To put this in context, on Friday April 4th, I posted this comment in BiPM's Cheers and Jeers:
Cheers to vacations and having nine whole days away from the cubicle!
Jeers to vacations spent at home working on all the myriad tasks that have accumulated since my last vacation spent at home catching up on all the myriad tasks that had accumulated since................ You get the picture.
Cheers to BiPM, just because it makes me happy to type cheers to BiPM.

Tuesday April 8:
My manager left me a voice mail to call her back at the office asap.
So silly me called her back.......
The news was devastating, our entire office is being closed in the next few months.....
I work for the nation's largest S & L in one of their few remaining mortgage fulfillment centers. So far we had been able to avoid being included in the many firings, downsizing or in corporatespeak repurposing and offshoring, (gotta love those folks that get paid for that BS don't cha?) that had already taken place in consequence of this entire mortgage FUBAR.
Although this diary may appear to be "All About AntKat", it's really just a righteous rant that has been building in me for one hell of a long time!
Only thing is, I'm just too damned sick and tired to rant .........I guess I'll just whine a little instead.
Starting over yet again at the age of 58, most likely won't be able to find a new job paying anything close to my current salary, no health insurance, and those pesky mortgage payments that come due are weighing very heavy on my mind right now.
Well, thanks for reading, I guess I feel better.
PS: Any Kossacks in SW PA that need one hell of good office employee with progressive ideology?
Update:
Thanks for the {{hugs}}, well wishes and good ideas, not the least of which is this suggestion:
Kos needs a job networking site
A liberal job networking site.

I think it's a great idea, what do you think?
