The mood at the hotel isn't looking so great today. I start wandering off in my own head about my job; specifically security. GSK and Comcast combined laid off over 2,000 people this week.
Marie, one of our Accountants, had her hours cut back to only 20 hours per week. I'm already starting to feel paranoid, in a sense. My position is new here at the hotel and they can easily rid of it just as easy as they created it. This isn't the greatest of feelings to be honest; I need to do something to get my mind off of it, but what? It's kind of hard when you turn on the TV, radio, computer and all you hear, see and read about are job cuts. So much for the great life after college!
I felt more security at my old job, but I had to leave :(. I'm trying to stay positive, but it's hard. I'm just going to keep on trucking and quote my mother,
"There's always another job out there for if anyone happens to be laid off."
This is true, but it's so daunting and stressful to think about. God has things happen for a reason, and whatever and whenever they may occur, I'm not going to dwindle and fall apart here; there's more to life than this particular moment in a particular time through adversity. Everything isn't handed to you on a silver platter and you need to work and strive for the things you want to become and achieve.
