Tonight, at work, we will be rounded up one by one and told if we still have a job. Most of us have no idea how to tell if we are in a good or bad position. I just had a long and difficult discussion with my girlfriend about what I would do if I get laid off. She made me agree that I wouldn't leave her or leave Phoenix. I don't think I can keep that agreement. The only reason I came to this town was because of my job. I don't really like Arizona. I don't think I want to spend the rest of my life here and if I am given an opportunity to leave, I'm going to take it. This wouldn't be so much of an opportunity as much as a kick in the ass, but still. Furthermore, I don't want her dating a jobless bum. She deserves better. I know that she is too loyal and too stubborn to leave me because of something like this. But she deserves a guy that can at least pay for his half of a meal. I refuse to be a loser boyfriend.

We'll see what happens tonight.
