Today I was told that I will lose my job probably within a month’s time. The place where I currently work has been bought out by another company, meaning we will have new owners and the old owners will walk away with whatever money they get. I have other co-workers (who are much older than me to boot) who have told me they have always been laid off after their employers were bought out by a more richer company. That’s what they’ll do, I know. Maybe not to everyone immediately,but slowly the new owners will choke all the “old” departments and replace us with their own people.
I’m just so depressed, but probably not as depressed as I really should be. I’ve been looking for a career-related job for over a year, with some job interviews, but really going nowhere. Honestly, I was expecting this to happen because it’s been years in the making. I’m just aggravated it’s had to happen now. I’m just so lost because I have friends who have either found jobs before they graduated or within 6 months. It’s been too long with me. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I have had all kinds of people help me, but I feel like people are a waste of my time. I understand God will provide within good time and is probably teaching me to be patient, but those $1,000 school loan payments I make each month won’t pay themselves. I need the money. I’m not saving any money currently.
I feel like the hamster running in the wheel, never getting to a final destination. I do have an interview sometime this week (if I’m lucky enough at least; they keep changing it and want to phone-interview me while I’m at work! Which isn’t allowed…) that is MUCH closer to home and pays me at least $6 more per hour. Only thing is, it’s a contract-to-hire position, meaning they can fire me anytime under any circumstance. I’m hoping this is the opportunity that grows into something hopeful, something that will take me somewhere greater. It’s not a career-related position but it is related to the work I’m currently doing now.
So, I need prayers, prayers to calm my frustration and depression; prayers that I can find a job within a month’s time (finally, at least); and prayers that this job interview will go well. I do appreciate it.
