Surprise Surpise - Yet Another Upset
I'm now forced to look for work since the powers that be decided they wanted their budget to look good and lay me off and force those remaining to work their asses off since there really isn't a lack of work as they claim. I really miss my coworkers and manager as the guy who replaced my former uber manager was even better. Such great people and I hate that this happened especially since it makes their worklife that much harder. For me, it really should be better in the long term since I now am getting paid for being home (gotta love severance pay and eventually unemployment) and can find a job more suited to my career path since that company really didn't have the room for advancement they let on and aren't doing so well either. The only reason they are profitable is because they keep cutting people.
This does really suck for me though. I can't seem to ever stay on top financially and since I was the main bread winner since my husband's replacement job was a severe pay cut and I also had the insurance - this sucks. I also hate looking for jobs and now I'm very picky about what I next invest my life into. I want the best job possible since I have the opportunity to look and feel I can't afford to waste my resources by jumping into the first thing and getting stuck again. The other part that sucks is I had to drop out of college since my tuition reimbursement obviously was cut off and the government seems to think I should be able to afford the insane tuition rates here. I still have my associates degree but I really need that damn bachelors to prove anything to anyone and get the jobs I really need to be getting into at this point.
The other news is that I've now become somewhat addicted to World of Warcraft. It's fun! Only problem is I seem to play WoW more than I do other things because, well, they aren't as fun! Sometimes it sucks to be an adult.
Ah well. Life goes and all these things happen for a reason. I'm enjoying the free time and trying to remain optimistic about where my life is heading now.
