happyevraftrOh man you guys, I've had the craziest past two days ever.
If ya'll remember, my evil co-worker of doom has been making me collect all my data from the past two months and put it all in one place because of a "database". Well he def lied about there being a database. Turns out the stupid small business didn't actually think things through and looking through next years budget they couldn't really afford my position so they let me go- terminated the whole position. So I cried for the whole drive home and then got so pissed off- I don't understand why businesses hire ppl just to lay them off a couple months later. One of my other co-workers said that's happened to him three times in the past year. So stupid and frustrating!!
In happy news, there's a job open at the college in the town I live in (I commuted 45 min to work everyday) as an admissions assistant. The requirements for the job included good oral presentation skills and data entry. I would be doing phone calls, data entry and most importantly- giving presentations to high school kids. I love giving presentations and working with kids comes easy to me and I'm certainly qualified for the job- i was on the college's speech and debate team plus i did work study using the colleges databases, plus I'm an alumni of the place. So I have my application ready to go and I'm going to take it this afternoon.
Also found out that the unemployment agency is going to just reactivate my old claim so I don't have to do any of the paperwork and I should get the support from them starting next week. That's a huge relief considering we couldn't pay bills even when I was working. I'm trying to see this entire situation as a blessing in disguise cus I really and truly hated working at the old place and with the evil coworker of doom.
Not to mention after two days of working 12 hour days (reg job and dance) it felt AMAZING to sleep in today. I was getting so annoyed with being tired all the time.
