First week...

So, I'm setting up this blog about me and my life. Mind the bad grammar and bad spelling.

This month was not been very good for me. I lost my job. They let me go after 10+ years. I'm fortunate enough to have good friends and family to support me. But, the job hunt is daunting and scary. Circumstances that let to me not working with my company is two-sided affair and the company has all the leverage. A project was given to me with many obstacles and not enough time and money to resolve all the issues. They took the project away from me and gave it to their most "senior" expert. Senior is polite way of saying of stuck at the same position for over 30 years. Last, I heard that they still haven't resolved the issues and more obstacles and problems are involved. Maybe, this is a blessing in disguise. A kick in the pants to get a better job and a better profession. Sure, I learned lot of new skills and experiences. And, got me through the damn recession. But, if managers' turf wars, constant back-stabbing, and pounce on any sign of weakness(they ridicule a guy for losing his mom), is it really worth it?

The tasks I accomplished this week were filing of unemployment, renew my driver's license, canceled some expenses, create a resume and so many cover letters. Applied to several jobs this week, no response back yet. I heard people spend 8-10 hours a day applying for jobs with no responses. Weeks and months on end. Maybe years. God, I hope not. This is stuff that they don't tell you when you are a kid. Jobs are so temporary.

I did sign up for Uber. Don't have enough money to go back to school and learn a new skill. I can't get a financial aid since I have so many credit hours. Well, tomorrow should be better than this week.

Hope someone relate to my predicament.
