It finally happened. Around 5 o'clock this afternoon, the HR director walked into my office and said my supervisor wanted her to tell me that my position was being "phased out." So there I was, without a job that I never liked. I said goodbyes to a few of the people I enjoyed working with and I left the building. My head was clear and I walked on happily. Of course I was concerned that I would be jobless for who knows how long, but I was glad this chapter finally had closed itself.
I called a few friends and told them about the unexpected unemployment. It felt like a good news. I had been talking about quitting all this time and now it happened, it was a huge weight off my shoulders. In a way, I felt I was released from a trap, a place that was seriously unhealthy and unhappy. I called and told dad too. He was calm and gave me some pep talk. Dave and Jose and I then went out for dinner. Well, I had to admit, I wasn't entirely focused on what we were eating at Teresitas, my mind was still processing the news. It was good to have them around. Later we went back to Jose's and watched some TV and ate cookies we bought at Food4Less. I got home after 10 o'clock. I felt a little restless and of course a little worried, but I knew everything would work out just fine.
Hopefully I will be sleeping better now.
