sometimes life gives you lemons....

I've been noticeably absent from here and from my regular posting over at NEI...

Its been a rough few days. Since Wednesday. Sigh.

Wednesday afternoon I was laid off at my full time job. Nothing hurts like it. Its like a bad breakup that no one saw coming. Like being punched in the stomach.

So here I am. 5:06 on a Monday afternoon sitting on my couch, the same place I was at 10:06am...

I know I'm lucky I have my part-time to fall back on. And I know that for the last few weeks all anyone has heard to talk about is how much I wanted to find a new full time. But its totally different when its not on your terms. Today was the first day I truly realized that I'm not going back there...that the job I put in hours upon hours in to and was loyal to for almost 3 years doesn't want or need me anymore (told you like it was like a bad breakup.)...

...I was supposed to update my resume today, but it didn't happen, I'll get there.

I guess this is what, for the time being, this blog will be about....my continuing job search...which I know isn't the best reading, but its all that is really relevant in my life these days....

guess I'll just make some lemonade...
