REST DAY.

I know It's not a normal rest day........look for more randomness in the days ahead, don't get too comfortable.

With the announcement of the pending budget cuts with the city of PHX, and the threat of layoff's of Firefighters for the first time in the history of the PHX fire dept, What are your thoughts of the impending doom?

Post thoughts to comments.

Been struggling a bit with finding time for WODs the last couple weeks, Medic school is kickin my ass so I've been focusing hard on my studies. Hoping once I'm through this classroom portion and hit the hospital rotations I can get my workout schedule back.
In regards to the impending layoffs.... to be honest I'm worried. Pete came down and told us himself that they were doing everything in their power to make sure nobody gets the boot and that he just couldn't see how it could happen. But looking at it from a more realistic view (maybe even pessemistic), numbers are numbers and if it comes down to millions after we do these talked about pay cuts and furlow days, well let's face it that's blue shirts. In two months I will have 2 years on and the scary part is, there's only one class less senior than mine... I'm really hoping things pan out somehow. I have faith in Pete and those union guys to do everything they can for us young guys. I guess now we just ride the roller coaster and wait. This career is all I've got.

I'm in the same boat as dev with almost 2yrs I don't wanna see anyone go, I'm hoping this is all political and they save our jobs.
