Work update... Yep

Well it is official the last day that my job will be open is the 26th of this month. I knew it was coming but I am still just a little in shock, like I said before last month I had never even helped with a store shutting down and closing shop. Add to that lovely issue, the bf and I put our notice in at this apartment on the first of March. So I am not only looking for a new job but also trying to get into this new apartment as well. 

So needless to say I am a wee bit freaked, and while coffee does help a little with the stress by calming me down, it is not enough to combat the cut in my hours. So this paycheck is gonna be a bit short. As a result I am seriously worried that I might fall even further behind on my student loan payments. Not a good thing, the last thing I want to do is ruin my credit because of money. 

Plus side of this all is that I did do my taxes at the beginning of the month so by the time that my march payment is due I should have that refund check in my hot little bank account. And I should also be able to start looking at some new work clothes. 

On the working note again, I did have an interview today and I hope it was as promising as it felt when I left. But I have a feeling that I might be looking for a long time to come, and that worries me. I need to stop thinking too far ahead though, it kind of makes me freak out a little bit. 

Anyway that was a long way of saying "I'm scared" and "this is totally new for me" 

Have any of you been in this position? If so do you have any advice to give? 

Well that is it for now. As always Luv ya all! And thanks for listening/reading. 

Not sure what to say.

Well I know I have hinted at this issue a lot on my social media for the last couple of days (let's be honest, the last week), but it is officially happening and I might be unemployed at the end of the month if I am not careful. You see last week, the day that I got back to work from my race, within 30 minutes of me clocking in to be precise, I was informed that corporate is closing down the store that I work in. And while I can't honestly say that I didn't see it coming, I was just kind of hoping that we might have had some warning before that call was made. 

That being said, I am scared out of my mind! I have never left one job without having something else already lined up and waiting in the wings, so to speak. So this situation is totally new territory for me.

I have been working my tail off in the last week during my off hours filling out applications and sending out resumes, in hopes that something will come along before the end of the month. I mean I have a lot of marketable skills, I am a personable person (when I have my coffee in the morning), I love working, I hate asking for handouts. 

At this point though I think I am going to have to get 2 part time jobs if I cannot find something full time. But I know I can do it, I do have an tentative offer of employment from another store within the company, but that is gonna wait till I can talk face to face with the manager there on the 22nd (fingers crossed) I do love working for this place. 

I also have 2 second interviews scheduled for this Friday, one with a gym in the area and another with another store in this mall. I know that it doesn't mean much as I do have to get passed the RM and DM of these places. But the gym would be a new industry for me to work in and I am kinda excited about that. 

That being said, I am not to sure I should even post this. It is my life and that is all that I blog about here, the things that knit together to make me who I am. But I feel like I'm complaining and there are people who have it much worse than me. Oh well enough of the pity party, I am off to work and I'm gonna have fun with it. Talk to you all again soon. 

And as always luv ya all!
