As quietly as I have kept this information, my jobby job has been in jeopardy for months. The company I work for opted to enact some major lay-offs. It has been very stressful for myself and everyone involved. I have officially made it through with no changes to my job status. I will retain all benefits with no decrees in hours nor pay. While I am upset to see my long time work friends walk out the door for the final time, I am grateful that I still have my job. It has been a trying time and the weeks to come, adjusting to the new structure will be difficult.
On a side note, I have been trying to stay in the kitchen a little more recently. I made another batch of shepherds pie to take with me to work. It is becoming a simple and filling work time meal.
Ashley and I made some pizza recently as well. It was kind of like a vegan meat lovers. We used soy sausage, soy bacon, soy pepperonis and onions. It was a funny afternoon.
It is also watermelon season! Juicy watermelon is one of my favorite foods. Sitting down with a nice bowl of melon is a great feeling on a hot Atlanta summer day.
I'm so glad for your sake that you kept your job! But I can't imagine the feeling of watching everyone else go.
ReplyDeleteFoodwise, that shepherd's pie looks delish & perfect for lunches.
Glad to hear you made it through the layoffs -- it is a VERY tough time, and layoffs are hard to deal with, on either end.
ReplyDeleteI am happy you kept your job. These are hard times, and they seem to go on and on and on.
