So HELLO! I had blogged before about being told that I was going to be laid off. So Yesterday was the day. Yep I'm officially jobless. Since then (January 6th) I have been going through the motions I was shocked at first then I woke up one morning and thought it had been a dream and I was in denial it was actually happening. Then I was angry (very angry) how could these people that I had devoted my life to for the past 4 years be "dumping me". Then I just cried - I cried until I couldn't cry any more. I felt abandoned and I was just so depressed. Then I remembered that everything happens for a reason. I have been so lonely and asking for my life to change. Well be careful what you ask for! So I figure that this is the universes way of setting me on my new path. I just keep thinking hopefully my next job will have plenty of good looking single guys. Then I was able to feel acceptance. Now don't get me wrong - that thought didn't cure me. I still go through the cycles. They are just smaller and don't last as long and don't hurt as much.
I was watching that new show undercover boss where the president of Waste Management went to different locations under cover and he was visiting the scales. There was a woman who worked there that ran everything. She did all of the office, payroll, A/P, A/R and then went down and ran the scales and the phones. Basically she was me. Then the President went and worked with her for the day and realized that she was doing the job of 5 people and he wanted to help her and reward her for that. So she got promoted to Supervisor and got to hire 2 people to replace her and she got a raise. Watching that killed me - I was doing the job of 8 people and I got laid off, only to train 4 people other people to replace me - How is that cost effective. Then that just made me think it's me or my attitude or whatever. Then the cycle started all over again.
In December I had talked with a Tupperware director about singing up. I had originally wanted to do Tupperware as a side business and a way to organize my kitchen and house. So I actually started Tupperware on January 22, 2010. I am tonight receiving an award for top sales in the month of February. I also have always wanted to be able to teach life skills and now I'm seriously considering starting to do it. I can incorporate my Tupperware by having cooking demo classes. I'm really excited about this. I just have to figure out how to keep financially afloat while living the dream.
