What If....

I no longer have a job? I've planned out my yearly savings; I've even planned out my yearly spending. And then, I hear from a colleague that she just got notice!

My heart is pounding so fast with all the possibilities and questions. Why haven't they called me yet, if they are giving out notices? No e-mail. No word from my rep. I'm so conflicted.

I only hope that my contribution to the office enumerates to more than the expense of my labor. God, PLEASE LET ME STILL HAVE A JOB! I mean, I come to work on time; I do extra work for others without delay; I am quick; and my experience makes me most qualified to train new hires or guide remaining ones.

This is soooo scary to me; but I knew something was up when all of a sudden "to-do" lists sprang up from outta nowhere....wash this, stop that; clean this, throw away that; schedule this, cancel that...all within a week. So many things make perfect sense now.

Like Jazmine Sullivan said: " i knew as soon as I saw clouds, i knew what [they] were gonna say."

The recession is real and I don't like this shit! What part of the game is this?

Ah well, that's part of being temporary...it does come to an end. But, what will I do with all that extra time? I'll pray that I don't have to find out anytime soon.
