Still sinking in

A week ago Sunday I was called behind our work trailer to the "conference room" by my company supervisor, Dave. Dave told me that things were slowing down and that my job position was no longer needed.

Long story short, I had only been moved into this job position for a week.

I was hired on to be the documentation specialist / historian. I was taking pictures of the equipment that came into decon that were to be cleaned.

Short version of the story, I was brought to days for a hot minute because of some miscommunication (kinda like the telephone game that was played when you were a kid). It was said I was not performing my job correctly but I was... anyways, the night time supervisor wanted to move me to logistics to better use my skills.

So when I was moved back to nights I was put in the logistics position. (The night time supervisor who wanted me in logistics went back to California while I was on days to a great job offer.)

Now, a week later, several companies have been let go including the one I worked for as well as all but 10 night shift employees.... So....

I would have been out of a job but that last week of pay would have been nice.

So here I am, standing jobless, not wanting to go back to Jackson just yet, and not sure where my next paycheck will come from to pay all my bills!

But a couple of positive things out of this....

Ashley and one of her "normals" Lisa are living in my house to help me pay the house note and give them a place to stay.

I got a job with Liberty National Life Insurance. (Yes, I have a job now! But it scares me because it is a commission only job!!!!)

I am still looking at jobs online and applied for the Best Buy down here in hopes of getting hired on for at least seasonal work so I know I will have one steady income.

So for now, I am still trying to let my quick departure from my night shift family to sink in....

Peeking Through the Gate

Through life we will hear the saying that the grass is greener on the other side. But as we peek through the fences of life we learn that the grass is not necessarily greener on the other side. It's really just another brand of grass ;-)

Life changes on a daily basis, it might not affect you on a day to day basis but you will notice things around you that are changing.

I am not a big fan of change. But change it good!

Fall is my favorite time of the year because of the changing colors on the trees. It makes a beautiful picture of how change is good for us. God is taking life, changing its colors, letting it hide for a season to help it grow internally (spiritually), then allowing it to bloom again!

Life for me has changed alot lately. For those of you who don't know I am getting a divorce. No details needed but know I am better for it. Lots of stress has been released from my shoulders. Granted I still have things to take care of but please let's not have a pity party for Heather and say I'm sorry. God has brought me this far and I know I am not alone. I have the support of my wonderful family and friends supporting me and wrapping me up with love!

So now after a time of silence I will let you peek through the gate and into my life again. I have missed my blogging family!

BTW, Thanks mom for the idea on the title! (And yes, those are pictures of me!)
