As of Monday November 9th at 9am I was on the unemployment line. Let me tell you it is a crappy feeling waking up each day knowing you have no job to go to.
What scares me most is that our benefits were thru my former employer and they will end at the end of November. Being without healthcare is scary especially with three kids.
I guess what I am most annoyed about is my former employer did not give me a reason as to why they were letting me go. I am assuming cost cuts because my department/area was not doing well at all but it would have been nice for them to tell me. Also they did not lay me off so no severance for me. No severance = no pay.
I am now scrambling to find a job so that I can start to make some money in order to pay the bills. I am trying not to really let the kids know what is going on because I do not want them to worry. Melinda and I are doing enough of that for the whole family. Sabreena is 13 so she knows what is going on and Shaun knows I am looking for a job because I am home every morning when I typically wouldn’t be but that is about all he knows.
So right now life SUCKS! It is hard and I am stresses and worried. I feel like a failure and like I let my family down because we are in this situation. I will keep everyone updated on my progress. Please pray that I find a job soon or maybe hit the lottery. LOL. Guess I need to start playing the lottery in order to win.
