Fresh

This is my first post since my unlucky day..or maybe it is luck. I was truly upset and as one of my readers stated, "I far from like my job" but, I did like some of the people and I still needed a job, as we do we all. I needed the insurance, the dental, the 401k.... all of it. I have no hard feelings.

16 people were laid off, including he Director of Quality. He was my direct boss and we had a love hat relationship. I am not sure what the others plan to do. Me, well I am going to work on my family, my son in particular. He has been 1/2 on his own since he was 10. Staying home after school buy himself. Always doing a good job but now I feel I need to make up for that. I am going to go to school if at all possible. I really want to learn something new mostly because I need a fresh start. I think being laid off gives my that fresh start. It feels like a release from the manufacturing world. I have been in manufacturing since I was 18 years old, that is about 15 years. I have been successful, I think it was because I never settled, I wanted to learn more and do more. I could sit in the meetings with the college educated Engineers and keep pace.

So with this new chapter in my life starting, I wake up this morning feeling good, recharged and ready to take on the world. I am going to spend lots of time reading about the "best diet pill", trying to get this knee better and quitting smoking.
