One thing about being unemployed, it sure makes it easier to look for a job!
First though, I had to pass through the 5 stages of grief:
Denial – Oh, you did NOT just fire me!
Anger - They are gonna be SO sorry, just wait until they realize how much I do around here! This place will fall to ruins without me, and I can’t wait to watch! Muh-wah-ha-haaa!!!
Bargaining – Just let me stay another month! Maybe I can work for them as a consultant. Something, anything, just don’t do this!
Depression - Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffin’ glue.
Acceptance - Wow, I might just find a better job with more money; a job that I actually enjoy! I’m free!!!
So now, I off to file for unemployment, sign up to do Temp work (which I’ve always loved: variety and you can turn down work if you want), meet with a former customer (with lots of contacts in town), and maybe even goof off if I have time.
Looks like my new job is finding a job.
I can do this. I can do this. I can do this. I can do this. I can do this….
YOU CAN DO THIS!!! Find something you like. Call the radio stations in town. You are so good at that. Don’t settle. You have so much to give!!! YOU CAN DO THIS!!!
Just got caught up, sorry.
Think of this as an oppurtunity. This happened to me once I went from making $32,000-$63,000. yes it was a good thing indeed.
Sorry to hear about the former job, bro. I excited about this new season you are entering. You know a lot about marketing. Now it’s time to apply to YOU! Call NPR! You never know what can happen. I’m here if you need to chat.
Will you email me about where to send your burnit CD? Your emails keep bouncing. BTW, sorry to hear ’bout yer job. My husband lost his recently and is moving into a new job soon, so things are definitely looking better in the job market.
Hey I was just thinking, what about the Christian radio stations around there? They could definitely use your experience and your passion for Christ. Just something to think about.
Still thinking about you and hoping everything's doing okay.
Let me know if you get online so we can talk.
