Bum, bum...BUMMMM!!! The Hammer Drops at TV Guide...

Well, The TV Guide is getting rid of all of there national digest size (small books) and making one full size color book for hth whole country. I thought that would happen. I created the templates that the ads would go in. Well today they announced that they were going to start with that in October. The Hammer, the hammer is that most of my department is not needed, me included.

Oct 3 is my date. I get two weeks severance for each year so that should be 10 weeks (5 paychecks basicly). I assume that I have to stay to the end to get that money. So the game will be to have a job start after the 3rd...To get a phat paycheck and have a decent job.
I wondered how I would feel if I ever got layed off.... Well, its odd. It's sort of a no feeling. Its nobodys fault really. It's not like they did it based on performance. It was more just job based and my main job delt with the color ads going into the digest book, no book no job, done.I If i am said about anything its that my revitalized skateboarding will also probably be gone in Oct. I guess I'll hold off on getting another board...really that's the worst part about it.
