What now?

Where do I start? For those of you that don't know, one of my trends this year has been going to concerts. I went to a concert on Wednesday night for one of my favorite country artists, Chuck Wicks. So, I was out until about 3am that night and had to work on Thursday morning.

I went to work on Thursday morning with only 3 hours of sleep that night because I promised my boss that I would be there. I walk in the door and my boss is standing there and I told her (very cheerfully) that I'm tired, but I'm here. The only words out of her mouth are, "You're tired?" I said, "Yep! But I'm here!" The next thing she said was, "Jerry wants to see you in the training room."

For those of you that have been reading my blog, there was a rough spot a few months ago with me being critisized for every little thing I did at work and I felt like there was just something they wanted to find on me so they could get rid of me.

Well, I go to the training room and Jerry instructs me to go to his boss's (Dan) office and have a seat. I'm very confused at this point. I keep thinking...why am I talking to Dan? So, Dan starts telling me that he has a letter that he needs to read to me from our CEO/President. Dan starts reading the letter and basically tells me there is a group of people that they are letting go because they have to downsize.

Then I get escorted back into the training room where there is a group of about 10 people. All 10 of us have just gotten fired! What's up with this? At first I was kind of relieved that they didn't just find something on me and they were firing me. I later find out there are firing 21 people. I did get a descent severence package, but how is that going to help? What am I going to do? I need a job and unemployment rates have skyrocketed! I don't get it, but now it's just something else that I have to hand over to God and let him handle. Hopefully something is out there for me, but what?

Where do I go from here?
