It's always something.

Well, so far, it's not so bad, but isn't there just always something? Today, Nick got a call from his coworker, who is also named Nick! Let's call him Nick2, just so we don't get confused. So Nick2 calls to tell Nick that they're restructuring and making cutbacks at work. There's a word I never like to hear!! Allegedly, according to Nick2 who talked to the site supervisor Steve, they're reducing the guys on 2nd and 3rd shift to just one guy per shift full time. Nick2 said that Steve said they'd be keeping Nick on and giving him his choice of either 2nd or 3rd shift, and then filling the other spot with Nick2.

Now, this sounds good so far, right? Yes! However, about 20 minutes after telling me this, my Nick says something like, "Hmmm. I'm wondering if they'll even offer me the job because they know I'm looking at other jobs!" Oh boy. Now you've done it! You've gotten the Emily Anxiety Factor started! Because, for as much as I maybe don't appreciate his current job since it's far away, it's still a full time job!! And he needs that!

I guess Nick is thinking that his work will call him today to talk to him about this, but so far (at 11:30 a.m.) they have not. Let's all think positive thoughts that my Nick ends up still employed full time after all this, okay? You do that, and I'll try to not freak out. Deal?
