I Should Start Looking for a New Job

My stomach was so nervous this morning as I sat on the sofa with coffee in hand, news on the television and blogging on the laptop. I felt as though I was having an anxiety attack. I knew someting was wrong, but wasn't sure exactly what. I get to work about 1:30p everything seemed as status quo. There was one thing different all of the higher ups were locked in the conference room. I still didn't see anything wrong at that point. So I carried on as usual since it's Monday before pay day I had to do payroll so I approached my boss to ask about Holiday pay for the part timers. He pulled me to the side and said that I should start looking for another job. He explained that they will be laying off all across the board. I was numb and just went into auto pilot, he wasn't sure when or if it is definite.

My partner of 7 years has been laid off since May and now both of us will be on unemployment. Will we be able to survive? My next thought was my health insurance.

I have been frustrated for along time trying to nuture my own business and maintain a full time job. So the best way for me to handle this is believing


things happen for a reason. I'll keep you posted.

Times are hard...

It's the Saturday before Christmas and still more layoffs or layoff related issues. my cousin text me Thurs. evening to say he was just laid off and Friday is his last day. The Friday before Christmas. And if that wasn't bad enough a former employee at my job who was laid off almost 2 months ago filed for unemployment this past week. After applying the STATE of New York decided that would be a good time to audit him. Which turns out that he owes and has to pay his balance by January 9th.

I don't understand how in this economy why the State of New York would look for payment from someone who has lost their job and looking for assistance. What since does that make? Where do they think the money for payment is going to come from? After paying rent, electric and food there isn't any extra funds.

Let's hope that in 2009 more jobs will be available, which is the brain that my cousin is working out of.
