hello

[ericsmind]

So i don't check live journal or read it too often but I thought I would let you know whats going on with me. Most of you know I was working for an amazing company in Atlanta. It is pretty much the largest Engineering and Architectural Company in the world with over 57,000 employees. I had a great drive to work, working in an amazing building and office, with an amazing group of people. We were small, at just 10, but a tight-knit family at that. Our group has been fighting an uphill battle from the day our group was started almost 2 years ago. With the merger of my former company (Carter Burgess) into the Jacobs company, the struggle has become even larger. Not going to go into depth because that would take too long but last week corporate decided to cut 6 people from our group due to oporational reasons, 1 of them being myself. It was a very sad day for all of us. My group manager was crying in his office because he did not want them to cut the group and fought hard to keep us surviving.

Now I am Jobless. Thats a tough thing to chew on right now with the economy being where it is, and my industry being in the state it's in. Thus begins the hunt for another full time income in which I am scared. Scared at whats to come, scared if I will find something, let alone something I like, scared of what might be.

So if you could take a minute to pray, send good vibes, or just think about me. I don't mean that to sound selfish in any way as I know we are all living in a struggling economy but I\it really would mean a lot to me. Love you all.
