Now Seeking New Paths

Hello and welcome to the Unicorn's Bookshelf.
This is mostly just so that it's easier to update my friends on life events. To everyone else, I appreciate your patience.
As of today I am no longer employed. I was given my letter of termination just before my lunch period today and was allowed to return home. My current plan is to relax and try to enjoy my weekend and then apply for unemployment on Monday and begin looking for a new job. Thankfully, I have a few people in my life that are able to help me, so I'm not without resources. I don't want to have to rely on that, but my point is that one way or another...I'll be okay. It'll be rough, but I'll be okay.
This....it sucks. I've been working at the same place for just over twelve years and have been full time there for over five years now. It's been a long time since I went job hunting, and even then I got very lucky. this will be a new experience. On the other hand...it's also over, and for that I can breathe a sigh of relief for the moment. I'm no longer having to worry about whether I'll manage to keep the job or not. Months of stress, but the decision has been made. I don't know what comes next, but at least now it's a situation I have at least some control over. It's a strange feeling. As freeing as it is depressing. I just know that things are going to change, but somehow things will be okay.

Now...in my defense, I believe the failure to improve largely has to do with the time management problem, which I will admit to. Resolving this was made somewhat difficult in the last year as several of my duties were reassigned elsewhere. To be honest, I'm not sure how to fix this one, but I suspect there was something. Customer service....based on the response I've seen from people who have heard of my termination....I'm not going to say I was perfect, by any means. There are things that could have been improved, but overall the general populace doesn't seem to have had much issue with my customer service. If anything, I've seen a lot of support.
So...I don't know. I know I wasn't perfect, but this still came as something of a shock. I just hope I can do better in my next job, I guess.
