The Work Day From Hell

So I would love to tell you that my bear butt cleared Naxx by herself, has a billion gold and all the achievements, or helped her guild in some marvelous way; alas, that is not the case.

I'm a sad bear today. My company decided to cut 21 people today from it's payroll. One of those was mine and Kroff's good friend Noxxic. The first round of cuts they did, all three of us were nervous, but we made it through and went to lunch and just talked about how we were going to work on things in our lives to make sure money didn't get that tight. This time...Kroff and I ate by ourselves. I cried. A lot. And all both of us could do was wish that we were in a horrible nightmare. I feel so helpless. I can't do anything. I can't get his job back. I can't get him another job. And I can't make him and his wife, who was becoming a really good friend of mine, stay here instead of moving to the other side of the country. I told Kroff I feel like they're going to up and move and we're never going to see them again. All I wanted to do was leave and go spend time with her. And I'm on such an emotional roller coaster right now...omg I wish this day was over.

I am thankfully that we both still have jobs, and while the 10% pay cut sucks, we don't have any major responsibilities to worry about. We have no kids to support. Only our two mutts and they are cheap. We're going to have it rough for a while, but things will pick back up and God will take care of us along the way.

I really just miss my friends...already. And they're not even gone yet.

It's a sad day today.
