Apocalypse at work – not.
“The apocalypse won’t be all that bad,” Bible scholar Parker Creaston told the Weekly World News. There’ll be a “brief period of mild to moderate disorder,” after which will come an extended period of “worldwide peace and harmony.” Similarly, Libra, your fear of impending chaos in your personal sphere will turn out to be overblown. Yes, you may suffer temporary shortages and inconveniences, as well as what we might call a metaphorical “traffic jam.” But you can forget about mountains of fire, seas of blood, and hordes of locusts from the bottomless pit. They will definitely not be showing up.
This week’s horoscope from Rob Brezny definitely can be related to my situation at work. Last week, a large number of individuals were laid off. I was not one of them. [Depending on how one looks at it, it could be either good or bad for me.] Probably part of the normal business cycle, and we’re currently along the trough. I have my other hunches on exactly why certain individuals were let go, and really – it’s just too bad. What I fear is that since there are fewer people doing the work and the same amount of work, the rest of us who remain will be overworked. I think that at first, this will happen as people rush to fill their staffing needs at jobs where suddenly the entire team is missing… Ouch! I can live with temporary shortages and inconveniences. Fire, blood, and locusts? No thanks.
It is funny how the partners are surprised that the news spread so quickly. They made their decisions last Thursday, and we already knew then. They were expecting us not to know until maybe early this week. We’re all working together. We have our contacts. We’re neither stupid nor slow. They’re having a “town hall” this afternoon. I wonder what they’ll talk about because I won’t be able to attend.
