Layoff #7

In case you hadn't heard, I received another layoff notice at the beginning of August. Although, I knew my boss was looking for new assignments for us, I thought that any notice would be 60 days. Wrong. We had two weeks. I guess I just assumed I wouldn't find anything so quickly. Usually when you start a job search, it takes two months just to start getting the interviews. Luckily I was wrong. One of my old co-workers put me in touch with her old boss. My checkout with HR was on a Thursday. My new boss contacted me Thursday morning. He asked me to come in Friday morning for an interview. Since Friday was technically my last day, that worked out. By Friday afternoon, they had canceled my layoff. Thank goodness! Now I'm even closer to home and working right around the corner from my parents. It's actually the same area I started working 20 years ago and it's changed so much! However, they could only promise me work for one month. Apparently the whole department is in the same boat and we just have to wait for the final decision. Keep your fingers crossed!
