I'm at the airport right now and have been up since about 430 am. This is retarded! However, I get to go see my brother and that makes me happier than I can tell you. I'm sitting next to some white trash dudes who have that icky, liquid smokers laugh. I used to smoke.. so, it's okay if I judge.
I need this vacation. Badly.
Last Thursday, I lost my job. What? Thought my job was secure? Well, kids... nothing in life is secure. I was converting from a contract employee to a permanent position. In fact, I interviewed for a new position that would have had more responsibility and more pay. To do this, I had to go through the circus of their hiring process. Now mind you, I went through a background/employment check a year ago when I got hired for a contract employee position. This time, it was not so successful. I forgot to disclose 1 job I had over the summer that I ended up not taking. I had 1 orientation and due to whatever reason, I wasn't able to work this job. I didn't disclose.. truly due to lack of memory.. and was walked out of my job on Thursday. I take full responsibility for my actions. I didn't do what I was supposed to do.. however, being walked out in front of people I had worked with for over a year was humiliating to say the least. I was sobbing.. a mess. I just gave these people a year of my life and it was gone in an instant.
I say my life is sticky because it is... I lost my job. My Nana is coming home and transitioning into comfort care. My Mom is stressed..and life is more difficult than it has been in a while. However, this will not stop me from moving forward. Everything happens for a reason. I'm not entirely sure of said reason, but I have to trust that I will land on my feet, just like I always do.
Who knows.. I may find work in Orlando while I'm there...
xoxo, my friends.
