4th of July Bombshell

The Psychologist’s Big Employer could not have planned it more perfectly. It certainly must have seemed like a good idea to deliver bad news with a theme. Just like a cool fireworks show, Big Employer dropped an explosive bombshell on their staff just as the 3-day 4th of July weekend was beginning. At 4:00 pm. On Thursday. Fun!

The Psychologist’s job is being eliminated. Actually, the entire program is being cut due to The Budget. Good news! He gets his old job back. Yea! And he gets to have his old shitty schedule back, too. Only, now it’s worse. 6:30 pm – 5:00 am Saturday through Tuesday.

So what was supposed to be a fun, festive weekend was actually a major suck-fest filled with moping, anxiety and too much beer drinking. Couldn’t wait til Monday huh, Big Employer?

On the bright side (really!) at least it was not the “L-Word”. He does still have a job. Many people don’t right now.
