That's what it feels like already. The whole town is without power. It went out at 1am and isn't due back on until 7pm. I am assuming school is closed but they haven't announced yet. So I'm going to have to find something to do with this kid. I have to go to work for a few hours at least. Hoping my parents have power and can watch him.
He ended up in our bed at 3am because of the outage and chatted for over an hour. I am exhausted. He's still sleeping.
What's your day have in store for you?

Morning ladies. Today is ds real birthday, can’t believe I have a four year old! we’re going to bake and decorate a cake (aka throwing candy on a brownie) and just hang around the house. It’s our first full day in our reno home without visitors, contractors etc. Might take a stroll into town for a cup of coffee or something like that. Hope you all have a good day!

I’m up with Z who is perpetually sick. I might need to take her to the Dr after work today because she is just so stuffed up. I know that’s an awful feeling when your nose is 100% blocked. Not sure if the Dr can do much but at least they can look in her ears.

I'm just watching my boss like a hawk. Every time he stands up I think he's coming to talk to me.. Nope. I wish he would get this over with. It's going to drive me nuts.

wedding, that stinks. There are a lot of towns around here that are without power, and some schools are on a two hour delay. I hope your power is restored earlier than they say it will be

Or should I just go catch up on the weekend thread? Just bad winds. It started just in our area of town and throughout the night the rest of the town was out. My parents just lost power also. We live by the water so the winds are extra strong and trees are falling everywhere. We just had a few branches in our yard. Here's our deck

Dh is going to come home early so I can go to work around 2 for a few hours. I threw out three large garbage bags of rotting food from our fridge. Just got groceries on Saturday 😞
Currently at IHOP that is shockingly open so everyone is here.

wedding that's crazy! Glad you guys are safe though! Will insurance cover any of the food that went bad? I remember when we had huge ice storms several years ago and people went weeks without food, homeowners insurance will sometimes reimburse you for the expense.

Got my letter. I went to the bathroom and cried after. WTF. I wanted this but I feel like I was fired even though I know thats not what happened. I'm allowed to leave for the day but I don't really know what I would do so idk if I will.

I’m sorry peachsmama, it’s hard to hear if you were expecting it or not. Go out for a coffee, take a moment and see where your heads at after.

Oh, @peach, i'm so sorry. Take yourself out for a walk or a snack and then decide if you want to leave for the day. This sucks.

Sorry peachsmama, it's hard when you've worked for something just to get a letter. I know how it feels. How much longer are they going to keep you on? Did/do you get a severance? If your mind isn't on work, it's probably best if you leave and take time to digest everything. You won't do anyone any good sitting there not being able to work. Hugs.

I'm employed until February 28th. I do get severance. It doesn't say how much but if I calculated right, 9 weeks. Alex told me to go see a movie or get a pedicure. I've got some things I need to wrap up for the day but I think I'll leave after lunch. My mom wants me to start working for them like tomorrow. But I'm not passing on 9 weeks of pay. Dammit. My boss is crying. Yup, I'm going to need to leave.

peachsmama, did he say anything or just give you the letter? I know it was expected and what you "wanted", but it still sucks. Was it at least the amount you were expecting?

He didn't have any appointments today and went to the lobby and came back with the head of human resources. He walked in my office and said "I hate to do this but can you come in my office" and told me that unfortunately my position wasn't retained but I could apply as other positions come available. I told them I had something lined up and wouldn't be applying. They told me to take the day if I needed it. The severance is a formula. So 2 weeks for every year worked, minimum of 4 weeks, max of 26. I've been here 4.5 years come February. So I'm guessing 9 weeks.

Drinking coffee with Baileys before heading to the airport, then I’ll hit up the airport bar.
