April 2007 - I found myself in Sag Harbor New York - the land of sea breezes and huge summer homes. In order to stay in touch with friends and family, I started a blog about my adventures there. My fiancee (now husband) and I moved to Arkansas in the fall of 2007. Since then the blog has detailed my life...as a yankee in the south, a runner, an actor, a writer and an administrative assistant. It's been a wild ride and continues to be a grand adventure...:)

It was one of those weeks that you wish would vaporize, as soon as they were over.
Four good people I know lost their jobs where I work this week. I hate it but what I hate more is that instead of feeling total sympathy for them, I am scared about my own job security. I have no reason to be worried, I know. I'm doing great and if I make a mistake, I never make it twice. I answer the phones. I let angry listeners rant and rant to me, so by the time they talk to the managers they are less angry. I do all that.
All of that came to mind, as I heard that the 4 people were being let go. Towards the end of the week, the office got this frozen ambiance that you could slice with a knife, it was so thick. It was like people were looking over their shoulder twice, suspicious of everyone. It's stressful for employees and managers a like.
But somehow, amidst all of that, I was able to walk out the door on Friday and the fog lifted and I was FREE for two whole days! I don't know if it's because I'm older or wiser....but even though I do worry, I know that things will be ok.
May all of you have a stress free weekend. Full of love, life and good things.
