The Days of Unemployment

Day 2 of unemployment went well. I was worried because day 1 of unemployment started with me waking up at the regular time for work, despite not having an alarm set. I tried at first to go back to sleep, but once that proved useless, I gave in and got out of bed.

Day 2 was much easier to sleep in. It was a great day. Got up, ate breakfast, cleaned, got a phone call about an interview and went to the gym. Showered and then went to my sister's house to use her internet access. That is when my day slowed down...for some reason my computer would not connect to her internet and so I used her computer and stayed for dinner. Not a bad day.

Day 3 was great. I went to Logan to start runing in Wasatch Back (see my post on that) and that was basically day 3 of unemployment.

Day 4 was also Wasatch Back, when we finished, we cleaned out the van and went to dinner. I went straight to bed...and let me tell you, my bed has never felt better!!

Day 5 was pretty easy. Church in the morning and then it was Father's day so I went down to Payson to spend time with my family.

Day 6 I had an interview in the morning. I think it went well. I was comfortable with the people that were interviewing me and felt the interview went well. That afternoon a friend of mine called to tell me about a job possibility.

Day 7 I went to the outplacement services place my company hired to help those laid off find new employment. I went to the seminar and it basically lasted all day. During the seminar I called my friend to find out more info on the job...and it sounded great! She set up a meeting with the CEO for after the seminar and I hurried over there...and after some small talk, got HIRED!! YAY!!

Day 8 I went ahead and attended the second day of the seminar. It was informative, but not super useful. Probably because I got a job!!

Day 9 I showed up at the company's office in Sugarhouse and signed the hire forms and went to my new office in Draper. Yay for finding a job quickly!!
