Just Rambling....

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I like staying in one place. My home, my job, pretty much my fashion sense & hair (both straight outta the 80's haha). I was told today that a VP that has been here a little over a year is leaving for another position. Probably more money, closer to home, this place, who knows what is driving him away.

I've been here almost 24 years, holding various positions in the company. I'm not making huge sums of money, but I'm comfortable and that's the way I like it. I've seen lots of people come & go, sometimes w/i a few months of arriving. I guess it's mostly the younger people. Educated people. The people that know there is an outside world. I'm terrified of the outside world. My volunteer work doesn't count - it doesn't have to help support my family or contribute to my retirement so it doesn't scare me at all. But there is a real chance I'll be getting laid off from here, like the dozens of people that have already been laid off, and that terrifies me. The only other "real" job I've had was at Roy Rogers when I was a kid. "You want fries with that?"
