Day 2

Hopefully, today I'll write both Day 2 and 3, so I'll get up to date with my crises. But, this one is about yesterday as well.

I've ended my post yesterday before answering to the email I got. I did so and I've got a pretty fast answer to my requests. One down, one up. Some policies were quoted for rejecting one of my requests, but the same policies made me eligible for the other request. So, with a 50% rate of success, "it's a very good". I got something and it seems that for what it's worth, the company CAN stand where its words are. A plus. Some other stuff was quoted as the truth, but it made me laugh. Subjective stuff can't be true forever. People change and things change. Some things and people change slowly, some other decay very fast. Assuming that a subjective thing will be forever positive just because it was at a certain point in the past is an often mistake that most people do. I'll detail this in another post, when the moment will come.

The funny thing is that some things I said have proven to be true. There was a list and yesterday two more people were kicked out, in less than 5 minutes. I'm in a decent company with a manager and a smaller manager joining the 'gone in 5 minutes' club. Keep your personal stuff close guys, you never know.

Needless to say, the morale trend went down, down, down. The so called 'syndicate' (or group of good guys) had another 'meeting' yesterday, same hour, same place. It's unbelievable how much fun can things like this bring to people :). We had a good laugh at the last events and it either proves we are good or that people are very stressed :). I assume the first. People was asking me if I've found a job already and if I've heard about anything that would suit them. Don't worry guys, you'll be the first two know. I'll help you overboard on the first occasion.

Ok, what else. Right. One of my best friends (who I decided not to tell what's going on) called me on day 2 (yesterday). 'So, how are you?'. Damn, someone must have leaked something, so I had to tell him. Of course, I got another job offer from him (thanks!) but I think he knew he doesn't stand too many chances. I hate that city, period. Sorry.

Wife of another friend gave birth to a healthy boy. Of course, I forgot the weight and other stuff that I've been told about, but the mom and kid are both ok, that's the most important thing. Welcome little joy, life sucks, I hope you'll learn this in the most distant future possible.

I think that the question about why ain't I pointing at specific things (like giving names for the people I'm referring to) exists. Well, yes, that's the answer, I'm waiting for things to be settled first (read, get my money) and then we'll see. I know, I'm a low life form but you can never know. Anyway, whoever would read this and know me will know who I am talking about. It's just that I don't want things to slap people in the face without me knowing about this.

Seems that day 2 was pretty boring, at least on things that I can write about. More has happened but this blog will never know ;) I think.
