Well...funny you should mention that...there was A Development a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't think I ought to mention it in case it turned out to be a case of counting chickens, but anyway we had a meeting with The Boss yesterday, and basically...
Well, I can't go into detail on the intrawebs, for confidentiality reasons, but basically in the past few weeks Company X, of which I am an employee, has been taken over/bought out/what have you by Company Y, who are much bigger and with a more robust client base, and they have confirmed that they will be looking to retain most or all of the current staff, which means that redundancies are on hold for the time being. It also means that there is quite likely to be more work for me to do after the account I am currently working on expires on June 30. So, while I don't want to go celebrating when things are still a bit up-in-the-air and we're still unclear on precisely what will be happening to us in the next few months, I no longer need to get another job by the end of next month. So, good-ish news, then!
Anyway, I was feeling quite pleased about that, and then I came online and read Maggadin's lj post yesterday, and was reminded pretty forcefully that my worries pale in comparison to some other people's. I hope she'll be okay. :(
And I hope everything is going okay for you too. As okay as it can, anyway.
And no, I don't think Kennedy's stupid...just, well, straightforward in that Benton-esque sort of way. Here's hoping he and the Captain don't get eaten by wolf-creatures at the start of the next chapter!
