Left the house ar 830a to be at work at 9 to talk to my boss. Talked to him for about ten minutes. Got home at 10a. Was driving all that time otherwise...
...I live four miles from work. Some dumbass managed to bork a semi across a four lane road in such a way that it was completely blocked, and with a park on one side and a dead end housing development on the other, it took forever to get where I could turn around.
Anyway, got the notification. Bad news; August 31 is the end, period. The one director is still trying to get them to keep us but it's not likely, and we'd be in a different department anyway. Good for him, though.
Good news; they're offering us a bonus again, to stay the entire time and not do anything stupid, that amounts to about a month's pay. So, I'll have a little bit of a pad, and since I'm being laid off and not fired, I should have no trouble with unemployment.
In other news, my 72 year old father fell down and busted his ass a day ago. Smashed his face and one hand up some, but is otherwise ok. Brother's girlfriend says that he was kind of loopy and kept calling her Michelle instead of her actual (only vaguely similar) name, but when I called him tonight, he was more like his old self, so he seems a little better off.
Random animal-related stuff; one of my cats is laying on the floor next to me, paws curled up and tail tucked across his hindpaws, and snoring a fuzzy little buzz. It's adorable. I know if I pulled out the camera he'd wake and flee, of course. (tries) Yup.

Hope all turns out for the best. Thanks for sharing the news, good and bad (and cat-related).

Thanks. I feel better than I have the last couple of weeks... Knowing you're going to get fucked but not when is not as bad as knowing you're going to get fucked and when... can make plans, have an umbrella ready when the midden hits the windmill...
