Today was my last day before my pretend lay-off. It was busy; I tried to organize as much as possible so I can catch up easily upon my return, and we had a potluck lunch. J chose not to participate in the lunch because it was her last day, but I suspect she never enjoyed participating in anything we did anyway. When her day was done, she left without a word, and took the keys with her instead of returning them to our boss. Some people wonder if she won't just show up again on Monday and act like nothing happened! L didn't show up, and his (soon to be ex-) wife said that Monday is in fact his last day. After speaking with the boss, I confirmed that today was to be my last day for sure.
I packed my things, including all my photos, and showed my coworkers. My good friend Nettie refused to believe that our boss would let me go--she was completely shocked and looked on the verge of tears. She later told my mom just how upset she was. Once we were outside the building and out of earshot, we told her that it is temporary. (I asked my boss again because I am so unsure right now, and he told me he would call me next week.)
It was difficult packing up my things, we all had a hard time with it, even though we know it's supposedly just for one or two weeks.
I am still very worried, but there isn't much I can do at this point but wait. I will be quite angry and upset if he doesn't hire me back because honesty would have allowed me to find another job more quickly.
There are rumours that L will be rehired, which floors me! If he goes back and I don't, my mother will consider quitting.
Everything is up in the air for the time being, and it is keeping me on edge. Wish me luck that it all works out!
