Oh man, is your job secure?

I found out today that when I was gone last week they fired off one of my old teams from my old department for under performance.

Just had a meeting with my boss. Actually the promoted guy wasn't let go, but another person was, so still a loss of 4, 3 that were in my department and not because they were screwing up. I'm safe for now, but this still sucks and my brain is going to be pudding for the rest of the day. :(

:( : Had to get up extra early today for work, so I'm really tired tonight.

:D : Despite that, though, I had a good birthday, and the cake is delicious. Yum.

:mrgreen: : The woman who gives me much of my work is going to be out of town all next week and told me that since she's not going to be there, that I don't need to go into the office and can work from home. It's a holiday miracle :cry:

Frown: I won't be able to see Soundgarden because I'll be in Vegas seeing The Who. Oh life, why must you make me choose between awesome bands?

Dammit man, that is rough. Although Soundgarden probably has a lot more touring years left than The Who.
