Another sad day

Okay, when Robert and I set up this blog we were big on it being a positive place, not a lot of negative blah blah blah - but geez!! After yet another day of hearing about friends being laid off, I just have to wonder where this will all end??

I do believe there is life after Handleman - and a GOOD life - but being laid off is a bitch, to be blunt. Even when I had a date and KNEW when my job was ending it was still a really tough couple of weeks when it all finally happened. It's not the job - it's the people we lose having daily contact with that is hard.

I don't know what "the company" is doing, or where it will be in a month or a year; but it's almost like watching a train wreck (or Britney Spears) and just never knowing what's going to happen next. I know most folks will not want to 'vent' in a public blog, but the option is there if you want it - I'm certainly not going to moderate what you want to say. (Well, let's keep the swearing to a dull roar and watch the libel and slander-type stuff...) Otherwise, feel free.

And to those of you still there...man, watch your back...

Katie Bardocz checking in. It has been awhile since I have been on.

I also was at the meeting in Detroit last week. I crashed it to see everyone one last time. Good thing because I was layed off on Monday.

This is a good thing. I look forward to my new future. In the mean time I am hugging and kissing my two little ones.

I am up for that reunion maybe next year in the spring time. We could do a long weekend.

If you hear of any awesome jobs you think I would like in Michigan let me know. kmo73@hotmail.com

I would love to see more pictures and has anyone found Mike Kelley or Bill Richards yet?

LOL,
Katie O'Halloran Bardocz
