Yep it is the first day back.

I have always thought the day after a holiday makes it not even worth taking off the holiday in the first place. I came down with a bug and began running a fever today. I went home and went to bed. Every one is afraid of getting the flu so unlike the old days when you work through the fever... Well not so much these days with the swine flu. Lets make it clear I do not have the flu.

A little bit of news from my boss today. You see he bailed on to another job and out of my department. He was tired of being a sitting duck. Being the good ol boy industry that the freight business is he gets to move on. The rest of us remain a sitting duck and in a week a sitting duck with no manager. Although my boss keeps assuring us we will have a new manager, he has no idea when. HMMM.

Well again another short blog today. I have got some kind of bug and I am going back to bed. I be at work tomorrow and I again I will bring a large bag for my stuff. Just in case. Have I mentioned I hate living like this?

Monday night weekend over

Well the long weekend is over and back to work in the morning. I can not help but wonder if Tuesday is the day they give me a box. The day of each new work week also brings the dread of not knowing if I will have job or not. I have to believe that in my heart the President of YRC has a very heavy heart for all of the job losses. He made a lot of bad decisions, but in his defense the economy has not helped. I read horrible things people have wrote about Bill Zollers but I think, how do they know how he feels? Can you imagine the position he is in? I mean yes he made horrible decisions and he is now living with them but really no one intentially puts a company in such a mess. So tonight will be a short blog as I go off early to bed only to toss and turn all night wondering if I will have a job. More importantly if I don't this job how will I take care of my family?

Signing off tonight. Talk to who ever ,if anyone is even reading this.

Labor day weekend

Here I sit on my first day on this blog. Prior to setting up this blog I was again on the Internet reading the latest guesses about my companies financial troubles. I work for YRC INC. I was hired 3 years ago to work for what was known at that time as Roadway. I look back at the day they hired me as sort of ironic now. You see my husband's job had just went to Mexico and he was headed for the unemployment line. The other ironic piece is that it too is a union company across the way from Roadway. Guesses anyone? Freightliner.

I love my job and to be honest I have no ill will with the company at all. The thing I do hate is not knowing from day to day if I will have a job. I like a thousand other people feel like the sitting duck I am. I am a non union employee with the company who is a very union company. I read comments every day and they blame the President of our company and that is not what this blog is about. I just want to document my journey with this company and a job that I truly love. Why? Well it brings me comfort to some how be able to type out my theories and fears.

So join me on my journey as we find out if

1. Will my company go bankrupt?

2. When will my department go a way?

3. what I do with my life after YRC?

I can not reveal my identy untill I no longer work for the company.
