I apologize immensely for not keeping my word and updating Sunday and yesterday, but I went into the office on Monday after my week vacation and was told I was “being let go.”
I think that’s a funny term, being let go; what exactly is that supposed to come across sounding like? To me it says: “We don’t care about you as a person much, thanks for your years of hard work here but this is not about the friendship that we have built whatsoever, it is simply about money” Oh, and believe me, I completely understand business, but this is ridiculous in many ways…
Luckily I had envisioned something like this happening (knowing my current/former companies financial state) and had already prepared. The good news: I have an interview for a much better position with a lot more growth opportunity and a considerable amount of more money on Tuesday, the 15th. The bad news: Even if the interview goes well, it will be about a month to a month and a half before that entire hiring process is completed. Therefore, yours truly, has to go find some bartending or waiting job for the next month so I don’t just sit on my ass and feel useless.
If only I could be paid to write…
I will return to regular blogging after this has blown over a bit. I am still at the company and training my replacement (yes, that’s right, replacement. A girl that isn’t all that intelligent whom they obviously hired for much less money), so it’s been a kind of stressful week and I should be back this weekend.
Oh, and of course, I wouldn’t miss Friday Fun Day! It’ll be here this Friday. Hope I haven’t lost you all.
BTW – Meagan texted me last night after no contact for over a month, how weird is that?!
NG:
Sorry to hear about the job situation. And the replacement. A text, huh? Intriguing. Keep us posted when you can. I once had a guy do that to me and all it did was muddy the waters and confuse me.
