i am thankful for my job
our hours are being cut back. not too much, just 15 minutes a day (for the day staff), but that adds up eventually. many other things are being cut back or cut out as well, which had us all up in arms today. (personally, i think it's ridiculous that these changes are starting on a saturday. i know the point is that it's the first of the month, but my boss should've told us about them on wednesday or thursday, instead of just leaving us a note to find this morning. she also should have informed the residents about some of these changes, instead of making us be the bad guys and tell them that no, sorry, they can't have eggs for breakfast because they're no longer in the budget.)
but. in today's world, with this economy and this job market, i am thankful to have a job at all. and so that is my thought on that.

i find myself more and more thankful for my job lately. on the plus side, i've been trying to complain less.
the ones i really feel sorry for are the kids who work at night. every weekend (and if someone ever asks for a night off), they will now be working short-staffed. during the day we have 4 people on. at night they have 3 and it's crazy. i don't know how they're going to do it with 2. and to know that they have to do it all the time. and they're no longer allowed to cheat and use paper products to cut back on dishes. i'm wondering how long any of them will be sticking around.
One of Chris's directors had to lay off 4 people this week. It was a hard week for him.
:(
I have a friend who works in marketing, and I think 13 people have left her company (or her department? I can't remember) in the past few months. It's crazy! I'm glad she wasn't one of them, but I feel bad for her for the heavier workload!
