Working at the same place we met? Then yeah, watch your words indeed.
Job situation is not so hot. I'm at Vancity now and they're on both a Workforce Reduction and hiring freeze. While my business unit is not on the chopping block (they're eliminating a lot of upper management duplication).
The TLs say they will be hiring in the unit eventually.. we're CSRs and have reasonable attrition, and customer facing roles are what they cannot actually cut.
Wed/Thu is the weekend for both me and the girlfriend as well (yay our schedule aligns), but Thursday night is D&D night.
Thursday is gaming night for the Geek... I mean, the Husband. But a Thursday afternoon or a Wednesday would be cool. I do ANTM with Ange on Wednesdays, but I think (hope) she'd be okay with me working around it or missing one.
I probably agree with what you've heard from people who used to be where we are. We're hanging in, I'm stubborn.
I broke a tooth about three minutes after Tony left on Wednesday, so I spent most of the evening hurting and feeling sorry for myself.
I haven't really been watching this cycle, and it disappoints me that I'm not really missing it. All the good stuff seems to have been used up... They need a new angle!

Yes, still at the same place we met. There've been quite a few changes, though.

I've run into a few other people where I am, who used to be where you are... what they have to say about it is rather.. negative.
We should hook up one of these "weekends"

I keep reminding myself how lucky we are to have jobs at all. It's tough out there, so we're keeping our heads down and riding it out.
