well it seems to be a biannual October event-- I get laid off. Never mind that I was working my ass of at that company. Never mind that they wouldn't give me one reason as to why they picked me. Now once again, I gutta get up tomorrow, file for unemployment, put my student loans in deferment, update my resume, pick a date as the cut off for when I start packing my stuff to move in with my parents, and start the whole process desperately begging for whatever crappy job I can get. Life is just a series of crap.

What these two said ...you'll probably get a better job and make more money.
I was laid off in March 2004 when I had to take a medical leave of absence. This past March I had to have hand surgery and was approved for time off...then on my last working day, I was told to not come back. No reason, just a "Good luck with your surgery, don't come back" :twisted:
I'm beginning to think that I'm supposed to work until I drop dead at work...literally. I busted my ass for both companies for 5 years each, I can feel your pain.
I have been putting out resumes left and right, no dice. I have to believe that 'things happen for a reason'. Cheezy I know, but a saying I recently read said "When a door closes, we usually don't see the other door open because we are too busy looking at the closed door"
I'm thankful that I have a place to live, and I don't have to live on the streets. I'm especially thankful to the people here who have made this time be a little more bearable.

well that would be nice...I just don't know what I want in a job anymore...I've never really known, but at this point I loathe the fact that I'll have to take whatever job I can find again. Everyone keeps saying I should do something different and new but what??? Like am I suddenly going to become a photographer for National Geographic or something? Most people have boring jobs, I'm one of them! My career is pretty much everything to me, even though I don't really care about it, so it kinda sucks.
boring stuff. I've always worked in consulting. my areas are like energy policy, environmental policy, public economics, stuff like that. Actually what would be good would be to get out energy, and more into environmental stuff, but the jobs always seem to be in electricity policy.
a series of challenges we overcome and learn from and journey on.
A dear friend close to 60 years young found a new career after being laid off periodically. She went back to school and got into a medical field. Perhaps a career change would be what you need.
I say it's time for the career change and don't make excuses for yourself to take the road of least resistance. Do what needs to be done for you to be happy in the long run.
Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
well I don't think I'm going to make a huge career change, because there's nothing I really want to change to. Like I don't have any dream careers of becoming a cupcake baker or anything. Plus my graduate degree cost so much I'll be damned if I don't use it. I just I hope to find a job with a slightly different focus.
