This Past Week...
Let's do another good/bad list this week...
The good: I had a decent weekend. Everything got done without me getting overloaded, which is a nice change of pace. Even managed to get my brakes done. And even though my goals haven't been great lately, they continue to hold steady.
The other good thing was the completion of the major parts of my backyard project. A few weeks ago I had my back porch epoxy-coated, and this week I had it screened in. I now have a comfortable outdoor space for eating and relaxing - something I've never had before.
The bad: A communication was sent out from the CEO on Friday afternoon (I didn't see the email until Monday). Because of the UAW strikes, the company is temporarily reducing salaries - which they "strongly intend to reimburse" once things are settled. And the real kick in the gut is that there's nothing *technically* wrong with it. I've said it a dozen times - I fully expect to be let go at some point in the not-too-distant future. But after this, I'm not going to wait for that day to come before looking for something new.
The rest: After two long months, I'm finally back in the office tomorrow. And what better way to start it off than to have a half day! Having lunch with my good friend, and after that I'm heading out of town to see a concert. And coming up this weekend I'm planning to get some fall cleanup started outside.
That's it for me this week. I'll talk to you all again soon. =]

Man, that sucks about your job. I'm sorry things are continuing to decline. I hope your search for a new position goes well, whenever you begin it.
I hope you have a great time at the concert!
