My Roller Coaster Job

I got a promotion this year and switched jobs. I was very excited to see what lay upon the horizon with my new endeavor. Part of my interview I made the comment "I love to be challenged in my job". WOW did I ever eat my words!
So the situation is this, I started this new job mid year thinking it would take a few months to get things in order and then it would level out. We are now about 10 months into this job and it is still a roller coaster ride.
To top it all off the company is restructuring and my job is going to be eliminated. First it was December 31st, then January 31st, and now it is February 29th. UN freaking believable! (keeping this g rated for the kids) Heres the real kicker, I have to train my replacement. I know it does not make sense to train a new person when a job is getting eliminated. I don't get it either.
It would be ok if I was getting laid off, I can sit home and collect unemployment and look for a job, but they won't lay me off they keep stringing me along.....
Have you ever heard of a company that does that to someone. I will be happy to be done with this roller coaster of a company!
On to bigger and better American things. (the company is German)

The Year in Review

Ok I know this is a little late to be doing this but I wanted to remember all of the great things in 2007! Our family had some really big events in this year.
  • Starting off Tyler graduated from Pre-K.
  • Andy Graduated from College
  • Erin Graduated from College
  • Peyton turned 1 year old
  • I started knitting (this is huge, the start of the addiction)
  • My brother got engaged!!
  • I got a new job (Big move just not sure it was a great thing)

I might add a few more down the line but those are the big events in the Greenhalgh family
