wait..what???

yeah that's right ladies and gentlemen...the day that i've been pining for has come.

today
i
was
fired.

ummmm...now what do i do?

i've filled out the unemployement claim online. since the offices are closed today they won't get it until tomorrow and that means 10 days from then. correct me if i'm wrong, but that's normal right? so what do i do now? i'll be getting my final check today. not sure if my previous 2 weeks worth of pay will be direct deposit or given to me in a check. i'm pretty sure that i should be getting 10ish hours of PTO which will help a bit. my taxes have been filed and i should be getting those checks direct deposited soon. that'll be very helpful. that just means that i wont be able to use that money the way i really want to use it. i will, however, spend some of it on me.

so at this point...i'm stuck. i will not get depressed. i will do something about this. today i have sent out applications/resumes to a few places, and found some stuff on craigslist that looks promising. i have an application that i need to send to scharffen berger chocolates. i want to hand that to the person in charge versus faxing or e-mailing it. i'm going to send my current resume to the school and see if there's anything there for me. i dont even know if the same person is in charge that was there before. everything is so up in the air right now...**sigh** but i will not let it get to me.

today starts a new day...and a new life. maybe i'll bake something.

So is an “oh shit this sucks” or a virtual high-five situation?

[identity profile] sylvan.livejournal.com 2007-02-13 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
It's a little of both, I think. Don't worry though, while I'm here I'll keep her happy! :D

You had better, or you'll be answering to ME.

Are you going to make it out to the King of Clubs Thursday?

[identity profile] sausage-boy.livejournal.com 2007-02-15 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
First time hearing about this club. Is it in the bay area?

[identity profile] sylvan.livejournal.com 2007-02-15 04:11 am (UTC)(link)

Probably not- I have a prior activity to get me hot and sweaty (the gym). Wait- are you back in the area??

[identity profile] sylvan.livejournal.com 2007-02-16 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
I am visiting and we will be there all night! I'm only in town for a few days and this was a nice way to see a lot of people. If you show I promise to be very good well behaved. No caddish behavior at all! I would love to see you!

well...since i'm kinda indifferent about it...it's more like a crap...what do i do now sort of thing. it's been brewing for a while now, and i was just holding on until they actually said the words. it wasn't like a donald trump sort of thing, but **shrugs** we'll see what happens next.

we're gonna need to starcrax one day.

How 'bout next week. My treat!

Baking always helps!

Best of luck to you, hon. *hugs*

[identity profile] lokiz-mom.livejournal.com 2007-02-13 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
i would have to agree. this is honestly nothing a little truffle making wouldn't fix. or perhaps i can find a use for all those apples my sister had left after the birthday party?

[identity profile] ladycrim.livejournal.com 2007-02-13 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Apple pie? Cobbler? Something else I haven't thought of?

[identity profile] lokiz-mom.livejournal.com 2007-02-13 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
i was thinking of a tart. we'll see what happens. i just know that i need to be doing something instead of sitting in my bed feeling sorry for myself. i'm off to shower and get my life together.

Sorry you're in this position but I hope you find something better soon!

[identity profile] lokiz-mom.livejournal.com 2007-02-13 08:14 am (UTC)(link)
yeah me too. **sigh** maybe i'll get something out of them, but i highly doubt it.

Holy Carp Load Buttman!

I NEED TRUFFLES! GIVE THEM TO ME NOOOOOWW!! And a nice apple tart tatin would ROCK... but that's just me.

Congrats and I am sorry that you had to deal with the bull carp for so long. Now you will be able to focus your energies on something far greater! If you need anything , just let me know. I am always available for taste testing anything you make as well as a shoulder to lean on and a hug (or a thousand) to give. Love you girlie!

well there's always the trip to disneyland that i can't afford. i'm really sorry about that. it was just so last minute that they decided they didn't need me anymore. eh. i think today after i get back from scharffen berger i'll get some chocolate and make truffles.
