...It isn't pretty! I have been out of work for three months, and I have to tell you, I am not in a happy place.
The First Month...wasn't too bad because I felt like I had a pretty good chance of regaining employment with my former employer thanks to the encouragement I had gotten from management and HR.
The Second Month...was a snowy and stormy one, and I appreciated not having to get stuck in the bad weather driving to and from work. However, it was just around this time I realized that the magic of my return to work was fading.
The Third Month...has been the worse because while I've done all the "right" things in redoing my resume, attending classes through the transition company provided by my former employer, and posting my resume to job websites and applying to jobs, I have not gotten one bite except for that creepy call the other night. Am I under-qualified, over-qualified, or just over the hill? Let's face it, I am certainly no millenial baby. Has "boom" in the Baby Boom generation fast becoming a pfssst?
What the F*** Now? I am sad that I feel that I've lost any chance of returning to my former employer. I am also pretty pissed off that I am in this position considering I was not fired, but let go because of a decision I made almost a year ago to change roles within a company I had worked in for six years and that I really liked, but who did not have the headcount for me to stay.
Financially, life is a suck hole, and I do not know what we're going to do, and it scares the hell out of me. I want to thank the Bush administration and the corporate fat cats whose arrogance put this country into this economic sewage...how's it going for all of you paying your bills?
