The Last Day

Today has been tough but nice. Our Controller bought us pizza for lunch and a lot of us gathered in the lunch room and ate and chatted. I definitely get misty eyed thinking about Midway and how much I've enjoyed my time.

My boss wrote me a really nice email. He's someone I'd work for again in a heartbeat. I've learned quite a lot from him and have enjoyed my time working with and for him. I will miss him.

I signed up for UI benefits today. Weird.

I heard from my former boss this morning. She sold her company a few months back and is making a whole career change. She asked me if I could put her in touch with a couple people in my network and I gladly obliged. She's a very positive person and it's nice to be around those people....especially when I sometimes think the world sucks....but only do I feel this SOMETIMES. I also helped a friend's sister yesterday by providing her with contacts in the sales and retail world. Pay it forward. It will come back around.

Had a lovely lady dinner last night. Friends who have been where you are and can give you positive reinforcement and such are key to getting through this. I am thankful for my wonderful friends.

I called the Ad agency this morning but have not heard back. I also reached out to one of the former Exec Producers at Midway who moved onto another gaming company. He called me right back and left a message (I returned his call but have not heard back as of yet) asking about money and making sure I'd be open to contracting. At least there's a glimmer of hope that I could land somewhere soon.

Until then....I will keep pounding the pavement. There is no one who works harder than me in terms of networking. I just have to keep keepin' on.

I have wonderful people in my life (you know who you all are) and am so thankful for this. I will get thru unemployment just like you will. We're no different. Support. Listen. Love. Understand. Hope. Advise. That's all we can do.

HIRE ME!
