On Tuesday I came in here looking for a big hug. I didnt say much at the time, but the moment I dreaded came and past. At work on Monday afternoon, we were told that there were going to be lay offs and the names were already submitted. We knew lay offs were bound to happen yet again (with the last round being about 2 months ago) but it one moment it went from the fear of the rumors to a blatant fact. So on Tuesday I was just feeling very low because I just felt like we were just waiting for the axe to fall. I was scared for my job and just emotionally drained after seeing so many lay offs in 2 years time. Well anyway, I am a lucky one. I kept my job
at least for now
I am asking for two things. The first is to wish all those who are currently unemployed all the best in where ever life takes them. The second is to wish me luck as I begin my job search. I did keep my job, but after seeing about 10 or so rounds of lay offs in less than 2 years, I cannot take it anymore. I am not sure exactly what Ill be looking for -- possibly go back to the IT field for a while, but I do know that I need a change of pace and a change of scenery. I would have looked earlier but I know that by leaving my current position, I will be taking a massive pay cut and I needed for my DH to be more secure in his job before I began looking. So if you can keep all those people looking for work in your thoughts, prayers or whatever I would appreciate it.
Thank you all so much for your support. You all have no idea how much all your kind words, hugs, thoughts & prayers from Tuesday meant to me. You guys really are the greatest!!
