Goodbyes

Ten years down the line.
Happy job.. until just
of late.. changes made
jobs no longer here, in
actual fact she's been
what I consider to have
been well and truly
shafted... fucked,
pushed out of the
door... a job?
no more. Tears
did flow, she's
our friend you
know... the one
who looks after
us when things go
bad... now it's
our turn but we
have no say.. she
left today.. we
said our goodbyes,
had a hug, wiped
some tears.. I
feel so sad, she
was the best,
tough on the
outside but
really? I'd
never seen
her cry..until
today. Don't
worry she's got
a case, she's
takin the union
with her she'll
make 'em pay.
It's not the
money, it's the
way they've done
it.. no rules
did they follow,
she's comin in
for a meetin
tomorrow, we'll
stay in touch..
meet for a drink
or ten.... we
don't actually
know when. I
shall keep my
eyes peeled,
Email her when
I can.. I'm
a spy for her
for the idiot
boss at work,
the one who
unknowingly
shafted her.
She will win
this case..
we will miss
her smiling
happy face,
the one who
held our
family
together.

Goodbyes are always sad, but they make room for new beginnings. xo

Man... I'm so sorry... when you posted that you were safe, I was relieved for you, but I also knew that meant that someone would have to go...

Marnie nails it up there... it's a new beginning for her...

Shoes ~ I feel guilty now knowing that I kept my job but she has lost hers... shit happens I guess. I was worried before Christmas that I may lose my position... so I got an idea of what she feels/ felt like breifly anyway. I hope she finds a beautiful job that suits her down to the ground.. she's just about to hit 60 this year, it's bad enough when we get to the greater ages in life, all of a sudden some one think's we're over the fricken hill.. I intend to work until I drop... hopefully that won't be for a long time yet... I'm 50 in 3 weeks time yay ;) thank you shoes... much appreciated.
