Day four of my unemployment.

Well I have to say that it sucks being unemployed. Luckily I do have some freelance work that I do but not having a guaranteed source of income and not to mention the benefits really sucks. I can keep my insurance coverage though COBRA I guess, I just haven’t thought about it.

I am hoping that today or this week I will hear something back on some of the jobs I applied for. One company contacted me to file new hire paper work, I just hope I hear back from them quickly. I am eager to start training and getting some steady work in again.

I keep thinking that I should have done more to promote my blogs to generate more income though Google AdSense. I could spend all day doing the “could have, would have, should have” dance. The sad part is I was assured by my boss that we were all safe and that we would not be losing our jobs. How sad is that?! Then just a month later only about 5 of 42 get to keep their jobs.

I always knew that having a JOB was never really secure, that the only true source of security is owning your own business, and up until the last 2-3 years I have always ran my own home based business. In today’s day in age you always need a backup.

This job loss could not have come at a worst time in my life. It’s the 5th anniversary of my youngest son death, some kid stole my son’s brand new ripboard that I just paid $80+ for, and yesterday I find out that my Grandparents home burnt down for the second time. I looked at the pictures of their home burnt down and I can remember going in the kitchen door and looking for my Grandparents and all the memories that came with it.

Cest la Vie … Life must go on.
