Got laid off today

[Timstrk]

Knew it was coming but that doesn't make it any easier. Funding is gone and the entire company is scrambling to find places to hide people until a new budget can be signed. Such is life at a DOE facility. HOWEVER...... after going through the security outbriefing and signing my life away to not talk about anything I don't really know anyway I gave up my badges and dosimeter. Made an appointment for whole body count and was walking to the parking lot. In the crosswalk with oncoming traffic my phone rings. Can't see who it is so I answer it. My boss, saying come back. Not today. Area manager, her bosses, bosses boss, if you get that, just got out of a meeting and told her not to let me go. My badge expires on the 31st anyway but they are working on an extension. Now I know what a condemned man feels like with a stay of execution. We'll see if the extenion comes through or I'm really gone on the 31st. Uwharrie is more up in the air than ever before.
