First off, thanks for all the commiseration and kind wishes I’ve received from everyone, whether it be via e-mail, blog/LiveJournal/Facebook comments, or Twitter. E-support is definitely still support, and it’s nice to have so much!
Yesterday, as may have been expected, was pretty much devoted to moping around. It’s been a while since I’ve had a good mope, anyway, so I suppose I was due, right?
Today I’m starting to get the gears turning to see where to go from here. I still need to haul out the resume and get it updated, but that shouldn’t take too terribly long once I manage to dig up my motivation from wherever it crawled off to. I spoke to my contact at the employment office that had contracted me to the job that just ended, and while the good news is that I was only let go because of economic cutbacks, got good reviews from my supervisors, and have sufficiently high keyboarding and data entry scores to put me at or near the top of the heap when new positions open up…the bad news is that there just aren’t open positions at the moment. Apparently, I’m not the only one out there trying to find a job right now. Huh. Who’da thunk it?
Still and all, hopefully something will turn up. I’m going to keep in contact with them, and start trolling Craigslist and the various job sites out there. Something’s bound to turn up at some point — I just hope it ends up on the “sooner” end of the “sooner or later” scale.
