Co-worker reunion

I had quite the surprise of running into an ex co-worker this last week.(glad I'm insured) I hadn't seen Ronda in over a year. I truly enjoy visiting and B.S.ing with people and to do it while we were both on the clock made it that much more enjoyable. She is one of my favorite people.
She, along with Janet and I, were laid off on the same day after many years of hard working, dedicated, loyal & faithful service to the company. (OK, she & Janet were. I was laid off after many years of service to me)
The three of us had lunch later at El Mexico restaurant. We used to lunch there quite a bit. They always made fun of me for only ordering huevos rancheros. (my friends laughed at me when I said that I could order in spanish, but when the waiter came, I simply said "Huevos Rancheros) I invited her husband to join us(hoping that he would pick up the tab) but, he had a conference call and didn't realize that his cell phone was cordless.
So, anyway, we caught each other up with our lives. Janet is in line to be laid off again,(after a year of hard working, dedicated, loyal & faithful service)(when will she learn) Ronda is back in the same business she was laid off from, but with a different company(when will she learn) and I am back to wondering if I really have a legitimate job.
Here's a typical work day for me. I'll get about three 1 minute calls sometime between midnight and 3am from employees asking important questions like "If the buildings on fire is it my responsibility to call 911?" Then I get about 2 automated calls a day around 8am, because someone forgot to clock in and I have to call them to make sure they showed up to work. If they didn't show up, I can't do anything about it because it could be a 5 hour drive to get there and there would be nothing I could do. Then sometime between 9:30 am and 5pm I spend a half hour on the computer filling out the time sheet. Then sometime between 12 noon and 11pm I telephone an account to speak with the management about issues or concerns. And I can do this all in my tattered bath robe & bunny slippers, sitting in my recliner, unshaven, drinking my Folgers coffee, making the same money that I was making at my old job. (I did learn)
