How does it feel to be unwanted, a burden? Well, now all us transcribers for Liberty Hospital know. Friday they met with each of us one-on-one to say "so long farewell, you can work for the outsource company we have hired or not, but either way Friday the 26th is your last day with Liberty Hospital". No severance, no nothing, even for the folks who have been there 20 years. (I have been there 7).
I feel so grateful that I started job seeking in the summer and found a job that I am certainly enjoying right now, and didn't HAVE to work for the hospital, but I really was proud to work for them, so I stayed on and helped out when possible. It was a nice little part-time job.
I have a meeting Monday afternoon with the outsouce company to see what they have to offer. If we don't take that offer, we have to turn all our equipment back in right away and give up our free road runner. Certainly that is some incentive to take what they offer.
Friday night I went to our dinner group and drank about 3 glasses of Merlot, so I was a bit numb. I did manage to win two rounds of pool though.
Saturday morning I ran some errands and just felt NUMB. I was in a daze. I haven't cried about it or anything. I just feel dumbstruck. Of course I feel HORRIBLE for the full time gals. They are very affected and it really hurts them deeply that they have just been dumped like this after all the years they have given.
Other than that, the last two weeks have been uneventful..... Oh wait, we had a super duper ICE storm last weekend, and a six to seven inch snow last night. But who cares about the weather right? It is allowing me to stay home and scrapbook today in my nice warm house. Although if I still had my snow boots I would have to go out and play for a little while, but they got "lost" last year. (GRRR).
I was all geared up for church bingo last night, but it got cancelled due to the weather. The kids were supposed to be at the Jr. Cotillion Winter Ball today but I am NOT driving to Excelsior Springs, and John's sick, so there you go. It may be cancelled for all I know. Haven't heard. Jordan did attend GS Owl Prowl last night. Luckily that was only a 2 block drive for me! I can handle two blocks. I am sure the roads and such will be cleared off for work tomorrow, so am not worried about that.
Well, that's all the news from here that I can think of. It's not Lake Woebegone, but sometimes I guess we all feel that way....
