The Day That Almost Crushed Me
Today is one of those days you mark. I was hit in the gut today, blind sided by the CEO of our agency when she told me that she had sold the company to another agency and that they would no longer work with telecommuters. The good news is I have until Halloween before I'm completely out of a job. But the bad news is the Nashville market isn't like Atlanta. I'm at the high end of the salary stick here and that's not good.
I've been down this road before. I'm in a better position than I was so I'll get through. Losing your job is hard. It adds so much stress to your life, if you let it. But I'm putting on a positive attitude and I'm going to get a promotion and a raise out of this! It's the first time I've dealt with something like this where I have more than myself depending on me. Besides, Ashley and I budgeted tonight and we're in good shape, but we'll be on a spending freeze until I find a new job.
I'm also pissed because I feel like the CEO cut bait on herself. She stopped selling months ago. When you don't eat your own dog food, it hurts.
Oh well, I'll still give a full effort to the new company. It will be hard but they're givign me three months, so that's something. In the meantime, I'm going to re-certify my skills and keep plugging away.
I knew things were too good for life not to throw me a curve ball. Well, guess what, I'm gonna hit that curve out of the park!
