Unemployment

Hello my fellow bloggers! Boy have I got crushing news: Friday at 5pm my boss let me go. I was in total shock. I so did not see this one coming. It sucks. It really, really sucks. Even more so since Joe's been out of work since April! (He did get a side job this weekend so that will help out big time.) About a month ago boss hired this advisor to check out the company and suggest how to run it more smooth. Well I guess one of the suggestions was letting me go. Why? Well the excuse I was given: "The changes I'm making to the company are going in a different direction. Therefore your services are no longer needed." WTF? I was the accounting department. No one else did anything in accounting but me. I handled 3 companies' books plus the dad boss' personal stuff and his company. I think the advisor told him that he could find someone else to do the job and pay them less than what he was paying me. Oh well. Their loss. I figure now I can really enjoy Valentine's day and Mother's day with the added work stress. (It was the floral industry and those were the biggest holidays each year. Let me say CRAZINESS!) I was quite upset and emotional about this. I went into shock. Couldn't sleep that night or anything. So yesterday and today I took out my fustrations in my yard. I've mowed, I've weedwhacked and I've picked up crap to throw away. Once again my yard looks like a liveable place not a jungle. And I'm feeling it too! My arms hurt, my legs hurt, my back hurts, I have blisters on my hands. But I sure do have a nice yard to look at now. =) Maybe I even threw away those few lbs I was trying to rid of?!

So I figure this is my "push" I needed to jump start my graphic design career. I've been in touch with my career counslor from school and I plan on talking to her tomorrow to tell her my change of plans and I'm ready to dive in. I am going to take this week "off" though. Sara and I are going to Ocala to my parents get away place and enjoy some much needed mommy-daughter time. It will just be me and her. We will go kayaking and we are definately planning a float on a tube down Rainbow River. SO looking forward to that!!

Until next time...

Today is the last day of my current course in school. Tomorrow is the first day of my last class until I graduate! Yippeee! Well, I got caught up playing with blog backgrounds and am having issues. The images seem to be too big for the background. I'm going nuts so I just designed the background image to where it would fit. And this is what I came up with: my picture and my name. Pretty cool, eh? If you'd like a custom blog background just let me know. And take a look at my graphic design blog. I'm your graphic designer!
