777 is usually a very lucky number, not so much for me. When the stock market plummeted 777 points on Monday of last week it left me with anything but a jackpot.
Tuesday morning I went into work as usual and sat at my desk. I checked email and phone messages as I always do. About ten minutes after I arrived my boss got there. He came in to my office and had a bit of an edge about him. He sat down and said that he had to talk to me and be completely honest with me. He said that the business was struggling and that he was going to have to lay me off.
He assured me that it was not something he wanted to do but had to do. I understood and was grateful for his honesty. I had many thoughts and many emotions but none were negative.
Today, several days later, I am hopeful for the future but still very uncertain about what to do. I have a job interview on Monday and have sent out several applications. I have little doubt about my abilities to find a job I just don't know what avenues to pursue. One side of me wants to find a 9-5 job that intrigues me and allows me to use my talents and abilities. Another side of me wants to find a third shift position that would allow me to be home during the day with Davis and ease childcare burdens, but am afraid the such a position would require me to move backwards in my employment history.
