Even though this last week has been an emotional roller coster, there is not a lot going on.
Yes, I am still worried about keeping my job. Yes, I hate the fact that it could be another 7 weeks until we get a definite answer to if I will keep it or not. Yes, I hope that everyone I work with will have a job within WaFed.
But no, I still don't think its really the time to start looking for a new job. I really don't want to start out at the bottom of the totem pole so to speak. I really, really don't want to work for another small bank that at any moment could go through the exact same thing as Legacy Horizon branches are going through now. It sucks! I would not wish this on anyone. I now know how WaMu employees felt when they were closed. As much as people say they know what happens when a bank is closed by FDIC, they don't. Especially when they say it is going to be ok. They have no idea.
One new thing to report...On the same day Legacy Horizon was closed, Jake (my husband) found out that the school district he works for is in BIG trouble. Big enough that the State of Washington might have to step in and take over. Ugh. A broke entity taking over another broke entity. Why? What a stupid idea. And if that happens there will be lots and lots of cuts. As far as we know nothing is safe. From the Principal. To all sports. To even the teachers.
Yes, once again, even after 4 years of teaching Jake is still worried about is job and if he will have a teaching position next year. We were very fortunate that last year Jake was one of the lucky ones to keep his job. But if sports are cut, students will leave to go to schools with sports and there will be a need to cut more teachers. Eventually all you would have are those kids who don't care, who sell drugs, and who make very bad decisions.
As of now it is hard to say that there will actually be cuts at the school, and that is most likely worst case. It is hard to think of anything else.
I guess only time will tell. Both Jake and I are hoping and praying that we keep our jobs and everything works out. As it always seems to do.
I hope that there is someone out there looking out for us.

It sure does help to have someone to talk to. Thank you Trena. And yes, you did inspire this :O)
Ah! Interesting commentary about the State and Jakes school! Broke entities. I guess all I can say is things work out! Will pray for you of course :)
Unfotunatly it is so ture. The State is just as broke as the School. Its a pretty stupid idea if you ask me. But that is of course worst case. Fingers crossed for sure.
