The Tribune has a week long series on keeping your job during the depression, I told my clerk to take a look at it!
I have not seen a decrease in business as I have in late payments by our clients! Yikes!

I don't miss the times at my old job when you knew the lay off was coming....very tense leading up and then even suckier after watching everyone leave as you sat there.
i could be wrong, but I think I am fortunate that there will be no cuts here at all unless they are because the person just really sucked.

Everyone should be safe here. No raises this year, but that was not a surprise.
I cannot really get my head back into work, even though I did not take much time off. I guess I will blame in on the 1/2 Ambien I took last night.
D2 - sorry about the layoffs, but at least you will have a little less sound pollution at the office.

It's only the first day Shira. Be patient. And wear comfortable shoes. Manolos weren't made for pavement pounding.

Sleep pattern is all out of whack.
I hear ya! I got used to waking up naturally (10/11) and I am sleep walking today.
Four in our Seattle office were laid-off Friday. It was expected. The next month is gonna be tense, though I've been asked to teach a class in May, so hopefully that means something.
Man, I've been working at not being so cranky. Maybe I should rethink that strategy.

I hope they weren't the Holiday Manolos we gave her.
YWIW is probably safe on the Ambien front - it would be a rare work day when heavy machinery is involved.

And the commute, well, that is almost automatic.
The only heavy machinery I use is the water dispenser.

None in my extended family have been laid off, but there are about 25 of us employed, odds are someone will be the pink slip!
Y, other than a lawn mower, I do not touch any type of power tools or machinery!

That's scary! 
I'm slowly pulling my hair out this afternoon. It's not pretty.

Posted: 1/5/09 at 5:03pmI hope not literally! My friend has some skin condition that is causing her hair to fall out, it is brutal and looks awful!

He he he ... I just had visions of that commercial with the CPAs with bald spots because they're pulling their hair.

Whoa. That's just scary. Who the hell would want ME as a mentor/teacher, etc..!
Okay, tomorrow we begin again. And the Manolos? Well, I want to look good when I interview! (If I GET any interviews!)

My heart just skipped a beat as my dept. was called into a conference room ... not laid off, but taking a 10% paycut + every other Friday off. They're trying to do everything they can to save jobs.
Did I say I get every other Friday off?
Alas, there go my short-term travel plans.

Posted: 1/5/09 at 7:33pmSorry, DD. But at least you're keeping your job, right?

A 10% pay cut is a helluva lot better than a 100% pay cut.

Back to the falling hair story ...
Grossest work experience.
When I first started as a young attorney, I was the second chair or a major class action for my company. I was scurrying around the country gathering documents. At one office, I realized that the person whose documents I was gathering suffered from a bad skin condition, and his files literally had shedding skin all throughout them.
I ended up buying a huge bottle of disinfectant wipes, and doing the file "shake-a-shake-a" to make sure all of the residue was removed before copies were made.
There were literally piles of residue. I should have received hazard pay.
Gross.

That's disgusting, YWIW.
Thanks, Harris. I've been in flats all day, but when I start having interviews, I'll be needing the footrub. And alcohol.
