Well...
I'm moving back to VA much sooner than expected. On Friday I was laid off of my job along with seven other people. I know it wasn't personal and I'm pretty sure they chose me because they knew that I wanted to move back to VA anyway. It still sucks though. Finding a new job in this economy may be a bit crazy. But, I guess it's what I have to do. Luckily, I have enough money saved that I can take care of myself a little bit, I have a small severance coming, and Charles is going to help out too, which is really nice of him.
As much as I had been planning on doing this, it didn't really please me that they broke up with me before I broke up with them. Granted, it was what I was going to do, I really would charge, I hate not being in control of situations.
It looks like my move may come in about two weeks. Short timing yes, happy about the move, yes, happy about losing my job, no. The good thing is that since I was laid off I can claim full unemployment benefits. I think that I can do that for up to 6 months, which is good.
I'm glad that Charles is letting me move in early. It's easier than sitting around in Cinci, moping in my apartment looking for a job several hundreds of miles away. And I'll be close to my friends. Which is always a plus. My parents have also said that the monthly payments that I send them can be postponed until I am back on my feet. That's an extra $250 a month I don't have to worry about spending, yay!
I know it's probably a blessing in disguise. And it's a good thing, overall. Still frustrating, but at least now I'm not the bad guy. I was going to quit anyway, and I was a bit upset and nervous about it. They just did the hard work for me.
