So...I found out yesterday that as of this moment...I will NOT have a job after the 29th of this month! My position is not being renewed on my contract. The customer, although they love my work, they do not have enough work (or money) to pay for my position in the new year. Well..they WOULD have enough work for me, if management were to PUSH the SOP...however, since that's not going to happen...and the office is in a reorg...it's easier to do away with my position. Not the first time it's happened to me...and probably won't be the last. Nobody appreciates an Editor! Oh well...egos are involved here too....oh well.
I was holding it together pretty well too. DH took it well (again, not the first time we've been through this) and I was chugging along on my way into work this morning....WHEN...BLAMO! I got pulled over for speeding! Isn't that just great?! I was too busy thinking about this whole job thing and the sneaky bugger was sitting out in a corn field! So...I had my emotional breakdown on the side of the road (not in front of the cop)...and I'm at work now. Gotta make up those hours from being out sick last week! Poop happens! It sucks...but all we can do is move on! So...I'm job hunting again. Maybe I'll figure out how to free-lance it. Who knows? This could be another adventure!
Yeah it sucks...but what I learned the last time is that everything happens for a reason...even if we can't see it at the time! (or appreciate it.) I'm going to try and stay positive and know that one way or another, it'll work itself out. (Of course I"m not sitting at home on my fat tushy...waiting for stuff to happen!) Time to pound the pavement again!
GO TEAM!
(Oh...my ear is still infected and I can't hear out of it now....FUN!!!!)
