I took today off from work; felt good to be away from the chaos ( Read more... ) -
new job!!!
To my relief; I have a new job!!! As I type I am so tired, so relieved. I still feel a bit of disbelief. I accepted a graphic design position within the marketing department at The Dispatch. I will start on April 2. I decided to stick it out at the plant and help out the best I can; so many people have left since the layoff. It is so nice to still ( Read more... ) -
2 year anniversary : )
Today is Lee & my 2 year anniversary! The two have gone so fast; hard to believe we'll be married soon!!:D It's definitely getting down to a count down. He surprised me with a lovely card and an gorgeous live orchid plant. I hope I can keep the orchid living and blooming as beautiful as it looks now!

sleepy
I have slept like crap lately. Since the layoff I've done a lot of inner-searching/digging on myself. I'm really finding out I need to boost my confidence/assertiveness to really make it in this world. Something ain't happening and I need to fix it. Lee brings something up that hit home when we were falling asleep. I started crying, then I couldn't ( Read more... ) -
it's been a while
I guess I've avoided coming here lately. I don't want to appear pouty and full of nothing but complaints. I can't even tell you how hard these last few months have been. I've been doing a lot of interviewing, and trying to figure out where I belong in this world. I'm having trouble finding a nitch. I've been in newspaper so long now that I feel ( Read more... ) -
head up
It's been a trying month since news of the layoff. I've felt low these last few days. I've submitted my resume to several companies and haven't heard a peep. I need to work on my patience. I've felt depressed and trying to keep my motivation has been extremely difficult. This sore throat keeps lingering but I keep taking zinc in hopes of getting ( Read more... ) -
f*cked up
I felt so yuck all day at work. It felt as if I had been dumped; in a big big way. Like I still had to work around the guy and do work for him. We all have lost our motivation at the Dispatch. The job basket never really went down. I would pick an ad up and try my hardest but my heart was not in it. I think I would rather be laid off and told to ( Read more... ) -
oy
So yea, I got laid off today. It came as a half-shock if that makes sense. I have been expecting something since they moved us to "the plant" or what I fondly say "the borg collective". It was inevitable. Sales had been down and the goals were never reached. I'm sure we all made alright money; but outsourcing to India is cheaper (evidently). I am ( Read more... ) -
tired
I'm on my laptop; Lee is on his. He's downstairs looking at possible honeymoon destinations; either way its gonna be tropical and I can't wait! St. Lucia? Belize? Dominica? :D ( Read more... )
