Christmas lunch in January

January 30th, 2009 Posted in all about me, ramblings

Since our department didn’t have the annual Christmas shindig due to all the layoffs that occurred at the end of the year, the bigwigs decided to have a “christmas luncheon” for the surviving colleagues today (January 30th). I guess, the managers realized that they needed to spend the allotted Christmas party money that was budgeted for last year or else *lose* the amount in this year’s budget. Since all my closest buddies got let go, I didn’t have all that much fun at the luncheon (which was held at a nearby hotel). I guess, I need to make an effort and form new bonds with some of these other colleagues but that takes extra *time* and *effort*. and I just don’t have the energy to do that kind of shit. Just call me an old grump.

argh. I better snap out of it and get to schmoozing. I suppose I do NEED to elevate my profile around here or else risk getting the ax the next time the bigwigs decide to cut more of us.

    I’ve gotten to where I just don’t care to make buddies at work unless they are right there. I’ve made friends and then they get relocated, fired or quit and then I’m alone again.
