The New Year...
It is a rather strange feeling that I have right now.
I'm not nearly as worried or stressed out as I used to be. I mean, after New Year's Day, I think I began to actually relax and enjoy life. Maybe it was spending time with my family or my nephew or something. But there had been such a major chip on my shoulder for the past few months that it finally disappeared and I'm finally a bit more freer than I was before.
Unfortunately, the chip on the shoulder may have dealt with my job. You see, being an outsource vendor, at any time we can lose our contract and have the client pull out. In my case, it would be Verizon Wireless. And as of Feb. 28, 2006, they are pulling out of our center. In other words, unless we get another vendor who is willing to move in, I will not have a job when the first of March rolls around. And we were told this on Friday which basically was a lovely Christmas/New Year's present.
But you know... I'm not as worried as a lot of people in the center are. Of course, I don't have any kids or a husband who sits on his ass and does nothing. What I do have is a loving family, a roof over my head, and friends (even though I don't talk or get to see them enough) that I know are out there and wishing me the best in my life.
So, I'll find another job, either in this area or out of the area. I can go back to school. I can work on various projects that I have lying around. I have a lot of choices and a lot of opportunities and I will not worry about losing my job until it happens.
To everyone other there in Journal land.. have a safe and happy year!
