@minskat30 -

I need wine to get through today @alpacina - I hate holiday weekends, especially when I don't have them actually off because everyone else who DOES have them off decides to either (a) slam me with questions before they leave for vacation or (b) say "oh minskat is in the office tomorrow, we can just make her do this on the day off she doesn't have". The worst are people who say "well you don't have kids yet so you don't need to take off around Easter/Christmas/whatever"...I mean WTF people, having kids doesn't give you a license to be an ass.

@minskat30 PREACH! My whole afternoon has been crazy because of what you mentioned. I was supposed to have a hearing tomorrow afternoon which would have taken a chunk of my day (and the staff lawyer's) and now that it's settled and the hearing is canceled the staff lawyer wants a ton of stuff done first thing tomorrow so she can go on spring break sooner. I'm like, dude, chill. I sometimes get the "you don't have kids sooo..." garbage too. Drives me nuts!

Welp, my boss spilled the beans early about the news that will be announced next week. Pay cuts are happening across the board, though not as much as I expected. 401K contributions will be affected too, but I figured that would happen.

I had to cancel my wine club and my personal trainer (first world problems, I know)... H and I are going to have to sit down and figure out a strict budget if we want to keep making large payments on my student loans.

I'm thankful I still have a job and that the bad news is not as bad as I expected, but UGH. I guess I'll have one more night of sadness with wine and turkey pot pie, and then I'll focus on channeling this stress into more positive and productive things like working out and crafting.

I wouldn't be opposed to getting a part-time job on the weekends and some weeknights, but H put the kibosh on that. *sigh*

We're going into our really busy season starting April 1, so I'll probably wait until that passes and then re-assess. August is normally when things die down again. I don't want to leave my boss in the lurch.

Sorry for the stream of consciousness. Thank God it's technically my Friday! What a week, I tell ya.

@eilis1228 - I'm glad the news was better than you were expecting, but I'm sorry it's still rough. You DESERVE wine and pot pie tonight. And chocolate.

@eilis1228 I'm so sorry! I'm glad it wasn't as bad as you thought, but it still is hard to give up things that you are used to having.

minskat30 · March 2016

@eilis1228 - Hugs. You deserve all the wine today. You are also keeping a great attitude about it that I admire.

@eilis1228 Big hugs! Hopefully this reduction won't last long!! You can get through this! You and your H have a plan and you can stick to it!

LizzyTish88 · March 2016

@eilis1228 Hugs! Sorry your getting cuts, but glad it's not as bad as you'd thought.

[Deleted User] · March 2016

@eilis1228 - No!!!!! I hate to hear that!

eilis1228 · March 2016

Thanks, everyone. You guys are the best.

It's Friday!
