Yesterday's Phone Call

New Boss: Hey PITA (his new nickname for me...) Final number is in. 71. We are not among them. You are safe. I repeat. You are safe. Call me.

Now, before I say another word, I gave MYSELF the nickname PITA, and honestly, I'm thrilled he's using it. It shows the man has a sense of humor and that we are establishing the basis for our working relationship.

Plus, let's face it. I am. But in a good way....honest.

Anyway - announcements have been issued to the press. We closed one plant and let 26 (not 28 as previously stated) office folks go. Total cut is 71.

I hate that for them. MANY of my new friends were among those gone.

And hate me if you will, but the truth is....it ain't me.

This time.

I WILL do the happy dance - for myself.

And say a prayer for them.

Then? After that? I put my head down and get 'er done.

That's the way of the world any more.......
