Good News, Bad News-It Just Depends on How You Look at It

Big news for The Very Best Cats household- I am now of the unemployed.  Yes, as of monday at 4:00 when I was called into my manager's office and told?  She didn't say I was being laid off.  She didn't say I was being fired.  I don't even think she said that she had to let me go.  It was a very weird discussion.  But I knew what the gist of it was because her manager was in the room as she discussed a problem with some documents I needed to have signed by a customer.  The documents are probably sitting in an unopened pile of mail, waiting to be signed and returned to me.  It's more complicated that I can write about due to respecting the privacy of this individual.

I think I probably surprised both managers because I did not try to defend my position regarding this last "accusation."  I used to defend my side rigorously when I felt I was being falsely accused of some problem at work.  One of my basic rules of life is if I am wrong, I will admit it.  But if I am not, look out.  I will argue my side because I won't take on a false accusation about myself or my work.

But with this last meeting, I was ready to give up the fight.  I knew this was coming for a very long time.  Management was not happy with me for many reasons.  And they have been trying to push me out for a while now.

So it is done.  Today I am looking for affordable health insurance for my husband and myself.  If anyone has any tips, I would really appreciate the help.

That's my big news for today.  I have not been unemployed since I was 19 years old. That's a lot of years ago for me.  So this is a big change.  Please, wish us all luck.  We may need it.
