Well i know this blog was supposed to be about our lovely week ends, but i thought i would go off on a tangent ....maybe just for a little while. This week has been pretty surreal, i woke up on Monday and Paul drove me into work. Not something he would usually do, but my car had gone into the garage for a service. It was otherwise like any other Monday, get to work, turn on my computer....think....I must have coffee!! And then you read an email that turns your world upside down and changes everything. Everyone is summoned to a mandatory meeting, and you know nothing good is going to come out of it. But still, when the doors open and two strange men in suits walk in ...you know its over. They may as well have had receiver written all over them in big black letters! But still you are forced to sit there and listen to them say the words you don't want to hear. And just like that your job is gone and you're left feeling shell shocked and lost. So what do you do next? Go home, curl up and give in....that's just not my style. I haven't cried yet, tho the tears may still come. I am devastated at losing my job, but probably more so at the thought of not seeing my wonderful colleagues again!
So I am on day 2 of unemployment and determined to stay positive and just get out there and keep going. I've managed to get my CV updated and circulated, have signed up with two recruitment agencies and applied for a job.This morning was spent at Extra Personnel in Derby filling out what seemed like a million forms. But it needed to be done, because apparently they have an ideal job to put me forward for. So fingers crossed. When i finally left them, i decided to visit Kedleston Hall as its only up the road, and wouldn't cost me anything, a nice day to sit outside and read. It'll be wonderful i thought, till i got there and found the Hall completely closed to the public....boo hiss! There were people on the gates turning everyone away, but they did suggest a little garden centre up the road if i wanted to stop for tea. Why not i thought, so off i went. A cup of tea, in a very busy tea room (on a wednesday??) and then i literally took some time out to stop and smell the roses!
What will day 3 have in store for me......
