The hell going on Ludu?
2 months ago
Remember I said that June was a bitch? YES IT WAS! It was a horror, and it waited for the end of the month for the coup de grâce. My freaking job let me go. And it was a real sitcom kinda situation too. Here I am reprograming and reseting the equipment in a building. An entire building! On my own! 15 classrooms to PRE-Covid Settings. Then they pull me into a meeting. No big, right? Wait.... why is the new HR lady here???
You are let go. You don't have to hang around..... Just leave.....
What pissed me off more is that they said "Oh this was a last minute decision." Fuck you fuck that. You dicks were talking about this for weeks! I am at the start and end of every meeting of the BOT. I was made aware of every slide in the slide shows. I knew exactly how much in debt the college was in, and the 2 previous Boards ran the school into the ground. I respect that the new head was serious about pullin the school out of the hole. So don't pull that "Oh it just happened" nonsense with me! I would be less pissed if they said it was a long debate before we decided.
I mean I knew the writing was on the wall. I was passively looking for a better job. Its just that if felt better to look while a regular paycheck was available.
Since that day, I have hit the ground running looking for work. I have been on unemployment and have a few positive responses. But all in all its "Hurry up, and wait." Its a stress headache and I have been in and out of anxiety for the last month. As such I have had a hard time picking up my pencil. Any time i try, i get stuck staring at paper. My mind screaming that " I should be looking for work, not drawing"
I bet a lot of us have been there. I know I am not the only one. I have talked with family and friends and my anxiety has calmed down. Actually enough that i can work on drawings.
I apologize for being so quiet, but I promise to try and get back to my usual silliness.
Take care folks, and wish me some luck.

Shoot, I'd go remote if i could find one that didn't look like a scam.
Sides, for you it's extra stressful. There's now a wife and a little one to consider. Don't need me to remind, but sometimes hearing another affirm things helps.
We'll both keep pluggin'. I hope that my move will help with opportunities to heal from the abuse and neglected I've suffered here in FL for the past 30 years, but time will tell.
You'll find it too I'm sure. And you're a hell of a lot more functional human being than I am.
