I'll just cut to the chase. I got called by the staffing agency today and told I wasn't living up to my job's expectations. There was a rumor at work that six people were going to be let go today, which is ironic considering they just hired six new people. After two weeks of the crap hitting the fan, they are not happy with my production level. It's depressing that after all the work I've done, all the records I've gotten in, they decided to let me go. I'm not going to lie and say I worked my butt off, but I feel I put in a full day's worth of work. I stressed over trying to keep them happy and working hard. I was always trying to stay on task, I tried not to talk too much to my coworkers when I wasn't on break or lunch. In fact there's a chatty Cathy at work, and if I'm not careful, she'd drag me into a 20 minute conversation. Now that I think about it, my three month contract is up tomorrow. I guess I can look at it as my contract not being renewed rather than they're firing me. Not that it makes the situation any better. I can pick up my paycheck and "stuff" (which consists of snacks and some lotion) at the temp agency when I drop off my badge. I'll also have to see if the temp agency has anything that I'll be willing to do.
On the bright side, I'll now have time to get caught up in all the readings I haven't been doing for my classes. I'm not even going to mention how far behind I am on my readings! I'll also get to sleep in now, instead of waking up at 5:00am every morning. That's about it for the bright side of things.
On the downside, I'll now have to begin the job hunting process all over again. I'll have to figure out how to make ends meet once again. I have to decide if I want to try to get on unemployment again. So many frustrating things to deal with, and I don't wanna do it.
Technically school ends the first or second week of May, but for me everything is due at the end of April. This means I have 3 weeks to work on four different assignments that will all be time consuming. I have to find the energy and will power to focus on school work. I have a hard time reading a chapter every couple of days, much less getting all the reading done I need to for my classes in the next couple of weeks. So the next couple of weeks will be an adventure.
I've already signed up for my summer and fall classes. I'm on my way to getting my first year of school done. By the end of April I will only have 5 more semesters to go. I'm trying to put this in a positive light so I don't stress out over how much school I still have to go.
So feel free to share job opportunities or happy moments, I think I'll be needing them.
