A Life Update
10 years ago
Since my last journal is from 2014 and I really ought to keep this page even somewhat up to date.
I'm just going to give a TL;DR.
2015 was a pretty terrible year up until recently. Family got sick (very badly so), and my workplace started going through 'reorganization' - or in blunt speak, layoffs.
I've never really been up front with what my job exactly entailed, largely because at the time, it would've been really easy to find out who I was and I am quite adamant about keeping my real life separate from my online fursona. I can count on one hand the number of people online who knew of where I worked.
In short, my job was recruitment, training, the whole shebang for an international tech company. I helped bring people into the company, but they also had the bright idea that because of this, I should help take people out. I can't really elaborate on how stressful it is to be part of the firing process. I was only there at the very end of the process, but just that glimpse is all the proof I need to conclude that it fucking sucks. For the better part of the year thus far, I was extremely stressed out and intentionally kept myself away from most things because I was frankly not very pleasant to be around.
At the same time, I was also aware that my own head was looming dangerously close to the chopping block - I got shuffled around repeatedly and avoided the axe myself at least twice, but a few weeks ago my luck finally ran out. I was laid off one crummy morning (along with a huge part of the department I worked in) and sent home to stew and promptly stir myself up into a panic attack worrying that I'd never get a decent job again. I'm not sure what's going to happen to the company now, but frankly I quite quickly moved beyond worrying about said workplace.
Suffice to say, I'm writing this journal because I was hilariously wrong.
I'm employed again, and so far the new job is pretty much a straight upgrade in every way over my old company. On top of that, family stuff has reached a state of equilibrium, so I don't have to worry about that either.
TL;DR - 2015 sucked until recently, I'm back. Ish.
