Had a job? Lost a job!

I was called on December 5th just after I finished a conference call with the education department. It was my boss - TODAY was my last day working for the company. Boss even asked me if I would have rather been let know on Monday or Friday? Who cares, I was being canned!

WOW, not what I expected! I've seen a few people get fired. Here is what I thought would happen if I ever got let go.....

Boss calls and tells you he is going to come by and see you tomorrow. When boss gets there he is accompanied by another person if employee being let go is female. The visit always happens on a Monday or a Friday. Boss would have some paperwork for me to fill out for the termination.

Now that I am unemployed, what am I suposed to do with all the organizations they sugested I volunteer for? I am going to finish the tasks I said I would do with the organizations I am volunteer for. It's my name on the line and the organizations are worthwhile.

Does it suck that I lost my job? Yes
Do I wonder what I am going to do next? YES
Am I lost and wondering how I am going to make ends meet? No
What am I going to do next? I don't know - Find a job.
What is the biggest concern of mine? Health Insurance!

Best part, they are transfering someone from another part of the country into Arizona. I'll have to meet the new guy sometime.
