Impending Doom.

Being taught to avoid talking about Politics and Religion has led to a lack of understanding of Politics and Religion. What we should have been taught was how to have a civil conversation about a difficult topic.
Today I learned of some Bad news for me. It seems that between me and the Guard that fills in my days off at work, the Client is dissatisfied with our performances. As such the client is either seeking a new security company or dropping coverage altogether. As this loss of the account can be mostly tied to me, I will be dismissed from my security company. The meeting that this will be announced to me will take place on Monday at 2pm. I started with Initial in 03, and have weathered the great buy out where we became Allied-Barton. and now I will be unemployed. I do not know when the last day on the contract will be, or my last day serving it, all I do know is that most likely, I will not be with the company any longer. So. What's to do? Well, this effectively cancels Christmas for me, turning it into a job-search time. I started today, going to the state unemployment office to get started ahead of my termination. (this office had moved from Beaverton to Tualitin, causing me to drive a long way out of my way to sign up with the iMatch system, can only hope it does well... Will start to pound the pavement while I still can...
Pray for me...

Things are picking up slowly in general, so here's hoping you won't be unemployed for long.
Make no mistake, I will apply for benefits after my last working day, and I will get them if the cause for term is layoff. any other reason will start a lengthy investigation.
At this point I certainly wish I had a Union. as a Democrat, I support them, and now wish I was a part of one.
