Time on my Hands
January 18th, 2010
Remember when I said that work was really stressing me out? Well the good news is that my job isn’t stressing me out anymore, but the bad news is that I don’t have one. I was laid off this morning. Which is really just a nicer way of saying that I got fired.
It wasn’t because of anything I did, it was just because the company is in such dire financial straits that they can’t afford to pay me anymore. And it wasn’t just me – several people were “laid off” today as well. I think the thing I am most sad about at this moment, to be completely truthful, is that I had to cancel our reservations in Traverse City for this weekend. We just really can’t spend the money on it at the moment, even though it breaks my heart.
I am in the process of filing an unemployment claim, and I have already applied for a couple of jobs, too. I’m scared and I have no idea how to do this.
