I knew that it was inevitable, but I really did think…

If you’ve read off and on here on my blog then you know that I’m in the middle of looking for a job. A career change, actually. In September 2010 the company I currently work for, Waggin’ Train was purchased by Nestle Purina PetCare… and the transition began.

I really did think that after my last chat on the topic, a position would open up for me to move into, or interview for and everything would be OK. Well, here I am, the day before Thanksgiving, and the search still continues.

Freaking job… your timing sucks!

That empty, bottom of the pit feeling I had a while ago… well, it has sunk as low as it can, and feels worse everyday. Looking for a job during the Holidays is horrible. And stressful.

Being so close to the final date, with no job waiting for me January 1st, we’re pulling all of our resources, which are basically non-existent, as a ‘just in case’.

We also had the talk with our kids. Not that talk (already done), but the talk to be truthful with our two kids about the road bump ahead of us. We explained that this Christmas would definitely not be like past Christmases. And, we explained that some of the activities they are apart of might have to cease for awhile.

They understand. Our fingers are crossed! Positive thoughts on the job front.

So, here is to celebrating a new job on New Year’s Eve and a wonderful 2012!
