Downsized

There are so many good jokes that come to mind: We aren't picking up your option, you are part of an outplacement program, were movinging in another direction. The main gist of these is the fact that I just lost my job. The rent went up for my location and my company decided that we weren't profitable enough to merit paying more to keep us open. So I sit before you jobless in 2 weeks time with a lovely severence package and a soul full of worry.

"when one door closes another opens"...yes yes I've heard it, it's been a main theme in my life since yesterday, that and "it's for the best", and "you didn't really like that job anyway." My very favorite was "Do you want to go on vacation?" that was from my own dear, sweet Tim upon hearing the news between my tears and gulps for breath.

Overqualified. I've taken my time looking for the "right" job knowing that I had this one which I was good at I had been there for years and I had good benefits with. My biggest fear now is having to find another "in between" job. No one wants a bank teller with a bachelors degree in finance. Cold, cold world here I come.

PS this is a cute picture of Tim and I and his niece to brighten up this sad post.
