Woolfu's back!

All right peeps! Woolfu's back after a long time! And this time Woolfu has some more success with weight loss to report. 10 pounds in 8 weeks. Success? Hell yeah! At least I think so, and the waistbands of my clothes are getting looser. If nothing else, that makes me happy. In these troubled times, being happy is a nice feeling indeed (as it is in other times too). At a time when coporates are looking at bottom lines and cutting costs, and you know you are not as productive as you would like to be, how could one not stress about losing your job and not seeing that nice paycheck coming in every two weeks? I went that route too. And I realized that it is not you personally. Of course it is a little difficult not to take it personally, but you do realize that you were hired in the first place for a reason. And that reason is that you have the skills and experience that the organization needed/needs. And when you are being "let go" the organization still needs those skills, but not as much as before. And it is just not sound financial sense to keep you on. Most organizations take these decisions pretty seriously and don't like to make decisions where they have to lay off people. There is nothing personal in those decisions. The organizations after all are in the business of making money and not trying to keep you happy! What you need to do is take those skills that got you hired in the first place, add the few that you have gained working in the past xx amount of time and market yourself. If you have the skills, you will find a job. It just takes time. On that hopeful note, it is back to work!
