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...
