A week later, and I’m finally feeling a little better. Last week was a rough one with a combination of work deadlines and cramming as much information into my head as possible for the exam. RV witnessed my breakdown during the middle of the week. We survived it, so I guess he’s a keeper. ;)

Once the exam was over, a weight was lifted off the shoulders, despite not knowing the results until two months later! The heavy feeling is gone for the time being, even though I still have the work-related deadlines to work through. It’s just easier when you don’t have something in the background.

There’s talk of a big impending layoff. I’ve been anticipating one for the last month or so. Busy season is over, so if there are extra people about, now’s the time for the firm to send out the emails… Luckily, I didn’t hear from HR regarding that in the last few weeks. It doesn’t mean that it won’t happen though, so it’s best to be safe than sorry. I’ve begun chats with recruiters just to see what’s out there. Not really much, but also not completely hopeless. While I might not have the skills to match what employers are currently looking for, it doesn’t mean something won’t come up.

Plus, I’m still at my job for now.

Apparently another round of layoffs JUST took place. I’m so out of the loop and am only hearing about it now. Wow. Of course, it is not as large as the last one, but it always baffled me how they go to work one day and then they’re out the next.

The economy is horrible right now, and it will only get worse… at least for the first quarter of the new year. Fingers are crossed that it doesn’t last TOO long. Otherwise, it will make one of my 101 things to do in the next few years rather difficult. People will not pay you more if there is someone else out there equally qualified who will do it for less.
