Oh, geez

... just checked Ken's link... who knows what we're
really going to be saying, eh, Diane

?
How do you say, "I'm not working at the moment" in German

? I may need that phrase

. Another round of layoffs in our company, including downsizing to the extent that two offices are closing and going to much smaller locations, with decreased level of services. One program in our office lost its funding, which means two [wonderful!!] people will be gone next week, and another program is threatened in the same direction, which would mean a third, equally-caring person gone. In
my particular unit, I
AM the newest kid on the block...
sooooo............ given these major happenings, I would not be surprized. Concern is being felt everywhere in the office. So, how does that phrase go?? As an alternative ~ "I've taken an early retirement."
Glad my plane fares are paid and some of my hotels. May be time for some serious dieting and tiny, "It's the thought that counts" souvenirs for myself and others, with no marathon postcard writing. Postage adds up

.
Ey yi yi.
04/19/06 ~ Oh my... just found out another person from this office is 'gone' ~ the person who told me said, "She's gone... and she has another job, but I'm not sure which happened first."
