Hello, update. Life's been crazy lately. And it was all good, believe it or not, up until friday. Me and Tom are doing really great. A couple weekends ago, he came and visited and we threw a pretty successful party. I paid off a couple of my credit cards, and my credit rating shot up, which was good news.

And then Friday I lost my job.

Officially, until the 26th I still work for OfficeMax, but after that my position no longer exists. I, and about 3,000 other employees, have been terminated. I was handling it pretty well, until it hit me today the possiblities of me finding a job making that much money are pretty slim. So now the bills are adding up in my head. I honestly am not quite sure what way to turn. Jobhunting for me is the worst thing in the world, which is why I've been with officemax for so long anyway. The market right now is crap, because my company is only one of thousands doing mass terminations.

I'm trying to stay positive. I was given a four week severance, which can get me through until the end of August if I tighten the budget and gas stays below $5. And I have a degree that has to be worth something to someone. But on the other hand, if I haven't been able to find something better for the last two years, why would now be so different?
