So, the end of this month/year I'm losing my job. I've known about it for months. First I was being let go in August, then I got an extension til the end of December. Now, it's all coming to a close. Nearly 12 years with this company and I'm being cut. Not because I did anything wrong but because some knuckleheaded consulting firm thought it would be a good idea to take a group of tenured reps in fraud, chargebacks and data entry and replace them with a bunch of people that have never done that kind of work before. As you can tell, I'm still a little bitter. They wanted me to move to Cincinnati and stay in my old job but that just wasn't in the cards for me. Amazing how they can have so many other people working from other states out of their living rooms with no supervision but they couldn't let me, and my 12 years of experience, work from the Evansville office.
I've been bitter about it for a while and though I try not to show it too much, I know people can tell. I've come to the realization that while it's going to be scary to look for a new job and possibly be unemployed for a while this might be the time for me to get out and try something new. Challenge myself to do something different with my life. Unfortunately, I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. :)
Any ideas?

Thanks for stopping by. If you have feedback, please leave it. I may have strong feelings about things but I know that doesn't make them right...all the time. Give me your perspective but...be nice! I don't need a bunch of strangers being nutso in my life! :) Thanks
