Yes, today is the first day of the rest of my life. That's what they say, isn't it, when something has made a change in your life.... Usually not a planned one. I was not planning at this point in my life on getting laid off from my job.
I had been thinking, however, and not in the all that distant past, of LOOKING for a new job. I somehow thought that I would be the one making the decision of when I would leave, but here that decision had been made by someone else.
I have to say that at first I was shocked. I was surprised and very upset. I worked at this job for nearly 8 years. 8 years out of my life spent in the crazy world of retail. Then I became angry. Angry that they could do this to me.
It took me a few days to let it all settle in.... Days that I had to spend at that job, as I had been given my "notice" nearly a month before my actual last day was to be. Finally I came to terms with it and realized that this was the BEST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN TO ME.
