My Hospital Sells, I Lose My Job

Sigh... Yes, it's true. Alvarado is being sold to Plymouth Health. They're planning on keeping the majority of the staff and will continue to be an acute-care hospital. However, I appear to be in the minority. Alvarado said that I will be terminated as of Dec. 31st, 2006 (or when the hospital sells). Funny. That's my anniversary. And funny. My work contract says I have to work either Christmas Day (going to be in El Centro that morning and Las Vegas that night) or New Years Day (let's just say I'm planning on staying up a little too late the night before if you catch my drift). So guess what Alvarado? Not gonna happen. You can have my job. I'm gonna celebrate with the most important person to me in the world besides my God, my wife.

(This actually couldn't have happened in a more favorable way if I'd planned it. I was actually planning on sucking it up and working on New Years Day, then leaving the next day for vacation. Instead Shannon and I can have an extended celebration in the mid-California area after our trip to Nevada with Shannon's family. Yah!)
