since I lost my job at Brenau. It has also been three years since I graduated from Brenau. My how life has changed. I know that I could sit here and complain about how it sucked to be unemployed and have no money. How I had to sell pretty much everything that I owned just to pay the bills. And how much I was angry at Brenau for letting me go. But the truth be told...I'm kind of glad that they did.
I think that losing my job was good for me. It showed that the people I thought were my friends actually weren't. It kind of hurt at first but I'm over it. It's their loss not mine. They decided to stop being friends, not me. I have an even better job than what I had at Brenau. I have better coworkers which is a great plus. Plus I have had enough money to pay off my car and my scooter that I bought. So that is two huge bills out of the way. Now only if I could get rid of my credit cards and I would be fine.
I have also learned from losing my job that I can survive on less. I can learn to stretch what little money I have to pay my bills and still buy myself a little something. I thanked the Gods for the first pay check that I got from Southern School Services. They saved me for a long time and I will be forever grateful to them.
Overall I think this year had been very good to me. It has had a lot of downs but the ups have helped it along the way. I look forward to seeing what will happen in the next year. I am hoping that if I keep things positive...it will happen.
So cross your fingers and hope for the best.
