    D-Day For Us

    Today our Company is laying off between 60 - 70 employee's in their I/S Dept., which includes my husband. We are so stressed with waiting to see if he is one of them. Please keep your fingers crossed he makes it through this. If not, I don't know how we'll continue to care for the park cats.

    That's terrible. Our IT Dept, of which I'm a part of, is short-staffed. Would you consider moving?? I would have thought that with IS skills the jobs would be endless but I guess I'm wrong. Prayers going out to you both.

    Thank you ALL! This is just SO stressful. Move?? That might have to be an option considering he's the main bread winner here. My pay basically covers all the cat expenses and the extras. I will keep you all posted. It's 8:45 a.m. here and everyone in the dept. that is affected is suppose to know by noon.

    Good luck to you and your husband. I know exactly the stress that you are experiencing as I have been through it a few times. The waiting is unbearable! I'll be thinking of you both.
