It's quiet around the cubicle asylum this morning. The rumor mill has run amok with claims that during the CEO's visit last week, he informed our GM that he needed to "get rid of whoever you need to. I want this plant back on five days."
*Gulp*
It is assumed that the decision will be made per department as it has been in the past. We think Thelma, Lulu and myself are safe. We have seniority in each of our departments. If that's how the game is going to be played, then Bubbles and Louise will be the ones to be let go. But you can never be too sure about these things, we've been wrong before.
Ya'll keep your fingers crossed for me. I'll keep you posted.
Moving on...
The other day, as I was totally NOT exhibiting stalker-like behavior, I noticed that Eddie Izzard was going to be in Los Angeles this week. I had high hopes that this meant he'd be Craig Ferguson's guest on The Late Late Show and low and behold... I was right! Himself will be on with the Fergburger this Wednesday night, so ya'll make a pot of coffee and tune in or set your Tivo. You won't want to miss it.
Speaking of Craig Ferguson.. Snake Week? Seriously? Dude, I tremble in fear of stepping on those slithery little critters every time I step off my front porch. I REALLY don't need to see you stroking your big rubber buddy first thing in the morning. I once hurled an econo-sized package of feminine hygiene products down the pet food aisle at the grocery store, nearly grazing a little old lady in a scooter chair, all because some smart-assed little punk thought it would be fun to leave a rubber snake in the floor.
So yeah.. if you love me you'll chill with the rubber snakes.
I'm just sayin'.
Anywho.. I have a feelin' it's going to be a scary week here at the Asylum as we all wait for the axe to fall. I'm sure I'll survive.. whether I'll still have a job when it's over is yet to be seen.
Ya'll have a good one. We'll talk again real soon.
Later Taters!
Update - The latest is that there will be no changes in the office. All layoffs will be out on the plant floor. I'm safe. Hallee-freakin-LOO-YA.

Here's hoping it's Bubbles that goes ;)
Keeping my fingers crossed and saying a prayer for the security of your job!
Wow! That can be scary stuff -worry about layoffs and such -especially in today's economy too.
Hey - if you read my blog via Google Reader, just wanted to let you know I've been having issues of mega proportions with it since last Friday. It seems to be updating my favorite blogs but sure as hell isn't doing the same to mine as it says the last post I did was July 31st -which ain't true since I've done about 7, maybe 8 posts since Thursday night. If you know anything about how to work with Google Reader so I can get this fixed and functional again, sure would appreciate it as well.
Yay for no layoffs! WOOOT!
Nao, the Freg and Izzard in ONE PLACE? I think this may well be a sign of impending Armageddon, because it's got to be all downhill from there.
It's too bad Bubbles won't be getting kicked to the curb, though.
Scarey stuff, I hope people remember this economy when they vote in November, is anyone better off then they were 8 years ago? I miss Bill, I don't care who he fooled around with (well really I do, he should have better taste!) At least he didn't screw the hard working people trying to make a living and get ahead in the world. Oh my, where did all of that come from?

Thanks ya'll. I'm glad that little scare is over. It would have been nice if they'd laid Bubbles off but honestly.. what would I write about if they did?
*grin*
aw man...i was really countin' on you getting rid of Bubbles.
Oh I adore Eddie Izzard! And I hate snakes too - we must be kindred spirits - LOL!
Great post! Thanks so much for stopping by!
I think Eddie is your lucky charm! I know he's mine.
Don't say the word "lay offs". It's an awful word. Hallee loo ya is right!
