A Bend in the Road It has been a long time since I was here. I just read the last post, where my job allowed me to meet a musician I have always admired. I was fired from that job on December 14, right before Christmas. I had an altercation with a co-worker, and I was the low man on the totem pole, so she just got a documented coaching and I got termed. It has been a huge blow for me because I really loved my job, and I was very good at it. I had been with the company for 10 years, but only in that department/job for 10 months.
So the last month has been a blur of online applications and interviews. I got a position I am not really excited about, but decided a bird in the hand...I don't start that job until 1/21, however, so if one of the other jobs that I think I have a good chance for comes through, I will take that instead.
Financially, I will be OK, but not great. My job was fun, hard work, exciting, and paid well. I also signed a non-compete contract when I took the job, so I can't work in the industry for 6 months. I don't know if I will even want to go back when that time comes.
I miss my job, my friends, a structured life. I know that so many people have it worse than I do, so I try to not whine too much. But, just when the rest of my life seemed to be going well, the bottom drops out.
I will try to update more frequently. Hopefully next time I will have a good job...
