Friday the 7th

...was a big news day for me. Yes, I found out that due to changing business needs, my workplace is losing it's sole client on Hallowe'en and as of that point I, along with about two hundred and ninety others, would be out of work.

The site director told us this in small groups of twenty or so, then sent us all home for the rest of the day, stressing that come Saturday the 8th, it was fully business as usual and to not let it affect out production.

Yes, I want to continue stressing myself over metrics for the next three months for a soul-less, dreaming-devouring corporation that is about to ruin my life... Ahahah.

Of course, management is looking for another client. We're the little site that could, the fully badass site, and everyone is hopeful we'll have someone by October. I'm not convinced. Maybe I'm just supremely negative?

Looks like another job is something I need to procure stat. Anyone hear of anything good?

October is pretty far away, hope that your company gets work again and really just fire out resumes. Haven't heard of anything good, what with the whole not living in North Bay thing (stupid me) but I hope you find something soon honey! <3

I hear pornography pays well.

Seriously though, that's eight shades of suck. The market...she is not good right now. Hopefully something'll open up for you though.
