Rumor mills a buzz the last few days...apparently it's supposed to be next week. I Was supposed to take a few days off.

I can't shake the feeling that I have a target on my back. My boss tells me I haven't got anything to worry about, I say 'how do you know.' and he shakes his head and says 'I don't.'

Reassuring.

My coworkers are certain they are going to get cut. It's miserable.

Job prospects right now are slim too - it's frustrating. I have had more conversations regarding the other position, which I think could go really well but I'm not sure what's going to happen. If I get cut prior to that happening and the manager for that position hasn't shielded me to clear my way into his group then I'm cooked. Once they lay you off - they don't bring you back for other positions - you're not allowed back a while is my understanding. Not that I'd want to go back but with prospects the way they are...

I think I'm going to try to strike up a conversation with him on Monday...
