Seriously, where the heck has time gone and where have the months rolled off to? I feel like I sniffed and July just disappeared (well looks like I did too in a way) and August is soon to follow. Well here's the skinny on what has been happening in the past two months:

I ended up getting a transfer within my company. My former new boss was able to find a position literally like the last day I was supposed to be employed, so HR moved fast and got me moved over into the new area within a two week period. The new job... I don't know what to say. I guess I can start off by saying it's a lot different from my previous one and the micromanagement is ridiculous. I really really feel as though there is this hand just tightening down on me every time I walk into that building. The position was still for tech illustration, however I'm working with the prime contractor right now so I have to work in their facility, not our own companies. So their building. Their rules.

Okay, I can live with that. So anyway, lots of things have been happening beyond the normal work that has seriously frustrating me. First off, everyone keeps referring me as a temp employee when in fact I've been working with the company for YEARS now. Apparently HR didn't bother adjusting the original paperwork to reflect my transfer, leaving the TEMP title on the paperwork instead which has been the source of much confusion for all parties involved. This is going to seriously impact me should layoffs happen next month (and I'll address this in a bit). Second, cubeville that I work in has to have an average temperature of -30° Celsius or something. Today my fingers were so cold I could barely work or type anything. And it's monday! MONDAY! I don't know how these assholes get away with keeping the room temp at an ungodly low setting like this! Will they fix this? Hell no! They keep it this way because if they adjust it then everyone complains it's too hot. I swear one of these days, the lead illustrator will walk by and instead of a human working diligently at a computer, they will behold what appears to be a dead frozen woman curled in a fetal position under her desk, feebly clutching her desktop to her chest as a last ditch effort to preserve her body heat before she expired.

In all, I guess it won't matter much anyway considering that next month I probably won't have a job again. Yeah, last week we had a huge staff meeting and we get told that a huge percent of people on our program will get laid off.

I guess it would be fair for me to warn the public about something:

If you ever have thoughts of doing any sort of government contract work, I will hunt you down and beat that idea out of your head!!! I will literally use my super powers to reach into your brain, seize that thought and beat it within an inch of it's life to NEVER EVER pollute your head with such a rubbish thought!

Screw government! Screw contracting! It's all crap! Steer clear!

But then I'm sure you of sound rational mind know this already and think I'm the sadist who keeps doing it. Anyway, due to the business at work, when I finally get home browsing on the computer is seriously the last thing on my mind. I just want to unwind, sketch, try and do something to pull my mind off the drudgery that I know happens the following day. That's why I really haven't posted anything here in so long. I've just been so burned out. And depressed.
