So. I had been walking around recently with my head screwed on straight. My future looking bright. I had always thought that in my line of work, I would always be needed and I wouldn’t have to worry about the economy having an effect on me. It has had an effect on me but not to the extent I thought it would until yesterday morning.
I found out Monday morning that the company I work for is losing one of its contracts. We still have another, but the one we are losing accounts for about 3/4ths of my income. This isn’t a good sign. However, I’m not one of those whiney SOB’s that think I deserve a job or that I deserve anything but the opportunity to do well.
I’m really kinda playing it by ear and seeing what is going to happen in the next week or two before I start making any plans on whether to stay and hope all works out, or to get out there and start finding another job.
I’ll probably go back to what I had been doing a few years ago to supplement my income. That would be buying junk and turning it around and selling it on ebay. I always made a few extra bucks doing that.
I’ll keep you up to date on what happens.
