girlscout is suddenly on the dole!!!

[Guest guest]

So I went to an appt with my T, my car broke down on the way - that became

like a 3 hour ordeal. Finally got back and I was laid off.

Our company is in trouble and I wasn't busy. I wasn't busy because waif boss

wouldn't assign me any work and assigned it all to depressed coworker.

WHATEVER!!!

Unemployment is looking pretty sweet while I do my GRE prep.

That said - FIVE YEARS

Nights, weekends, early mornings, weird hours, weird projects, you name it.

What fuckers.

Boyfriend said I should head over to the Occupy camp downtown tomorrow. HA

((hugs!)) Well, on the bright side you won't have to deal with waify nutty

boss anymore? And you get unemployment while you focus on your GRE?

Still, being unemployed does suck no matter what plans you already had in

place, so my cats are purring good thoughts your way.

Well, although you weren't expecting that turn of events, getting laid off

definitely solves the " crazy boss " issue. So if you're eligible for

unemployment for a while, that's not such a bad deal. I'm betting you'll turn

up another job before too long, to tide you over until grad school funding kicks

in.

Best of luck!

Thanks guys, I'm ok. I'm trying not to scapegoat waif boss individually -

but really - I brought a lot more to that company than she did.

Dysfunctional system, I say adieu. .

Sorry to hear that Girlscout. That sucks.

I'm glad to hear you've got other things going on (What are you going to grad

school for? I'm just about to start my GRE prep and grad school search myself)

and a supportive boyfriend. With skills like yours, you'll find something new to

occupy your talents for sure.

Lots of good thoughts heading your way

Hey sweets, thank you, so I am applying to MS programs in Family Therapy.

And I want to continue onto my PhD. But finding out today that I have 26

weeks of unemployment - well - here are the ideas on the table:

1) Write a book with 26 chapters

2) Blog/social media (anonymous) called 26 weeks, day by day my quest for

self actualization while on the dole

3) I want to get a bit more ripped and pick up a bunch of dance teaching

gigs

4) Of course, job number one is grad school and owning that GRE

5) I also have been planning to start a free lance biz hoping to gradually

leave my lame, unispiring job, but maybe I will

But I really like the 26 weeks book/blog thing. I mean, i really really like

it

Holy Cow! You are always full of surprises!

I'm sorry your income has changed, but think you were too good for the place

anyway. Hope you enjoy your time off before you land on your feet--I know you

will :-)

That sounds awesome! I love the idea of using your new free time for yourself

It would be a great way to keep track of your successes and further motivate

you! Glad to hear you're taking this and running with it! Sound like you're

going to do some awesome things!

I'm new here, been lurking for a few days to get oriented to the discussion. I

just wanted to say " hang in there! " regarding your new status. From your

posts, it's clear you're grounded and ready for the next big adventure! Then I

found myself thinking, " Oh no, what about waif boss? She must be spinning and

creating some serious drama right about now! " Yes, I am a KO.

Love you guys! Thanks for the support. There really is absolutely no reason

why I haven't written a book yet - I always knew I would write one. . . that

was what I wanted when i was a kid. why not now? 26 weeks, and 26 chapters.

Eh waif boss - her drama is that she is acting like she's the victim, like

its her loss. And she has also texted me a bunch today saying she missed me.

We joked around that it was a stupid client's fault, and wished a bunch of

imaginary ills on them. But, really, I think it is her fault. I know someone

had to go but she could have stood up for me after five fucking years. She

didn't. I'm sure she is crying to everyone about it nonstop. Meanwhile, I'm

starting a whole new life. . .

So I'm working on my blog/book, I didn't do much on the GRE today, but I'm

going to work my ass off at simplifying our lives and our household. I think

that (because I'm an awesome cook), if I join a food coop that offers low

price produce, I can get our food bill way down. And then we are just going

to cut back on a bunch of stuff. I;ve always been too busy to bargain shop

and coupon clip and etc etc, but the fact is, I'm quite crafty with things

like that because of my childhood spent raising nada. i'm gonna try to ride

this out ha ha ha This is the first time in my LIFE I ever thought this way

- I've always been such a giver. Right now I wanna take! I got on the dole

already. The weird thing is, I have partnered with workforce services about

1,000 times as a professional and I have 2 good friends who work there. Now

I'm on the other side, and I " m in really good company over here.

I'll post my blog as soon as it is up. I would appreciate as many follows

and shares and stuff as possible. Thanks guys, I'm kinda energized - maybe

because I walked my dogs this afternoon and made a really nice and

inexpensive meal for my fam.
