Well, I went through my shift the entire day today, finished up the work week, started cleaning up the shop when my boss came up to me and asked to talk to me for a minute. A lot of talking went down, and included me being let go, as corporate was 'cleaning up' for slow season. Guess who the newest guy there was? Me!
It just started setting in earlier tonight. I packed my stuff from work, clocked out, and headed home. Called my girlfriend to let her know what was up, got home, showered, and just kinda sat and talked to her about everything. She really helped me out a lot, and made me feel fine about it. Earlier this evening though, after we had dinner and everything, it just kinda hit me. I'm a bit unnerved, but I'm not TOO worried. I have enough in savings to cover my bills and some extra expenses for 6 months, and my band has some big things scheduled soon, which will involve plenty of extra cash to throw into my savings account too. I'm preparing to take my first ASE test in suspension and steering, and I've been talking to a local dealership about a possible basic tech position, which I may take advantage of as it has a lot of room for improvement.
Sorry for the novel, guys and girls. I guess I just needed some people to bitch to other than my girlfriend and bandmates. Things are looking up from here on.
