Work-based Rumor Mills are FUN!

Ok, so over the past 2 days Deb and I have been getting along very well. Lisa told Deb today that by the end of the month, everyone except Lisa and Mary will be let go (that means letting go 4 of 6 workers, including myself). Apparently, Lisa just found this out on her last day of meetings up in Chicago, and has so far only told Deb. Deb has in turn only told me. Why has Lisa told Deb, if in fact she has? Because Deb *just* signed the lease on a new house, and being let go 3 months earlier than she had planned is disastrous? Because Deb is her friend? Because Deb shares her office and would have found out sooner or later? If this is all true, then why hasn't Lisa told the rest of us? She bought us all lunch today, it cost her $75, we were all secretly wondering why she was being so nice... and yet she never broke the news.

My options are pretty good, no matter what happens, because this week alone I've gotten 3 calls for interviews for other jobs, the remnants of my CareerBuilder blitz. One of them is a PC Tech job, but it's only $10/hr, and it's on the other side of the city with a really really bad commute along the way. I'm tempted to go for it anyway, just to get it on my resume, but I want to hear what the people at TEK think they can find for me first. I feel as tho, if I really do lose this job this month, then they owe me a lot... perhaps enough to get a tech job like I asked for in the first place.

Oh well, we will see... More updates when I get 'em.
