Today Is Not a Good Day

Why?  Oh just because I got to work this morning only to find out that I am now unemployed.

Laid off.

Great.  Just GREAT!

I went into panic mode.  WTF am I going to do?  I’m in the boat with so many other people right now.  It’s not like there is a plethora of jobs out there to choose from.  This is just not good!  Not good at all!

I get a 2 week severance and then another 2 week something or other.  So basically a month’s pay.  I should have my final check tomorrow.  And I just realized that I was in the negative for my PTO so that can’t be good.  I really want to cuss up a storm right now.  Oh and the bonus that I was just told that I was going to get for last quarter… yeah… won’t get that either because you only get it if you are currently employed when the bonus is issued.  What?  They can’t put it in addition to the remainder of my pay.  THAT’S CONVENIENT ISN’T IT?

I know that I have support.  I know that I’ll get through this.  Above all I know that God has a plan and that I just need to be patient and go with what He has in store for me.  He isn’t going to let me down.  I just need to give my fears and worries over to Him and do what I’ve got to do to find a new job.

I’ve already sent my resume out to a few places.  Tomorrow Luann is going to take a look at my resume and help me to get into tip top shape for any other positions that I apply for.  As long as I stay proactive and don’t fall into a depression about this, I’ll be okay.  Jacob is also going to look for a second job.

Please pray for me.
