Yesterday I went to work, the job I've been at for the past three years as of May 11th, things were so slow that I finished at 9am, that's doing things for that day and completing everything for the next. 6-9am, not much. I was about to go when my boss asked me to stay for about another half hour. I didn't understand why, I was called into his office for a minute then asked to just fuss around.
35 minutes later I was called into his office again and the human resource director was there. They kindly told me with the new GM there came changes and the changes were that a few departments were being downsized and positions were being terminated mine was one of them. I was sad at first. I put on a smile and returned the things that belonged to them then went home. I shed a tear or two but then quickly bounced back.
I can collect on unemployment for a bit until I find something new. The problem is finding someplace that will allow me to take a week off come December for that much needed vacation I've been waiting for.
The funny thing is I feel like I should be bummed but I'm not. I feel relieved. For once I'm not trying to think about what I'm going to do first when I go to work to manage my time. I don't feel tired, I don't feel like I need to take a nap at 4 in the evening. It's like a burden that's been lifted off of me and my feet don't hurt.
I'm not going to mope about it, I laugh that I was just joking about losing it with a friend the night before. The world doesn't stop turning for our pains and losses, so why mope? Just look forwards to the new day and all that crap and look on the positive.
Like never being around those funky a** sinks, leaving them to bake muffins today. And that I left them never teaching anyone the tricks of my trade. Hehe they chose the wrong week to let me go.
