Yeah, it's time for an entry.

May 31, Fairpoint Communications will eliminate all of their specific location customer service employees. This includes roughly 30 people at GTCom, the phone company I work at.

Well, it also roughly includes me. That's the bad news. Now, the good news.

I'm getting paid well for taking this. Three weeks base pay (40 hours a week), plus another week for each full year I've been with the company (one)...and $3,000. Yeah, it's a pretty nice deal. It gets better.

The closure of the positions is entirely dependent on how quickly we transition to a new billing system. The current plan is to run bills on the old and new systems concurrently in March. If everything goes well, the new system will be in place in April and we'll be let go. With pay through May 31, plus the package. What does this mean to you, the blog reader?

...Bitches, it means I'm coming home. With that much money, I can move back to Murfreesboro and look for a job. Trust me, being local helps a ton in getting hired. Anywhere. So yeah.

May 31 or bust.
