BIRTHDAY and The Neverending Bad Day

[Kristin]

Thanks again to all for the birthday wishes and Amy don't worry about 
it. Besides I really like lima beans. I still can't believe my whole 
Famn Damily blew off my birthday.

Anyway last week at work we were informed that due to cost cutting 
they will be offering Voluntary Separation and Redeployment. Some of 
the ways to qualify for this lovely program is if you have had a 
written warning about your performance, a slower than trend in two 
consecutive reviews, or two Improvement required in the last three 
years.

Well our Supervisor tells us this morning that he will be talking to 
everyone individually about their situation. So I get paged go up to 
his cube and I get a nice present. Seems I have two written warnings 
in the past three years, one of which I knew about the other came as 
a complete surpriseand shock. The first was was from 2 1/2 years ago 
when I missed calling in that I would be late by 2 minutes, supposed 
to call by 6:30. If the power hadn't gone out I wouldn't have been 
late in the first place. The second one is for a misprocess which I 
know nothing about. Now you are supposed to sign these warnings along 
with your Supe, which I never did on the second one. 

My Supe also told me that both warnings were on the same paper. I 
only remember signing the one about missing the call in time. Which 
really torqued me in the first place because it's the only time in 
four years that's happened. But I have never been charged with a 
misprocess. It's all a bit fishy. My old Supe and I clashed and she 
had a tendancy to be a real B@*&H. She was and still is very 
arbritrary with her policy. Seems she not only screwed me over to my 
face(longer story) but behind my back as well.

So now I'm on this list that nobody wants to be on because of the hag.
I told my current Supe that I'm not taking the VSP. He said that he 
doesn't know where I'll fall if it comes down to Redeployment, but 
based on my skill sets I *should* be okay, but there is no guarantee. 
So now I have to wait until the end of August to find out whether or 
not I'm going to still have a job. That's just the icing on the non-
birthday cake. I can not wait for this week to end. 

Thanks for letting me rant.
