#an unemployed one
Coffee shop. I need to go get a coffee.
Then I’m gonna read or write a bit while I enjoy my coffee.
Then I’ve got yard work to do.
Then I’ve got jobs to apply to.
Then I have to call my big sister, because with everything else I may have forgotten to tell her I lost my job.
*sigh* the downsides of a big family.
So, yeah. Lost my job. Will update later, I suppose. But pray for me please.
God, I need to tell my family.
Well, mom freaked out. More in a “I’m upset for you” kind of way than a “I’m disappointed in you” kind of way.
Dad was… remarkably chill about it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The last person who Needs To Be Informed is my sister. I’m just gonna wait until she gets home.
Until then, snacks and a hard cider while I job search.
What kills me is that I got like, a hundred little signs from the universe, and none from my bosses, that this was coming.
I mean, today I…
- Lost my fidget ring
- Left my earbuds at home
- Hit weird not-exactly-traffic and arrived late despite leaving 10 minutes early this morning.
- The building’s HVAC was broke, and every door I tried to open was pressurized against me.
- The first two elevators I tried to use didn’t work.
- I woke up too early and with the certainty that something bad was going to happen.
On the other hand, my bosses’ bosses gave me no warning, no probation, no chance to improve or explain. This was so out of left field that the woman I reported to directly was blindsided.
The work I do is good. I know that. But my medication issues this last month made every task take me twice as long and attorneys are at-will employees. I understand why this happened, but it doesn’t make it easier to accept.
So, yeah. Lost my job. Will update later, I suppose. But pray for me please.
Rainy day. Unemployed. Already sent out more applications.
So I shall clean my desk so that I may write in peace.
And I shall organize my office so that I can paint to my heart’s content.
And I shall go to Michael’s cuz mom has offered to reimburse me for craft paint if I touch up some of her garden pavers. :D
I’m less than a week in, so I’m still more worried about filling up my days than being unemployed.
Finally finished wrapping up the ink-stained yarn. I did not clean the ink as well as I initially thought, but it’s still massively faded compared to what it was. Hopefully, when it’s time for blocking, the remaining ink will wash out.
With that, a good chunk of my desk has been uncovered. I’m going to take a little break to work on an art project, then back to cleaning.
Screw it. I’m going to Michael’s. Craft paint does not keep as well as artist paints, so I need to grab some for myself as well as for my mom’s project.
I got. So many little craft paints. (FYI, there’s a Michael’s coupon for 20% off every regularly priced item until the 25th.)
I can’t work on mom’s project since I forgot the paver at the farm. So instead I worked on mine. I got a set of desk organizer boxes at target a few weeks ago, and decided they looked too bland. Now?
Tada! Now they match the decor.
That and making dinner (and job searching, don’t worry) has been most of my evening. I will spend the rest of my night playing switch and knitting.
