The Reveal

A while back, I wrote about a curve ball that came out of left field and knocked me on my ass.  For a variety of reasons, I haven't been able to talk about it openly until now.  The company I work for is getting re-structured which means I'm losing my full time position and going back to being a part time contractor.  Cue dramatic reveal music and shocked face!

 

One of the hardships of being new to the industry is trying to get yourself established.  It's been great working with The Finer Details as I've had opportunities to take on a more hand-on role which may not have happened at a larger company.  I've learned so much and feel ready for a new challenge.  I'm not feeling shocked or upset anymore - now I'm feeling excited (when I don't think about the bills that will pile up if I don't get hired!) and ready to jump into a new role.  First thing is first though...I need to get hired somewhere!  Sending out resumes and going on interviews isn't always the most pleasant experience so if anyone has any leads, feel free to send them my way =)

I guess the only thing left to say at this point is look out world, cause here I come again!

Curve Balls

Sometimes the higher ups (like God, Fate, or whatever higher power you believe in) feel the need to shake things up.  Usually this happens just as everything in your life is falling into place.  Honestly...who wants everything to work out perfectly all the time?  Oh that's right...we ALL do!  So it comes as no surprise that I got a bombshell dropped on me this week that changes everything I had planned for the next year.  While I'm not quite ready to divulge the latest life altering moment at this time, I do feel as though I might just spontaneously combust from the stress if I don't let some of it out.

There's the usual cliches that can be applied to such situations like "when a door closes, another one opens" but I'm not really in the frame of mind to see it that way yet.  With the news still so fresh and my brain having difficulties processing it, the immediate reactions are shock, panic, and anger.  Give me until after the long weekend and I'm sure I'll have a better outlook on the situation. All I can say at this point is thank goodness it's after 5 because I need a drink!

Happy long weekend everyone =)
