Bad News/ New Opportunity?

Well this is a bit delayed but about a month ago a got news that myself and (44 others) are being laid off at work and that it will be sometime between Aug. 2 and Dec. 1. So of course my first reaction is panic and fear. I was just devastated and so many thoughts and emotions came to the surface.

First I only took the job for my family because the children needed a stable home life and Flight for Life couldn't offer that. Second, when we moved to Oregon (which was to get help with the kids and because Danny lost our home) I worked from home and did not bother to get my reciprocity for my EMT out here. So I feel stupid that I let myself get into this position. I lost my family and now my job!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME...........

So After lots of meditation, I have come to the realization that this is a good thing. This is the final part of a life that was very bad for me(I will blog about my marriage and divorce later), and I have come to terms that I am okay with losing my job.

So I am now looking for a new job, I have interviewed with two companies and am waiting to hear from them. One will still be working from home and the other is in Seattle, so that will require me to move.

On a side note, I have a meeting with the HR dept. tomorrow to find out what my Severance Package is and if I still have a job after tomorrow. Part of me just hopes that tomorrow I will be laid off so the work drama will be over!!

Hey girl. Keep your chin up. Better things are ahead - you have certainly paid your dues.
