I lost my job today.
I was just a little over a month from the three-year mark, and they pulled the plug. Economic downturn. Since I was the last person to join the team, I was the first to get the axe. I can only hope that my (former) co-workers are safe. I'm the youngest, so I have a better chance of bouncing back in one piece.
The bright side is that I'll get to devote the full day to my precinct tomorrow. But selfishly, I'd rather have my job. I've got a mortgage to pay.
We have to win tomorrow. Have to.
We can't afford to have the economy tank any further. At least, I can't.
Wednesday, I'll be taking the day for myself. Trying to get my resume in shape, and planning what to do next. Hopefully, I'll be recovering from a night of celebrating national gains (and maybe even a few local and statewide gains).
Thursday, I'll send the resume out to the temp farms, since nobody seems to hire directly anymore. I'll dust off the interview suits and put on my brave face. I'll figure something out.
I'm just knocked for the proverbial loop.
Damn.
