Today was a weird day from the very beginning. The weather looked dreary when I got up and for some reason at breakfast I thought we had juice in the refrigerator, but was wrong. I had to drink water. I got to work around 8:15 again this morning which seems to be my normal start time now. To get there any sooner would be pushing it a bit. I tried calling my mom a few times during work today (we work at the same company) but there was no answer. Then I got a phone call from one of her co-workers, which I thought was odd. She told me that my mom wanted to her to call me because I had probably heard rumors by now and would have started to wonder. The rumors were that we were in the middle of a layoff (this is now a total of 5 since I started only 2 years ago). I immediately thought my mom was on the list of 24 employees being cut. Nope, she was just driving someone else home who doesn't drive. I was relieved.
After going through this 5 times now you'd think I would be used to it. The truth is, it never is easy to see people you've worked closely with for years be told they no longer have a job. Everytime we go through this I wonder why I was kept and not them. I suppose working for the largest client at the company and being one of least paid people in AM helps a bit. I want to think that I'm doing a good job and people appreciate me but I still know that I need to step it up and buckle down. I'll buckle down tomorrow. Today I'm drained.

On a good note, today is the 7 month anniversary of John and my wedding. I love you, John!
