So I was unemployed for almost 3 weeks. I now work for a global financial company in downtown and to say I love it is SUCH an understatement. I love the people, the location, the office, the WORK even. I was very upset when I was let go from the attorney's office but I am SO thankful to be out of there. The weeks leading up to my unemployment were filled with anxiety, stress, and frustration at that office. I had made the decision that week to start looking for another job because I just felt like it wasn't a good fit. FOUR days after that decision I was unemployed. OOPS! "Be careful what you wish for" seems appropriate.
ON TOP of the unemployment thing I was working hard to get the house ready and plans set for The Husband's big 3-0 Birthday Shenanigans! So I went head on into those plans so I didn't freak out lol. The party was a huge success - we had at LEAST 50 people show up...probably more throughout the night. I will recap that later on but just wanted to kind of set up the happenings in our little slice of Heaven.
Basically we have been non-stop since the week I was let go. Remember how great I said I was feeling after I left my long time job? Yeah I'm back to that happy feeling again. I don't feel stressed when I leave work on Fridays and I don't hate myself on my drive to work on Mondays. Life is good! I can't wait to share more of what's been going on - including a tour of the craft room!!! FINALLY I know! =)
I'll leave you with a picture of the shenanigans from the Husband's party
Yay! I'm glad you are doing well!!!! :)

I had almost the exact same thing happen with my last job. I had experience though, they wanted someone with less experience so they could pay them $3 less an hour. I was full of anxiety there too. Only thing is i haven't found a job yet, i live in a town of only 13000 so it is hard.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are liking the new job though :) that is always a bonus!!
So glad to hear that you are happier at your new job! :)
ReplyDeleteI studied Criminology in college with anticipation of continuing on to law school...once I did my intership at a Crim Law/Family Law office, I was completely turned off and hated everything about practicing law. I was hired in that same office upon graduation and was let go 3 months later because they were so slow. I never looked back. Attorneys are, by and away, THE hardest people to work for (in my opinion)...I have never regretted not going to back to a law office!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new job..it's such an AMAZING difference in your soul when you find somewhere you love going! :)
