There Goes Another One

I'm just going to start with the bad news and get it out of the way:

I became one of many who have been laid off from work just last Wednesday. It has been one of the saddest days that I've had to endure in a long time. I'm the type of person who gets stressed out with real life and throws their whole being into work. So what happens when that gets taken away? 

I throw myself into finding other work. This is a lot easier said than done, people. Like the past week of trying to find someone to help me find a job has become another job in and of itself.  I am still pretty depressed about losing my job and I just hope that if when? I land an interview, I can show I'm fully over my last job. It's going to be a tough sell, but I think I'll manage. 

In much happier news:

A close friend of mine asked me to be one of her bridesmaids after she found out one of her cousins couldn't make it to the wedding. Oddly enough, I'm not offended about being a last-minute addition to the bridal party. I'm honored that she thought of me, even though we've known each other for just over a year. So I got measured for my dress Monday and now I've got to find some shoes. I guess being unemployed makes shopping a little easier since I can go during the weekdays. Maybe this has been a blessing in disguise really, really, really, camouflaged!

Just bought Kelly Clarkson's new album on iTunes and I love it so far! I've been switching between her and Duffy lately. I finally got a little iTrip so I can listen to my music in the car and stop fumbling with CD's while I'm driving. I've had 3 of those iTrip's and they keep changing the iPod model it's compatible with. Damn you, Apple! If this version of iTrip isn't compatible with the next-gen iPod, you are officially on notice.

As the job search becomes longer, the blogs may become more frequent. Watch out, now.

Obi-Wan Kenobi; you're my only hope.
