Perfect end to the week
Well, despite my stubborn refusal to face the facts, I have been trying to convince myself over the last three months that things (i.e housing and mortgage market) are getting slowly better and it's not that bad and then all the banks started collapsing on Monday and I knew that was it and there was no hope for my job and so it wasn't really a huge shock when I was told yesterday that I'm being made redundant.
So I'm now officially unemployed.
I can't blame my firm because I know they have no other choice, and my boss bless him looked like he would rather be doing anything else when he broke the news to me yesterday and they are giving me a generous redundancy package all things considered so I suppose it could be worse. It's just that now I have to start the whole job hunting process again and I HATE job hunting, it's the most depressing demoralising process and it's bad enough having to do it under normal circumstances but now I have to do it in a climate where thousands of people have been made redundant and are also looking for work. There is absolutely nothing available in my field and I have no experience in any other field and I'm competing with thousands of other people in the same situation.
I finish next Thursday so this is my last Friday here. I can't believe how quickly everything moves.
This weekend is going to be fun fun fun wrestling with my cv(!)
