I wish I could cheer for the half year, but it's been a mixed one for me!

The fiscal year ended where I work yesterday. There was a notice on the office door. All it says is changes are coming in August. It's my understanding that the state is going to change the classification of the license where I work. The new license will mean less training and less money. It may also mean a loss of some benefits. No more information is available until August-Sept.

So, that means I may be in trouble. I am at the top of the ladder in seniority. I retain the "old" insurance. You remember, the one that isn't HMO, PPO, managed care, etc? The GOOD insurance?

Three people have been fired in the last week. They were all "old hands" meaning top of the ladder.

I have a target on my back and a huge foot hovering over it. I already put in for my vacation time this summer and cannot take it back. If I had known about these changes and what they mean, I could have planned and saved some of my leave time for a cushion to land on when they kick me over the edge.

I'm not going to obsess over it, the old man is doing that for both of us. I figure it will all turn out ok in the end, and we will live. The only thing that scares me is my insurance...sigh.

I made an appointment to talk to a college planner Thursday...bleah. I have to get all my certs and classes and credits together and see what they will honor and what I can do. Anyone know what student insurance covers?

Thankfully, the night shift is out of sight and hopefully out of mind.
