Ever since I received the first e-mail about my clients I knew the clock was ticking. I had 2 interviews that brought nothing to fruition unfortunately.
Then yesterday at 4pm I was called into a “meeting.”
I knew what it was the minute I heard my now former boss say my name.

I get 2 weeks severance pay which is a relief. That means I don’t have to go into full-on panic mode for 2 weeks. Hopefully I can find something temporary in the next 2 weeks. I have an interview already on Thursday and a 3 hour clerical staffing interview tomorrow.

The whole thing is a relief.

That sick, queasy, nauseated feeling I’ve been waking up with for the last month is gone.
The tense, sore, tingly spot on my left shoulder blade is relaxing.

I’m annoyed that I have a blemish on my resume that will be difficult to explain away to a prospective employer. I’m also going to have to take a few steps backwards in my career just to re-establish my confidence and employability.

I had wanted to quit on my own terms, but financially we couldn’t do it without me having another job.

So…. if anyone knows of anyone who is hiring for anything that pays at least $13.00/hour or more, please let me know. I’ll be here at home, combing the want ads daily.
