Guest Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I'm normally not a huge fan of samples like that, but I think they fit perfect on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themeconspiracy Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 well. that was a fucking day. after weeks of speculation, finally got the word that my division of the company is officially being shuttered. never fun spending a day seeing all your friends and coworkers get laid off. not to mention totally heartbreaking to see the amazing website we've worked so hard building up and put so much love and sweat into over the past year and a half all come to a screeching halt and rendered irrelevant in an instant. fortunately, as i'm under contract and not staff, it looks like i'll get to at least ride out the rest of my contract. although, since the entire department i was working for was eliminated, not a damn clue what i'll be doing for the next few months if they even keep me around that long. there were several expensive bottles of champagne consumed earlier as people made final (excellent) use of their corp cards. i've now moved on to drinking hard root beer at home and trying to dance out my feels to the loved ones. going into a mostly empty office tomorrow is gonna be awkward and awful and super depressing. saying "i'm super fucking bummed" doesn't even really begin to sum it up right now.

I am so sorry to hear all of this. The only good thing is that you still have your job even if it's short term. It's really sad to see your whole workplace torn apart like that. I guess this makes the decision to move out of your town a lot easier ? Once again, I'm really sad to read all of this, I knew how much work you put into your job and it sucks to see this happen to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad Heart Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Best of luck to you, L, although you won't need it. Just take it as a sign of new and better things to come. You'll take your experience, both good and bad, and be able to have even more valuable and satisfying things in the future. Spin your favorite album and look forward to a future of possibilities.

I am sending posi vibes. thanks guys . your support means a lot <3 i really just need to get out of this city and out of the media industry. i've been saying both of these things for years and i think this is just the last straw. it's now or never. i need to get my shit together and figure out what i'm going to do and where i'm going to go after this. it's a big question and totally overwhelming and terrifying. i've also pretty much done more or less the same job for 9 years. even though i'm awesome at it, i know it's a dead end and i need to get out. i've know this for a while. but every time i try to figure out what direction to go in, i struggle because i have no idea what else i want to do or what else i can really translate all my skills and talents into.
