The Temp

Call me what you like...
The Temp
Dead Man Walking
The Outsider
Walking the Plank
Or just the girl getting kicked out!

Either way it all reads the same to me. So what esle do you call it when reverse-seniority kicks in and you're out? I call it losing my job. I also call it some bad names, but that would be rather tasteless of me to post. At this point I have already felt the separation process begin. Whether its just me or a shared feeling, I am now the odd-man out. I feel like I have a sign on my forehead declaring my dwindling presence in the building. But the funny thing is, I am the only one of us to be cut who already knows my fate. For everyone else, its just a cruel game that they don't even know they're playing. But business is just business, no cruelty intended.

The bottom line, I need a new place to work as of October 15th. I've (for the most part) enjoyed my run with my current employer, and I am not looking forward to starting all over (again) somewhere else. At least this time I'm being sent packing with something worth packing! And I have time to plan for it, but that doesn't make it any better or any easier to swallow.

P.S. I glad they didn't tell me before vacation, because that would have killed it for me!
