Before After

Weekly Status 3/7/09

This was a tough week.  Emotions got the best of me.  At work they permanently laid off the senior admin in my department.  She was there for 12 years.  I was shocked.  Last month they let one of the sales guys go, but that's suppose to be temporary.  They're saying that our overhead is too high and cuts need to be made.  So now my department doesn't have an admin, so everyone's work load just got bigger.  Oh and they cut out paying overtime too.  I put in 47 hours last week and will get paid for 40. But I keep telling myself, at least I've got a job.  It's hard to workout when I come home totally drained.  Food choices were OK, but i did buy a 3 Musketeers bar from the vending machine. The only reason I bought it was to console me.  As if a little bit of chocolate was going to make me feel better.  I've got to stop making excuses and start taking care of myself.

Oh dear.  Sending hugs and prayers out your way over the work siuations.
 
Try to keep your hours to 40.  It's not going to make anything better to work for free, eh?  Just drain you down further and make you sick, etc.
 
Hang in there.

Oh man

Whoa.. what a rough time. Morale must be at a low, and the work is getting higher. The chocolate bars aren't going to kill you, or your diet, but can you think of something to help through the rough patches? When I go back to work, I am going to stock a drawer with cinnamon gum! That stuff kills my tastebuds! Anyway, best of luck sifting through your new "roles" at work and definitely, try to keep it into the 40 hr work week or at least see if they will do flextime!
