April fools...

Okay, so tonight was about the most chaotic night I have had in years. It seemed that everything at work that could possibly go wrong, did. I actually had to shut the whole line down three times, something we NEVER do. I kept waiting for someone to jump out and shout "April Fools" at us. I hope we never have another night like this again. And to top it all off, we may all be getting the axe tomorrow. It seems as though our biggest account has decided not to renew their contract with my company. So, we are all for the chopping block. Our entire shift, our whole crew. All fifteen of us. (Yes, I know that we are a tiny group, but we are a close knit group, and we do not want to be parted.) Apparently some of us will be offered positions on the day crew. Others of us will be offered positions in nearby facilities. And some of us will be let go. I have this sinking feeling that my relatively "newcomer" status will put me in the latter group. I was trying to decide what I will do if this happens. The simple fact is, I need a job. An old flame of mine and I were talking not long before I started this job. I had told him that I was job hunting, and he offered to get me a job working for him. He runs the bar at one of our local casinos. So I just may end up being your friendly neighborhood bar-bitch. I have never actually tended bar before, but way back when, when I used to "date" this guy (Okay, maybe date isn't the word. I was his mistress for a little more than a year.) I used to jump behind the bar and help out whenever I was needed. He always wanted to hire me back then too, but I do not think that working with the person you are sleeping with is a good idea. Since we have not slept together in YEARS, I do not think this will be such an issue now. Though I must admit that I am curious as to what his wife would think. She and I are actually on friendly terms (Yes, she knows all about us. Stupid fucker fessed up in a marriage counselling session.) but I am not sure how she would feel about us being together all of the time again. She really has nothing to worry about. I am not interested at ALL, but when he confessed about me, he remarked that of all the women he had cheated on her with, I am the only one he ever considered leaving her for. (Why the hell any man would confess THAT MUCH information is just beyond my comprehension.) I guess I could call her and make sure that she would be okay with it, before I accept the job, but I really need the job. If she said she was not okay with it, I might still take the job anyway, and that would make her angry. Hmmmm. I need to think this through a bit. Besides, all this stress may be for naught. We have not been told yet for certain what the future holds for us at work. I will worry about it later I guess. On a more cheerful note, The Honey called me tonight when I was on my lunch break. Silly man used the company phone since he is having so much trouble with the other one. I warned him that he is going to get read the riot act, but he says he doesn't care. He said he just needed to hear the sound of my voice for a few minutes. Isn't he sweet. (No, he is not just sucking up because I have been upset with him. He ALWAYS talks to me that way.) I miss him when we do not get to talk. He has spoiled me with an average of three to five calls a day for months, and so now when we are both so busy just living our lives, I feel like something is always missing. Will I ever get over feeling that way? Anyway, That's all. Goodnight.
