Talking about strange days.

My company is a chaos today. We knew it would happen someday. They had been talking about that for months. Restructuring. We just didn’t know how many people and, of course, who was going to be fired…

We had a meeting with the general manager at 9:30 this morning. And everything started. A whole part of the company is going to disappear. Last year the company made a huge loss. Too many millions. We would have gone bankrupt if stockholders hadn’t decided to invest some more money. But a part of the company is going to disappear. The thing hasn’t finished. There are two new meetings this evening. I don’t know if I will still have a job at the end of the day.

Strange, strange. Girls crying all over the building. Improvised meetings in the offices.

Strange, strange. I went to the warehouse this morning, and I saw one the boys who works there. I see him there sometimes. He asked what was going on here in the office. I quickly explained the situation. He asked my name. I told him.

‘When are you going to give me your phone number?’

‘I’m not going to give you my phone number’

‘When are we going to go out for a coffee? Are you married?’ he said while he was holding my hand and looking at my ring. ‘Have you got a boyfriend?’

‘No, I’m not married, but yes, there is someone. And we’re not going to go out for a coffee’.

Jesus! What a day he’s chosen to ask me out. Well, I’m not going to go out with him anyway. I don’t even know his name. I only know he’s foreigner, maybe from Russia or Poland. And anyway, I’m not really interested now.

In short, this day is being really odd. And it’s not finished yet. Let’s see what’s going to happen!!!
