Mixed signals

So we had more layoffs today. It was very depressing. My department is fine, but our division had 5 people let go, 4 of whom sat near me.

So I suppose that when our Chief Administrative Officer jokes with me about having Security escort me out in the evenings (because I frequently work late -- though I have yet to meet the cleaning staff at least), this is not a bad thing.

And our Managing Director had a fun, fun day telling each department that reported to him the cheery news in closed door meetings, so I admire him for that.

We got several bounceback messages from people throughout the company this afternoon, so clearly today was a busy day for HR.

Ugh.

Have I mentioned that Open Enrollment for next year's health care benefits starts tomorrow? Repeat after me: continued employment = continued health insurance coverage, so buried somewhere under my moroseness, there is thankfulness. Honest.

Right now though, I am going to crawl into bed and pull the covers over my head.
