Good news, bad news...

Well, The good news is that I will have a little more time on my hands to get things done that I have wanted to. On the other hand, the bad news might outweigh the good this time...

I have now joined the ranks of the unemployed. I am hoping it's not for too long, of course. As most know, I was the bread winner in the family till Preston got out of school... at least that was the plan. I am not really sure what the plan is now. I haven't had much time to soak in everything. I will be busy today working up a new budget plan, filling out unemployment papers, revising my resume, and hunting for any new possibilities!

If anyone knows of any prospects out there I would appreciate the help. I know that there are so many out there looking so who knows in this day and age what will happen.

I must say that I have already seen the hand of the Lord in the way things have worked out, and I know that he is still watching over us. As long as we keep doing what we are supposed to he will bless us as he has been. Just breathe...

Uh Oh...

I just have to get something off my chest…

I just need to take a moment to say that I am really grateful for my job. I really just love it and hope that this economy will just turn around. I go home at least once a week now with some sort of panic attack because someone else was let go. We don’t have a lot of work right now and it’s scary. I am really nervous about the next year, and if things don’t turn around, I can’t see them keeping me around much longer.

One of the people at work asked the chief what was said in meetings and he just said that they talk about letting an estimator go, but whom and when is unknown… Guess who the low man on the totem pole with only a year and 5 months under her belt!? Yeah… They do stick with seniority here… most of the time. There are a few things that have happened that are in my favor, but I don’t know if it’s enough!

It’s a VERY harsh reality to be faced with when I have actually had to grow up and become an adult. With the bills, etc that we have, it would be necessary to sign up for a very scary thing! Unemployment! I haven’t ever had to do that before in the long time I have been in the work force (jk… really), so it scares me. I have also always thought that having to depend on such a program would be the end of my life as I know it! Well, I guess we will see what comes. Come what may… The Lord is on my side… I just have to keep faith… That’s what I keep telling myself, or Preston does actually.

For now, I just thank my Heavenly Father that I am employed for one more day.

Okay I am done now…
