that at least once a week (mostly on weekends :/) since July (with about a 5 -10°F difference give or take), and it sucks since we're on the coast and the ocean is directly south from us.

I live in the high desert and have hot flashes.

[8bit_samurai]

Oh. I'd probably be envious too, then.
