Well, it's not a real surprise that it's happening, considering our state budget shortfall is 1.6 Billion $$$'s. Our department may actually be okay on this round, but the new budget comes out in July, and they are predicting even bigger cuts.....but, what will be, will be. I'm a firm believer in things happening for a reason. I'll be ok financially for a bit, so I do have something to fall back on. It's just the waiting that is the hardest thing to deal with......they have been doing this department by department, and they've pretty much hit them all but the Police Department. They laid off 90 people in one department alone! We're so short handed right now that we can barely meet the commitments we have. My biggest fear is that the new Governor will just disband the department altogether......but again, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it......I can't control it, so it's not worth working myself up. There are lots of places that are actually hiring, it's just that it takes so long to go thru the process....at least 2 months, as many as 6. Worse comes to worse, I'll go back home, stay with my parents while I'm looking. At least I won't have to worry about rent! (I'll hafta hide all my toys tho.......don't want to freak out my mom!)
