Another Lay-Off Coming?

It's Monday and I'm not looking forward to going to work. The company I work at announced last week they are going to have 200 permanent lay-offs and 1200 temporary lay-offs. This is supposed to happen sometime in April, May or June - depending on which source you talk to. I'm pretty sure I will be one of the 1200 temporary laid off. I don't think I'm feeling too much stress about it yet. There are just too many variables involved in how and when they let employees go, so I am trying not to get myself worked up and in a funk over something I have no control over.

Mostly what I feel now is aggravation and irritation at my co-workers for constantly speculating about the future and for the many many rumors that are spreading like wildfire. I just want it to stop!

To change the subject completely; Mitts is at the Vet's today. She is getting fixed and her front claws removed. I feel horrible about the claws, but cannot let my furniture and house get ruined with her scratching. I am having trouble concentrating because I keep thinking about her. Can't believe how quickly I got attached to the little trouble maker! We're bringing her home tomorrow. I'll be glad when she is home and healed.
