Another job hunt?

God Damn it! So I had a meeting with my boss two weeks ago to discuss my performance. There were a fewthings we needed to talk about but all in all it seemd ok. His last words to me were “Don’t worry about your job, you’re doing fine”

Right. That explains why I got laid off today. I told them that taking the designer who provided me with 80% of my work and transferring her downtown was going to leave me with lots of time on my hands, they said it was ok, the other designer would be getting more work.

FUCK!!!

I’m going to call my landlord who is a nice little old lady on the East Coast and see if she will let me postpone a months rent.

I SO do not want to be looking for work! ARGH!!!

Sorry, dude. That really sucks. Hopefully you’ll find a better job, and look back at this as a good thing.

I’m sure it made sense in context, but if my boss told me “don’t worry about your job”, I would immediately start worrying about my job.

Yeah, 20/20 hindsight and all that, it’s clear now but it still doesn’t help:(

I hate looking for work, I hate rewriting my resume, I feel like I need to get the hell out of this Industry (Kitchen and Bath Design)

Yowch, I just got out of the job hunt (well sorta, I would take “Assistant in Charge of Being Kicked in the Nuts” over my current job). And I would not wish that on anyone, ever, especially not in the current market.

I am sorry to hear of your misfortune. Wishing you luck and a speedy hunt.

I’ll keep my ears open, Mike.

That’s right where I am, too. I got awfully sick of looking for work the last time I was unemployed, then I had a crappy job for 20 months, and here I am looking again. You’d think I’d get used to being chronically underemployed, but you just don’t, ya know? On the plus side (hopefully), I just got a six-month contract with a local big business. It could go full-time, but will be at least six months that I don’t have to worry about looking for work.
