How's your day going?

Well, judging from the way I began the thread, it's not exactly like it was a shocker.

Business here hasn't been great all year, even prior to them cutting my hours, and I sort of expected this to happen... but not to the level they're making cuts. They've dissolved the entire team I work(ed) with and discontinued the products we sell--er, sold. A couple of the software developers are being reallocated to other projects, and the project leader and sales person will probably find other positions within the company, but the secretary and I, the tech support guy, are pretty much S.O.L.

So... uh... anybody need a tech guy with significant phone and offsite support experience?

Chad, Check your PMs.

Sorry to hear that, Chad

Wishing you luck finding a new job you're happy with.

I came home to a toilet clogged up with a potato and I am going to be stuck working six days again this week at work. I hate working six days, but I guess it is better than nothing.

I can't wait until I graduate and can get a better job, hopefully....48 days to go!

What beta are you all speaking of.

Still, sorry to hear it happened. It always sucks,even at the best of times.

Times are tough for a lot of us. In 2008 I was making thousands and thousands of dollars a month. This year, however, I lost one job to go to another one where I have basically been paying to work as there is work dating back to August I still have not been paid for. I recently applied for a job that pays $7.50 an hour and Im behind on my rent, car payments and on the verge of losing everything. Oh yeah somewhere in the midst of that I got divorced. But I manage it by trying to look at things neutrally. Trying to think "positive" is hokus pokus pseudoscience advice. Instead I recommend to think "neutral." For my situation, I think to myself that this stinks and I haven't done anything to deserve half of it, but perhaps something will come around. Perhaps this is my incentive to write that novel I always wanted, or explore ways to go back for my masters. I refuse to accept the idea that it is happening for a reason though, as there is no reason for it. But I can at least try to move on and work towards improving the situation. And not everything is bad in my life either. So think "neutral."

Well, on the bright side, I found a roommate to take up my second bedroom (which meant cleaning all of my computer stuff out and decommissioning my office *sniff*). I honestly only popped on here to make sure that my setup was working correctly after moving everything down the hall.

But of course, since life can't help but pancake with me... my new roommate is my ex-girlfriend, who just got a job in the same office complex (not same company) where I just lost my job. She can't handle the current hour-long commute from her parents' house to the office, so she's renting out my extra room. Yes, I know, it's about the weirdest thing ever.

Still, at least I don't have to worry about her stealing my stuff and pawning it, like my youngest sister's roommates always seem to do...
