Add me to the list of the unemployed.
Today makes it 2 weeks since I’ve been unemployed. Yup, two weeks ago I got laid off due to downsizing (or, at least that’s what they told me). I cried all the way home nearly pulling over so I didn’t get in a wreck because I couldn’t see past the tears in my eyes. Then I got home and Brendan sat with me for a while. Then my wonderful husband said to me, why don’t you start following your dreams for a change and do what you’ve been wanting to do for years. Altho they are paying me for the next month to “find something” (who finds something in a month???? Especially in a recession like this?!?!?! That’s insanity!) Anyway, it’s tough when you think you are part of the core “group” in a company, only to get laid off at the worst time, EVER. What crap.
Anyway, I told my Mother of my husbands idea, that I should follow my dreams and what better time than now? Not saying what that is right now, because I don’t want to jinx that too 
Mom was all for the idea. Everyone is backing me up on this which gives me the courage and motivation to get on out there and do it.
The only one that has kept in contact with me after the lay off was Brian. What a guy. Shows you who your real friends are, that’s for sure. We’re currently cat sitting for him right now until Saturday. Mom is here until Wednesday. It’s been hard to get my work done without the constant interruption but I’d rather her be here than not.
My sweet Cam bought me a book called “You can heal your life” by Louise L. Hay. Thanks my dear sister, I love you so much We’re going to go through each chapter one by one together. This whole job laid off thing has been just .. well, it got me real down for a little bit, then I started the panic. Now the stress from that job has lifted like you wouldn’t believe. I feel 100 tons lighter. I never realized how much work I put into my job until now when I look back on it. All the time I’ll never be paid for. Fact of it is, they do that intentionally. The last week of working there I hear a lot of things the higher ups were talking about and I never realized what a dishonest company that is, and they don’t care who takes the fall for it. They did me a favor, that’s all I know.
