Lay offs

So....they are laying off a bunch of people from my company.  I guess it's that time of the year for lay offs.  The business is suffering a bit and I guess it was just time to make some cuts.  My boss had to choose between the two new people in my office (me and my friend Sheree).  Well let me just say they didn't choose me.  I felt so heart broken yesterday that they let her go.  She has three kids and is a single mom.  They said there were many reasons why they chose her.  I felt like the people in my office weren't very sincere when she packed her things yesterday.  I guess it's a hard situation to handle and you don't always know the right thing to say.  Me and my boss talked today...she looked uncomfortable but explained to me that I am not in any danger of losing my job.  I guess thats a positive thing.  But at the same time I don't have a plan B and I really should.  Other than that I am feeling pretty happy.  I feel like the world is mine today.  I guess a little empowerment never hurt anyone.  Keeping my entries positive is a lot harder than it looks.  I am still eating well and working out.  I plan on a full hour of workout tonight.  And I would like to thank my friend Lena for religiously reading my blogs daily and commenting.  I wish you lived closer girl...we would be good friends.  xoxo ta ta for now
