Thousands

After the past week and a half's headlines on the thousands and thousands of people being laid off from their jobs, reality is starting to sink in a bit. This recession is no joke. People that I am very close with are being directly affected and losing their jobs. Now I'm realizing how insensitive some previous posts might have been.

The last two weeks of work were bad. There is no other way to put it, they were just really bad in more ways than one. But I am so thankful that I am still employed, even if I don't particularly care for the work that I'm doing. A job is a job. It is keeping me afloat, paying my bills and paying for my vacations, which I'm lucky to even be taking at this point. I just have to suck it up during these difficult times and stop complaining like a little kid until the economy starts to turn around. I could be much much much much more worse off than just being the person who's not getting what she wants out of her career after 2 years. I have zero right to rant on like I have been. Now, I'm not at fault for not liking what I'm doing at all, but now just is not the time to do it. Someone slap me then next time I complain about my career. Thanks.
