Not me....Never

Well here I am, living the life I never imagined for myself - unwillingly unemployed. If you're like me, you're reading this on your couch or in the comfort of your own home, in your jammies or comfort clothes thinking "I should be getting ready for work tomorrow." That was my reality until one day that all changed.

As of Friday, August 7, 2009 I was officially unemployed. I've always worked for Fortune 500 companies as a Financial Analyst/Accountant and was on a fast track toward a successful career. My last job positioned me in a place in which I could have the opportunity to manage employees (whoo scary) and gain all kinds of knowledge about the business to best position myself for upward growth. I was a part of a start up team designed to centralize and systemize Accounting effort across the business. Helloooo....team expansion & strategic alliance here I come!!! Headed towards making close to 6-figures, I was doing well for myself. Great job, nice place to live in a good part of town, reliable car (gotta be a Honda, ofcourse), the ability to stuff my face at nice restaurants, and the comfort of jet-setting if I so choose. So I'm thinking life can only go up, let's make this thing happen. Errrrrrrrkkkkkkk....my world came to a screeching halt at 10:00am Friday morning, when I was politely escorted out of the building. No I didn't cause a scene and go kicking and screaming all the way out the door, although I had some choice words for my former boss, it's company policy that HR walk you down.
Life as I knew it was now sitting on my couch watching Soap Opera's, HGTV and Oprah, thinking what the heck do I do now.
