For those who haven’t heard yet, I lost my job yesterday. My former bank just wasn’t making enough deals. I had been getting a full forty (40) hours, while I watched the other temps get a day here and there, some even every other week. I knew I had been lucky.
My immediate response was to update my résumé, but I didn’t have focus to do so. I will get it done at some point this weekend, so that I can get a jump on the week. I can’t afford to take a break. I just was not prepared for this.
Time to dust off my old contacts. Missed a great networking opportunity, being asked to speak at an event which I forgot to RSVP for. I will hit the next one. Hopefully, I will be invited to speak again. I think it will be good for my personal growth as well.
I think the worst part of all of this will be telling my son that I am out of work again. I was looking forward to Christmas this year and spoiling him a bit more than usual. He deserves it! I will have to postpone it.
I would like to toast the future. Whatever it may be, I am looking towards it.
