Then End of the National Document Center

We found out this morning that we've been outsourced.  I was sharing a super rush (the most unstable document I have had in my entire career) with the Doral doc center when we received word that they were about to go into a meeting with our national document center manager.  On my end, the office and human resources managers interrupted my mad rush with no concern, closed the door, and sat down looking very hang dog at me and G.  Since the first thing out of the office manager's mouth was "this is not good news," I figured it wasn't going to be good news.

So, I have been forced into early retirement today!!  Life doesn't get any more exciting than this. Thirty or so national document services specialists are being outsourced by Integreon.  I had thought of applying with them but they require a college degree (my stints at every city and community college within a 50 mile radius of my metropolis resulted in only an AA degree).  My last day will be 11/11/11.  I'll have a chunk of money from severance and over 9 weeks of accrued vacation, plus I'll get unemployment and let's not leave out the whopping $30 a month pension David left me, so soon I'll be off to see the world.  First stop, South Africa, via New England to visit family there.  My blog should get exciting now!  Any more excitement and I'll really lose my mind.  I was freaking out all day today.  I couldn't believe the document I had to work on today.  I mean, my concentration was basically absent.  I had thought of seeing if anyone else was available to work on that devil document, but I figured everyone else was probably freaking out also.

Well, except for the Silicon Valley operator, who was never part of the center.  She just crashed our party.  I kept her secret.  She saved my butt a time or two.  My James Bond life is over now.  I'm going to publish the Document Center Incident soon, and then leave that life behind me forever.

They are going to announce the closing of the Doc Center to the firm tomorrow.  Oh boy, won't that be fun!?
