Life happens

Its been forever since I have posted...I just havent been feeling like it but now I have lots of time to post...why do I have lots of time you may ask....I got laid off :( :(.
I got my Masters in May and was totally unhappy with my job and wanted out. 2 months later I transfered departments and found my dream job. For the past 7 months I have loved my job, loved my schedule, loved the staff, everything. I was so happy that I switched departments. Well we got an email on Friday the 13th letting us know that due to the lovely state budget our program had lost 75% of its funding as of March 1st. I was with the agency for 7 years so I was hoping that I would be saved...but I wasnt. They counted my time with the program.....7 months...and did not count my time with the agency. The thing I am most sick about is I lost all my sick time which was 350 hours. I was soooo sad and still am. So today was my first day of officially not having a job. We are officially poor so we cut the cable etc. I attempted to watch some TV today, with all my many choices of TV channels (ya right), and there was nothing but crap on!! I guess that is a good thing because I actually did the dishes and some laundry and went out to lunch with my parents. We shall see how this jobless things goes...fun times!!

I know I already told you sorry, but I'm saying it again. Been there and it's not fun. I can't believe they didn't look at your long term instead of the 7 months. Dang it. So not fair.

Oh that is such a bummer and I would be so upset about the sick time but I guess it doesn't do any good to be mad about it.
I am sorry.
