I had been looking for a new job for a while and my goal was to quit before they fired me. Well they beat me to it. We all saw the writing on the wall, budgets NEEDED to be cut. Money was not coming in. It also did not help that I saw on her calendar a meeting to review the contract with a company that does what I do. I knew it was coming....but it still hurts.
It hurts and it sucks. However, I am using this as a opportunity to make this the first day of my new life. My career coach has already opened my eyes to many things. For example:
1) I do not like sales. Sales is the reason why I have felt so uneasy at my job. I am good at it but I am not comfortable at it.
2) I like sales that come to me....and where I can upsale...not cold calls.
3) This is not the end of the world
4) I am already 1 step ahead by looking for a new job.
5) This does not make me a failure. This does not identify me, it is just something that happened to me.
I need to remember number 5 as I look at this fork in the road and try to figure out which road to take. For now I am going to have a good healthy cry and hug my babies. I will be okay but give a week or two to have a cry.
This blog is going to be about my journey, my ups and downs.

I'm sorry to hear that. :( Good luck with your new start! I worked on contract from August to May and my contract for this coming August is not being renewed. Looks like I need a fresh start too!
