Wouldn't you know it, the exact day I make an offer on a condo, I find out that I'm getting laid off! I've been having flashbacks to the day I got back from my honeymoon and got laid off then too. I pretty much have the worst timing in the world. If you know of any openings for an IT/Desktop person, I would greatly appreciate any information you could pass along. I'm here until the end of the year which basically boils down to three more days since I'm taking the Friday, Monday, and Tuesday after Christmas off, then coming back New Years Eve for my last day. 2008 will officially go down as one of the worst years in our family's history and my individual life as well. Just about everything that could have gone wrong has. The year can't end fast enough.
I was hoping to stick around at Franklin Templeton longer as I was just starting feel comfortable in the position and to get to know the people. I knew it would be a contracted position when I took it, but was hoping that the contract would last much longer than it did. Frankly, considering the fuss that my boss made when hiring me about me being "committed" and seeing "the advantages that a contract position can provide", I would have expected it to last quite a bit longer, but I now realize that that BS was just the beginning of a steady stream from her and from Franklin Templeton (my contracting company Milestone Technologies has been great). I feel really bad for the remaining customers in this building, who have to get a new IT person every 5 months and are the victims of the IT departments ridiculous processes, procedures, and management blunders. If it wasn't for those people, this job and all the nonsense associated with it would have been unbearable. I now fully understand why there was 5 people in 10 months in this job prior to my arrival.
