It's Wednesday, January 12th 2011. The northeast is getting a pretty decent snowstorm. Schools closed- even Nick got the day off. My plan- to work from home. The snow is majorly piling up outside, and it's pretty. Nice day to work from home and stay cozy.
Mid-day I got a sametime message (a corporate version of aim) from my boss's boss. My initial thought was "this can't be good". Someone who I've never spoken with once since he started only a couple of months ago wants me to join a call with him?? oh boy. First words out of his mouth "Beacuse we're trying to meet a budget, your position is being eliminated" (translation- beacuse it only costs us 20% of what we pay you to hire someone in India, we're outsourcing your job)
Shocker. Blow. Can't believe what i'm hearing.
Then comes "but since you do have a maternity claim coming up soon, we are going to honor that still." (Can I say Phew? what a relief?!?)
Considering the circumstances, I'm doing ok. I've been asked so many times what I was going to do about work once the baby arrives, and until now, it's always been up in the air- I was going to play it by ear. I guess God had a solid answer for me! His plan is better than anything else and I couldn't be more secure following His way. I'm actually starting to look forward to some extra time spent with my little girl Elise!!
