Falling into place

[beck]

Amongst everything else going on in my life, I am officially jobless. They gave me my walking papers Tues and thankfully a decent severance package. It feels weird not having a job but I had already mentally prepared myself on me being the next one to go. I'm curious to see how many more they laid off on Wed. My company has been dropping ppl left and right and it was only a matter of time before the print room got picked since they "don't need 2nd shift anymore." I don't see the company pulling themselves out of this hole, not even in the next two yrs.

The HR lady told me that there was a piece of paper in my folder that had a contact info to see where else in the company they are hiring in. They gotta be fucking crazy! Why in the HELL would I want to REMOTELY TRY and apply for something with them again if they are still laying ppl off in EVERY DEPT!!!??

Kinda freaky on this thought but I had it planned, if I were still at work Wed night, I was already going to clean out my file cabinet just in case when I got back from vacation, they dropped the bomb on me and I wouldn't be fucked over by having the bike instead of the car and not being able to fit my crap in my saddlebags. It was also one of those questions that was going through my head since early Sept wondering if I was going to have a job before or after vacation.

So now, I really wouldn't have a reason TO be in a hurry to come back to the states. *lol* Just too bad it cost alot to get a flight date changed.

Ppl at work that knew about my trip were like "don't let it sit on your mind and just have fun on your trip and worry about it when you come back." No shit!! I sure as hell wasn't going to let this bother me when I'm supposed to be having fun.

9 long fucking years! This was the first job I ever worked at that long.


But in better news, one more fucking day till Japan!!!!!!!!

And now to finish the dreading packing part >__<.

I was going to post a pic of my new hair color but since my camera isn't working I'll just give you a link to what my hair roughly looks like (1st pic on the link) Manic Panic Vampire Red. I was wanting just streaks to go with my blonde but it bled through my hair when I went to rinse it out. Looks neat but thankfully it does wash out just in case when I get back from my trip, it doesn't freak any potential employers out. To put it better, my hair looks like Aya from WK and THANKFULLY my blonde is still visible.

That's a shame about your job but at least it is over with and you were expecting it. That is one less thing you will have to worry about on your trip. So have a completely wonderful time!!

I'm sorry about the job. I'm sure you'll be able to find something when you get back.

And... Enjoy your vacation in Japan! Yay! ^__^

Oooh... And the hair! I wanted to dye my hair into something in that color too but I think everyone here will freak out. LOL

I'm sorry to hear about your job! But I know you'll enjoy Japan! I wish I could go!

I'll stay here and learn the language, I guess. Yoi tai o!

You tabi* o!

Never mind. :P I clearly suck.

Yoi tabe o! <-- *is right*

Ack! *hugs* I'm sorry to hear about your job! But like you said, at least now you don't have to have that as a lingering worry during your trip to Japan. I hope you have a wonderful time!

(also: I hate suitcase-packing. I always forget something important. I make lists, double-check the lists, and I still forget something! >_<)

I'm not sure how your LJ account is set up, but I replied to your query. Please see your previous LJ post.

Oh my goodness... what crappy timing. I'm glad that you have this wonderful vacation (tomorrow OMG!) to take your mind off of things. I'll be thinking of you. Make sure you don't get into too much trouble.

I can't wait to see this hair color of yours.

Wow, big job news, but I guess in a way it's good to know before your trip so you don't have to think about it while you're there. You can just have fun and deal with the job hunt when you get back. :)

Have a great time!!
