Work?
Well, I post here after a long absence.
First off, I was laid off. January 26th was at Thursday. I arrived to work and listened to a message I had from my stand in supervisor, telling me that he was in town because he was interviewing some people for the sales position. He said he wanted to have a meeting at noon. The thought of me being let go crossed my mind, but I quickly pushed that thought out. Well, noon came and I made my way upstairs to meet with him. The minute he asked me if I knew where the HR office was I knew. Sure enough, I walked in there and was told that Friday was my last official day, but I could leave as soon as our meeting was over. By 12:30 I was on my way home.
I have tried to maintain a positive attitude and have been on top of the unemployment claims and new job search, but I am now starting to stress out a little. It has been thirteen days since I was let go and I have applied for 35 jobs. I have determined to only accept positions that are no more that 25 miles away from where I live. The 45 minute one way commute definitely took it's toll on me. I will consider a job in Seattle as I won't have to drive if I do work up there.
I have a lot of time on my hands these days, so T has been coming home to a clean house, laundry done and dinner ready. I like the break from having to spend so much time sitting in traffic, but I hope I find employment soon.
Anyway, just wanted to update as I have been away for a while.
