It happened. I'm officially unemployed. Shortly after returning to lunch, a manager pulled me into the HR department and I was notified that "my services are no longer required after today." Or something along those lines..I knew what the outcome was going to be so it didn't really matter how they phrase it. In a way, I was looking forward to this as I can put my backup plan to action: moving to Texas. But something weird happened when I was searching for a new place to live (I've been on the search now for 4 weeks - trying to find the perfect place - in which I did): I made 3 new friends. Normally, I don't make friends very easily. I'm kinda suspicious of others and others seem to view me as being...weird; odd; strange; different. But I met three people who seemed genuine and genuinely interested in who I am. And this just adds to the complexity and difficulty to the decisions I have to make. Already, I have made the decision to move back with my dad (who is now living with his girlfriend) while I figure out my next step: do I try to find work in New Hampshire (where family and some friends live); do I try to find work back in Massachusetts (where again, some family and my new friends live); or do I try for what I've been looking to do for a long time: move to Texas - where I don't know anyone and I'd be pretty much on my own. I know I've mentioned this interest that I have with Texas. I'm not sure where it would go but I have hopes that something positive will happen.
