Great - I'm Laid Off.
So ladies - it's been a hell of an end of the week.
Yesterday I knew that our big wig boss was coming down to the studio from downtown and I thought that it was going to be one of those "Hey look! I can hang out with the studio people once in a while!" free lunch kind of days.
Well, he did show up and he basically told me that my job is being relocated to Miami and if I want to keep my job, I have to move with it. Well, that aint gonna happen.
So basically I am on the job hunt. I have to at least give it to my company that I am still employed until January, I can use any free time at work to look for work or go on interviews, and they are even offering me Fridays off to schedule interviews and such.
(Long rant about what a bummer it is to have to find a new job) Grrrrrr........
We are trying to look at this in a positive light and are starting our search close to the house so that maybe I can find a position here in our small town and I can get rid of that crappy commute into Orlando every day and get Harper into a local daycare, so she wont spend 3 hours in the car everyday. That would be nice.
Lucky for me I updated my resume a while back and it was still in pretty good shape. I just sent it out to all of my friends and told them to pass it on anywhere they thought I might be good at. And we did find one really good lead at a local community college that is just 10 minutes from here. From the ad it sounded like they are hiring people to start up a station or expand the one they have on campus. I finished the online application this morning - so I guess seeing that I already found a good lead and got a resume out in less than 24 hours I should be at least a little hopeful.
I got 5 months to find something and the clock starts now....
