Alright, so my last post was in 2009. Not much has been going on since then. Went back to school in the fall and graduated with a BA in Latin and minors in History and Classical Civilizations. So off into the world I went, got a job in town. I had the job til December of 2010 when I was laid off. I didn't really have a problem with it until I found out WHY I was laid off. They put people on what they call "tenure" which is hilarious because it's actually the exact OPPOSITE of what tenure is. You go on your tenure after a year and they hire you back in 3 months. Why is this?
It's so that they don't have to give you a raise (7.50 an hour) or give you full benefits. So I was laid off in December. It is now currently day 44 of unemployment and I'm not enjoying it.
I've applied to so many positions at so many places and I very rarely hear back from anybody. I just keep putting them out there and hope I get something. At least something over 7.50 an hour. Different states have even received my resumes. Everyone has been really helpful as well. Giving me a heads up when work is available and such and I've got a roof over my head and food in the pantry, for which I am thankful.
I keep toying with the idea of moving to Seattle with Bart and Spivey to open a restaurant. Just toying with the idea is pretty exciting. Maybe then I could grow my beard back. Yes, the sad sad day came when after 5 years I had to shave off my beard. Only to reveal the GIANT baby face underneath.
Anyway, I'm off to enjoy my afternoon. Have a good one y'all!
