Changes!!!!

Well, today was a pain in the ass. I got laid off from my job today. Some of already had an idea it was coming. I love how they tell you, you did absolutely nothing wrong, it's just the economy. Yeah... I know... and I knew it was coming eventually, they are laying off more next week too. So everyone is stressing and when I got laid off people who know me really started stressing. because I was good at my job. But it's time to move on and I was already looking for other jobs. It's hard to work for a company that is starting to treat even it's best customers wrong. But then the credit card industry isn't an easy one, allot goes on and before long you don't want anything to do with cards because you see how they try to suck people in and how even well paying cardmembers. I stayed because it was convenient that was about it. But I am ok with it, I didn't shed any tears, I actually felt relieved like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. My card readings are good, they warned of change and not clinging to things that are no longer working. I am ready for a change. I applied for unemployment and checked out some jobs online. I have a great resume lots of experience so even with a failing economy I feel confident we will be fine. When something that happens that is totally beyond your control then it's time for a change. I will probably have a job before my 1st unemployment check is cut or government assistance is approved. As long as they don't mess up my last check I should be fine. By the way, because of the economy there are no severence packages. Nice huh! Thanks for all your hard work, now get the fuck out! So much for the wonderful world of American Express! But then the customers already are finding this out.

Oh well, I am off to bed, tomorrow is Nancy's actual birthday and we are still having cake and a nice dinner and movies to watch after. I have to babysit Chloe and Hannah tomorrow. Sparky has other plans and I promised.

Hugs,
Maria
