Sounds like a line from a Genesis song. Myself and many others no longer care about work. We just go to occupy a space and pick up a paycheck. People are already starting to take personal belongings home. One of the people that I thought for sure would be kept approached one of the owners and was told, don’t wait for me start looking for a job. Well how much more blunt can you be. Hearing that made me change my mind about having a similar conversation about me and where I stood. I figure that if I don’t find something, I will be approached and given an exit date. While people at the remote places liked me, my boss and many others in the office have a different opinion of me, even though they really don’t know me or my work.
I had my phone interview today. It went okay. I am not sure if I will be called back for an in person interview but I would go. It would mean that I would have to travel a different direction to work and there wouldn’t be all of the hustle and bustle like there is with traffic at my present job.
I am chatting up everyone I know to see if I can find a job BEFORE the hammer falls. Every contact is a good contact, even if they can’t help me. They at least know my need. People talk and who knows. I would like my next employer to be my absolute last employer – I am so sick of changing jobs and looking for a job. It brings back feelings from my 2 years of unemployment.
Facing unemployment when you have a partner/spouse is a little easier. However, it still sucks. Going at this all alone well that is a complete nightmare. I pulled in the driveway tonight and saw my partners truck and thought to myself oh good he is finally home and then reality sank in again. God I miss him so much.
His presence, his advice, just him being here with me. It just really sucks. I hope that there is no where to go from here but up, because I am pretty low. However, I know that things could always be worse.
Well time to take care of the children and chat up a couple more people. Talk with you peeps later. TGTIF – Thank God Tomorrow Is Friday :).
