So the rumors flying last week…. yeah, not true. From what I understand happened is our COO had to lay off his cousin on Wednesday night. To make him feel a little better he told him “Hey, I may not be here in 2 weeks.” That got turned into “no one will be here in 2 weeks” when the guy laid off said good bye to everyone. Needless to say, most of us were freaking out. I didn’t do anything all morning. I mean, what’s the point, right? Why set up jobs that will be going out in 4 weeks when we will be closing in 2 weeks. Well, one of my co-workers went and talked to the COO about it and found out what really went down.

So we aren’t closing in 2 weeks, but who knows what’s going to happen. As of now, everything is okay until February because that is as far out as they can see (as far as what permits have been pulled for construcion and so forth). But that doesn’t give us any guarantees. Someone else was let go Thursday afternoon as well from accounting. Now, I don’t begrudge anyone their jobs, but the feeling across the board is that it was about time that someone in accounting was let go. No one from that department has been let go since my friend was let go back LAST DECEMBER!! All other departments have been cut. But anyway…. right now, I have a job. I am also working on updating my resume and putting it out there. Not that there are jobs to be had, but at least I’ll be ahead of the game.

Now, as for weight loss… BLAH. I am a stress eater and therefore have been eating. But I have been running as well. I did 1.5 miles last week. I was supposed to move up to 2 miles today, but my run on Saturday was crappy so I re-did it today. It was much better. I ran 1.5, then walked .25, then ran another .25. I felt better about it. I’ll move up on Wednesday.

I’m not really looking forward to Thanksgiving because I have NO WILLPOWER!! I am making a Turtle Pumpkin Pie and each slice has like 320 calories. I think I’ll just eat that and some stuffing. What is everyone else doing to prepare themselves for the gorge-fest ahead of us?
