Laid Off - Jobs
In the span of 15 minutes on Tuesday I was laid off from my job managing MaineBusiness.com and given a new job as a night content producer for the Portland Press Herald. I went from working from 6am to 2pm, Monday through Friday and having a social life to working 6pm to 2am Tuesday through Saturday and having no social life. It's been a bitter pill to swallow.
Not that I'm not thankful to still have a job -- because I am. But I moved to Portland six weeks ago for a job that no longer exists. A job that I loved and was excited about. I know that I'm not the first person this has happend to but it's the first time this has happened to me. I'm not taking it well.
A half an hour before I was to start my new job last night I had a full blown panic attack. I couldn't stop crying, I was shaking, and my lips were going numb. My sister talked me through it via cell phone. Thank goodness. I felt like a baby. Some people totally lost their jobs all together and here I am hyperventilating because I lost the job I liked and was given another job instead.
Working nights is odd. I'm a single 30-year-old woman who enjoys meeting her friends for a drink after work. Making plans to visit my family or friends on the weekends. Those plans are now out the window. If anyone has any suggestions how to make the most of a crappy situation I'm all ears....
