After work I stopped by Diana's and then Linda's, came right home after that - and went right to bed! Tension headache that I did not want to turn into the Ugly word that starts with a "M". Why a tension headache? Well, first and most important is that we are still watching Oscar. So far so good. Now, the dog has a stomach of steel so I hope that blocked any wrong doings. The things that dog finds and eats, I do not know how he has a stomach at all!
Secondly, get to work yesterday morning and I have a "meeting invite". Only myself, my manager, the director, and Senior manager's names are on the attendance request. NOT GOOD is the first thought. Get into the meeting and my manger sits on one side of me, and the director sits on the other side - thinking yep definitely NOT GOOD! Well, yes in deedy it was not good! My job is being restructured differently, and it does not include me. It will not be able to be done the way they are thinking, but I guess that will no longer be my concern come May. But where does that leave me? Well, I have to "bid" on some new positions that they are opening up, and hope that I get one of those, look at the other listings within the company - which there are non at the grade level or above that I am at, or I am guessing back on the phones - which I do not want to do! Or last but not least, out the door? Only myself and one other person is effected by this "structure" change. The other leads are transitioning to a different type of duty, that I know half of them will want out of as well! Which then means they will have to bid on other things too. Now before you start to think or say - "Oh, Michele you have nothing to worry about it will be OK". Let me stop you right there. **removed**And the worst part of it all is that I may lose my weekends. If not just Sunday, but Saturday as well! The positions are all night and weekend positions. I am fine with the nights, but losing my Saturdays? NO! I will do Sundays, as I do them now, but my one thing in life that I enjoy to do - is on Saturdays! I think that is what I am most upset about more than anything! And I have to deal with the not knowing for the next 2 months! I have too much time and effort put in to walk away, but it may look like I have no choice in the matter? I will keep you posted as I know what is going on.
On the bright side, there is a crop Friday and Saturday!

Holy Crap sis!!! I know this looks bad but the way that company works, they may change things again tomorrow. They have never deserved you anyway and if they are stupid enough to let you go then Piss on them.
I know you are worried but I'm sure something will work out. You have to many friends and know to many people for someone to not get you a connection somewhere.
Cyber HUGS sis-Love you!
I know to an extent what you are going through. Josh felt the same way last May when he was told "you have 2 months left". He still has bad days but its getting better. The only recommendation I have (what Josh did not do because he refused to believe it was over) is to start getting your resume out there to other companies, JUST IN CASE! You have so much experience and talent.
Then, I have to turn to the spiritual side of this so bare with me. God definetly works in ways we do not understand. Things come at us and we feel its the end when if fact, its God ways of catching our attention so that we may focus more on what HE has planned for us. The thing is, there is something out there MEANT for you. You know that you have had so much stress from this job and its affected your health in many ways. This may be a blessing although it doesn't feel like it. Starting over is never something we want to do, but sometimes its something we need to do. I know that you may feel (as Josh did) why would GOD do this to you when he knows your needs? The truth is, He does know your needs. He knows your strengths and weaknesses and he does not give us more then we can handle. God isn't to blame for all the wrong but sometimes it takes the bad for us to realize we need Him more then we know. I know you aren't a deeply religious person and I know you shy away from anything like this so my intent isn't to offend you but maybe to uplift you somehow. I have found great comfort over the last 8 months in my faith. I just want to see you with the same comfort, no matter what, I love you.
Hugs for all the crew in GA.

well that totally sucks and we'll make up for it this weekend when we scrap! I hope it can work out for you Michele. You've done too much for this darn company to have them treat you like that.
Well that is one dumb move on the company's part! Hope this works out better than you are anticipating! Will keep you in my thoughts for good things to happen.
I am a true believer in things happening for a reason. And I believe one door closes and another one opens. I know you are much too good an employee and person to get the shitty end of this stick. You will come out ahead it just make take some time for you to see it. Chin up, chest out, ass ready to be kissed!!
