Sometimes it's the little things...

I have been having my occasional bouts of freaking out about not having a job. This sucks because I really wanted to enjoy the summer. Technically, I get paid until August, but I feel so stressed out I can't enjoy anything about it yet. 

We have an incredible family trip planned for July. Spending the 4th of July in DC then visiting family. I can't wait! Hopefully my constant self-doubt will not ruin it.

I received an encouraging email from a friend when he found out I was not being rehired. It helped a lot and I appreciated it more than he will ever know. Thanks, I needed that.

Real Last Day

It has dragged out longer than I thought possible, but it was my actual last day today. Driving away I was surprisingly happy. 

I saw the kids for a big at their camp and they mobbed me and stood like sad little puppies as I walked away. No matter what happens- that can never be taken away from me. Those kids love me and that means something!

I sent out two resumes today- let's see how that goes. Keep your fingers crossed, or pray- whichever is more your style.

I'll keep you posted.

Last day

I am about to get ready for my last day...I have a bunch of feelings about it.

What keeps going through my head is what I tell potential employers...sigh. I hate to lie, but the truth sound even more like a lie. Can I just say because my boss was an idiot?

New use for this blog

I am one of those people who needs accountability. So I am attempting to create it for myself. But, I am getting ahead of myself...

I had started this blog for a class and I had never really gotten much out of it, mainly because I do not think someone should be forced to make reflections- especially in a stifling format. So it sat, unused, since I had completed that class.

Now, maybe it is the combination of stir-crazy-ness from the rain and having the house to myself tonight, but I have decided to use this blog as a means to chronicle my unemployment and the steps I am taking to remedy this- especially in this super crappy economy- in this super crappy place that I live.

Tomorrow is the last day I will go into my ex-place of employment. I wish I could just be done...one more day...sigh...I can do it and then it will be done.

On to bigger and BETTER things!

I'll keep you posted!
