What a week it's been...

This week I'm happy to say I was busy. The past couple of weeks have been slower than usual, and that is something I'm not used to. I am used to being busy, working 10 or more hours, working weekends, etc. So it was nice to know this week I would have much to do. Unfortunately, the week brought some bad news. The CSA's have been told that their positions are being relocated to the corporate office in Shelton CT. Nine of my co-workers are affected. Of course, they are all offered their position there, but there is belief that most of them will not be transferring. Hopefully there will be some openings in our office in which they could apply successfully for and stay in Arkansas with Unilever. Otherwise they are being offered a severance package should they stay until the "last official day". Just as a note of reference, I do give a damn about 2 of them, and hoping things work out for them both. One of them will hopefully receive an offer for a recent interview they did. As for the other, well time will tell. They have 5 months. I'm on vacation again next week. Can't wait. Heading up to Kansas City for a night. Main reason is to have dinner (OK dessert!) at The Cheesecake Factory. I ate there about 5 or 6 years ago, and loved it! Looking forward to another meal there. Also hoping to go to the Power and Light (or is it Light and Power?) District. Other than that, everything around here is par for the course. TTFN~!
