Dear Self: snap out of it! October 9, 2007
Posted by gmbmfb in : job , trackbackWhat a relaxing weekend! Definitely something I needed … and such a weird change to have a weekend off from work, instead of spending hours in the office, frantically trying to catch up with the previous week’s work. I’m still full from the 2 Thanksgiving dinners I had. :)
I wish I had something PF-related to talk about, but I’ve been in a bit of a blogging rut since I was let go from my job last week. Wanda from Well-Heeled sent me a nice e-mail, which I haven’t gotten a chance to thank her for. :) I really appreciate it! And Mr. Cheap over at Four Pillars wrote a post about Getting Fired, where he admits that he’s been fired twice before. He also gave me some really encouraging advice, and that has helped a lot. Three months ago, there were SO many jobs available, and now there seem to be a lot less. Part of me wants to just veg out and become a complete bum for a while … but the sensible side of me is telling to shut up and stop being such a baby. I’m not panicking, but I’m starting to realize that it’s crunch time, and I can’t afford to stay unemployed for too long.
My mom told me I should go on EI if I can’t find a job after this contract ends. It’s something to think about, but I’d feel weird going on it. It’s tough trying to stay positive, and it’s hard to start telling my friends and family. :) To go from the person who had the highest paying job out of our circle of friends, to the person who will be unemployed in 5 weeks … well that’s a hard pill to swallow. Oh well. It happens.
And as I’m typing this, I just realized I have that bill to pay still from my dental surgery. I can’t believe I forgot to pay it!!! I’d better give them a call right now. :(
