The Loss of a Job
February 14, 2008He was certain that he was right and no matter what, he always had his dignity. No one had as much expertise as he had with his life and he was not going to buy into what I thought about his life.
Sir, can you tell me what it is I think of your life?
I don’t know but I am just telling you that I’m just not a person who is going to swallow what you say because you’re a counselor. My wife reads your blog and then tells me about what you say.
So what is it that you disagree with?
Well, nothing so far. My wife tells me I should see you because I’m depressed after I lost my job. So I just want you to know that I am not depressed.
How are you dealing with losing your job?
Well I feel fine. I just feel a little beat up emotionally. It’s tough to lose a job to amalgamation. I never thought I would be the one that was let go.
And why is that sir?
Well, I was the core of the office and there for 18 years. So when this happened I was pretty shocked and I still can’t believe that it is true.
Well sir, is their anything secure in life, really?
Apparently not! I thought there was but I guess not.
So how long has it been since you lost your job?
About two months now!
How do you spend time your time now?
That’s the funny thing. I feel it’s not real and I just don’t have any motivation to go out and look for a new one. My wife says I’m acting a little strange and I believe her. I guess.
What do you think is strange?
Well I’m a person who always was a go-getter and into whatever it is I do. Now that I lost the job I could give a sweet pickle about anything.
Well sir what do you give a sweet pickle about?
