I guess we will find out if the Mayans and/or Roland Emmerich are right and the world will cease, but I am betting that maybe a culture that counted on human sacrifice to appease their gods was not terribly prescient, but I guess we will find out in December.
There is little to add to my work drama of late. They are still planning on laying off 400 people (or otherwise eliminating those positions by inducements to early retirement and hiring freezes) and there is still no clear answer as to how many of our team might be affected. You can worry about it, but it isn't going to change anything. So, in the interim, we are moving from 'no flexing no matter what' because we wanted to preserve the notion that every hour is necessary to 'get the eff out of here as soon as you can.' So, I ended up flexing out about 40% of this past week. Left early on Monday, cancelled on Tuesday, worked all day Wednesday and left a hair early the last 2 days. Thankfully Tia is not dealing with the same, so it isn't like we will be in the bread line anytime soon. Not sure how long the flexing will continue though.
Other than that, had a nice holiday weekend (bummer that there was no 'holiday' extended time off, but nothing can be done about it) and am looking forward to a, hopefully, fresh start with new adventures in the coming year. Until then, cross em that my neck doesn't hit the chopping block.
Happy New Year!
