Wait, what, you lost your job? When did that happen? You ok, bro? I know about the leg, but I didn't know about the job.
Yeah, that's new. I'm doing ok - one day at a time.
I was a contract employee, and my contract was set to expire on March 3, so I figured I'd talk to my Manager and ask if my contract was going to be renewed - since the project is set to be ongoing into 2017. I was told it was not, as the SVP's wanted everybody to downsize their departments. Sadly, that seems to mean only me, as there are still two other Consultants who are still working there. It's ---smurfy---, and I just put in my last timesheet on Friday, but it is what it is. Thankfully, my Wife makes enough for the both of us for now. We're doing ok.
I've been working ---my bottom--- off on getting my website up and running, and will be launching in the next day or so. (Surprise!) I have all of my products (not my CNC stuff, but everything else) ready and up, and am working on the payment gateways now. So, hopefully, there's a silver lining coming.
In the interim, I spend a couple hours a day applying for jobs - the Internet has really destroyed that whole process. I can apply (and have!) for hundreds of jobs every single day - supply my resume and put in a great cover letter - and be ignored by hundreds of companies en masse. (Seriously - I've got the skills for every job I apply for, but there's just so many applicants, I'm lucky to have received three replies...)
I'm doing the best with what I've got right now. My Wife and kids have been waiting on me hand and foot, pretty much. I'm lucky that way.
