The Axe Hesitates
Mar. 21st, 2002 02:12 pmToday my boss told me that my layoff date has changed. Instead of losing my job on April 10th, it'll be May 11th. A whole nother month.
I'm not sure if I'm pleased. Of course the additional money is a Good Thing; by my calculations, if I'm frugal and don't live large, I can afford to be unemployed through the rest of 2002. I hope it won't come to that, but it's good to have that flexibility.
On the other hand, I'd already been through the bargaining, denial, etc. and was at peace with the knowledge I'd be unemployed (or in a new job) by April 11th. Now I have to rethink all my assumptions.
But it's not like I've been told they're not laying me off at all, so that's still hanging over my head.
I guess I just really want this to be over and done with, for good or ill.
