desired position: employed

Oh, is it the weekend? I hadn't noticed! My weekend started earlier this week than normal with a bit of a surprise.

I'm calling it 'laid off' on the applications I've been filling out since yesterday afternoon. And really, that description fits perfectly because, well, that's what it was.

I also feel like it was a blessing. I've been holding onto sanity by wee threads and maybe a change in jobs might be an obvious solution?

It took me awhile to decide I even liked the job to begin with, and it took them awhile to decide to even keep me, but once all the decisions were made, I felt like this job was an answer to unanswered prayers. {Do you remember how badly I wanted that designer position?? BAD!} But this job offer came right after that one fell through and I don't think that was a coincidence at all. {do coincidences even exist?}

It was by far the hardest position I've had, and the guys would laugh if they heard that, since I barely carried a slice of the load that they did. But I overcame personal obstacles and I think the most positive thing I'll take away from this experience with P.I.S. {seriously, is there a worse acronym for a business??} is that I can solve any problem if I want to. I'm my biggest weakness and if I focus and think things through there is always a solution.

When I got to work yesterday after class I was going over emails and looking forward to hearing an update on a recent 'gem' {a.k.a. the funny things the bossman does.} This particular gem ended up with some radical changes in the company set up, including getting rid of my part time position in replacement of a full time person who can better help take pressure off everyone. After I got over the shock when Chris told me {dude, so did not see that coming} I could completely agree with him that it was best for everyone. I came home, all the while sorting out my reaction, and landed on relieved. I feel like I've been filling up my time with school and work and homework and everything else I can to stay occupied and there had to be a change somewhere.

I'm looking for something with a little less stress, less hours, less driving. I don't know what it'll be but I'm excited to see what comes of this.

Change, I've learned, is the driving force that keeps my life interesting.
