Dear So and So

[Xrayted]

The hiring freeze stuck? Sorry X, that truly sucks.

Ya.

They are now pushing them to drop a few jobs too. I feel kinda lucky that I didn't end up starting there and be the 1st one gone, right off the bat. But still... we were spending a lot of time looking to move, checking all kinds of stuff out, preparing for all of this and now... pfffft. I can wait for another shot somewhere but the out of the blue freeze and timing of it all just stinks. Were they just not paying attention or what?

Back to the carnage and massive OT and no sleep and high stress and less $$ and paying to park at my own job and >>>>

the cool little kids I get to help feel better who end up with all of my stickers and the lonely elderly patients who just want to talk a bit and the moms and dads who just want to get well and go home to their families and the mangled few who are grateful for someone who knows how to do an xray without moving them and the wonderful coworkers I have and the interesting research studies I get to help with and the rare thank you from the nurses and >>>

Withm- OMG that situation sounds way worse than mine- I'm so sorry- how awful!
When my other neighbors' son took up drumming, we had to suffer through his rock drumming drifting over the neighborhood (whenever he'd forget to close the windows like they agreed to)- but we knew in 3 yrs he'd be GONE, off to college. And sure enough, he's now gone.
Sometimes you just have to pin your hopes on the fact that things do usually change over time...

X- that's too bad about your job. But good thing you didn't give notice at your current job!

Dear New Neighbor,

It's fine that you're going to have your floors sanded, but it's a bit worrying to me that you said it won't be loud. I would have felt better if you told me that it's going to be loud and awful, followed by smelly chemicals that will make me want to vomit, and probably give me cancer, and I'd be wise to leave while the work was in progress, sorry for the inconvenience. At least then I'd know you were honest and or smart. Now I think you're a dimwit. Please prove me wrong. If the floor sanding is not loud, I will apologize to the world right here.
