Well, after working at the Evening News for 7 years, they decided to lay me off tonight — after my shift was over of course. No sense in not squeezing a few more hours out of me before booting me out the door. It’s funny — I always thought that the people who’ve been working at their jobs the longest would be more likely to stay at that job when there’s layoffs. I mean, wouldn’t the person who has worked there for years and year have a better chance of hanging on then a person who was, oh let’s say, hired a little more than a month ago would?? Oh, that’s right. Silly me. I forgot for a moment that I make much more an hour than a recent hire.

Anyway, sorry for the post of bitterness. But when you’ve got two kids and mortgage it’s nice to know you can at least keep a roof over their heads and food on the table.
