Lifestyle Change

This past week was not so great for me as far as my work life goes. After 19 years at the same company, I was layer off. I knew that changes were coming because the hazardous waste industry in Alberta is directly affected by crude oil prices. It was not the change I was hoping for but I knew it was a possibility.

It is not only the loss of income, but also the loss of a vehicle, phone and computer. So now you have yo come up with money to replace these items while being unemployed.

To be honest, I am not sure where I am going to go from here as I have no plans as of yet. I am going to take a couple of weeks to get some things done around the house that I have not had time for.

Overall, I am in an okay place because there is nothing I believe I could have done to avoid this. I am also looking at it as being a new opportunity to maybe switch my career and try something new that I will enjoy more and be passionate about.

Beside, I will also have an opportunity to get in more Kung Fu training (Monday/Wednesday morning class from time to time). It will also allow my wife the opportunity to get more rest as I am able to do more around the house.

So yes it is unfortunate and the emotions run from anger, to shock to relief but in the end there is nothing you can do to change it so just have to move on with your life. no I just need to figure out what I want to be in life.
