The Governor Sent Down a 6 Month Reprieve

OK! wow... I had my meeting with the regional and it wasnt much better than the conversation I had with the manager. A lot of 'i dont knows, etc" so I finally resigned myself that I was out of a job for sure. I set up interviews for next week with another company and have arrangements to make a call on another job.

I wasnt planning on coming to work today but I forgot some papers that I needed to get some work done for my 2nd job so I had to come in. I didnt do my hair, Im not wearing any make up cause I wasnt gonna be here long! pfffft. Thats what I thought.

I sit down at my desk and fire up my computer... check my email and find those papers I needed. Did that in the first 10 minutes and the girl next to me hears me clear my throat and says Hey! Frank is looking for you. Wants to see you right away.

I wander down the hall and he is in a meeting. I figure I'll come back after that and see whats up. I walk by his office and in the middle of what Im told is an important meeting, he hollars my name. Rushes out to tell me that "Ive gotten you a 6 month extension on your job."

I can honestly say I was shocked. I dont know what to feel cause I'd finally resigned myself to leaving, sent out my fond farewell email to all my friends and co-workers etc just yesterday and was feeling pretty emotional about the whole thing again... keep in mind though, Ive been that way pretty much since they told me Dec 8. Lots of sadness and admitedly some anger which I understand is normal considering the circumstances.

Now I get to feel like an idiot because they decide to keep me the day AFTER I sent that email. Soooooooo I think I'll wait for the details before I send a follow up saying SURPRISE! Im still here to all those people who I just told... sorry I wont be here to help you anymore.

Im not sure my boss even knows yet. (correct this... boss just walked by and her AA told her)

In any case, Im heading home soon since they are now saying that we are going to get this ice worse than they thought and sooner than they thought. I need to get some milk cause we are totally out at home and maybe get the propane bottle filled in case we have no power, I can cook on the grill!
