unemployment.

so “the economy” has hit home lately and i received word about two weeks ago that my last day with Wood Properties would be April 17th.  they were really apologetic and said i have done well but they just don’t have enough work for me or money to pay me.  i’m not surprised, because i am very expensive.  just kidding.  i wasn’t too surprised though, because they had not closed a sale the entire time i was there (9 months), and while the leasing side of things remained active that’s just not enough to sustain a whole, albeit, small company.  getting laid off is pretty awkward.  people are not quite sure how to react, and so i think they kind of avoided me for the last week.  i am learning in hard situations that saying something, anything is better than nothing.  i tend to get nervous about saying the wrong thing in bad situations, as i know we all do, but a simple i’m sorry at least acknowledges that you realize the situation has happened.  anyways, the very last day was particularly funny, the boss took us all out to pf changs, delicious, where everyone chatted like normal and then when we all walked off they kind of waved at me and said “see ya.”  i did not know what to expect, and it’s not like we were bff, since i had been there a short time anyway, but a casual wave and “see ya” just struck me as funny.  odd.  so now i am unemployed, just hanging out at the house and painting.
