Heartbreak Beat
Jun. 21st, 2013 05:02 pmThe furloughs were expected, but another five layoffs weren't. My department got hit, one guy from Team 2. I wouldn't call him a friend, but he's a good dude. This is going to mean more of a load on the remaining two members of that team, as his territory is in the southeastern end of the state - many miles to cover - and word was given from On High that the territory can't be abandoned.
Pain in the ass week, too. Each team had one rep on vacation, so we were all spread a little thinner. Rep SC is off next week, so, yeah, so much more to cover. And we moved our workspace to the opposite end of the building, losing our cherished isolation.
I took today off as a mental health day. Woke up way too early. Saw an early showing of Star Trek Into Darkness, and, ain't gonna lie. I wasn't impressed. There are a lot of good ideas in there, but the whole thing just doesn't hold together. If there's another one in this series, its probably going to be a rental of some kind for me.
Since I was close, after the movie, dropped into Half-Price Books. Tron Legacy and Layer Cake on DVD, and the novel version of the latter as well. I've watched Tron Uprising over the past week, and am in that headspace.
This weekend looks like another one with family of both kinds. Mom's coming up tomorrow for a follow-up exam, and Sunday I'm off to Louisville for the afternoon. Good stuff to help recover from the past week and shore me up for the one to come.
