Right there with you, OP.
After 5 months of part-time retail, I just landed a nice paying job ($550 a week) and could finally support myself. Was doing well at the job, heard nothing but good words from my trainers, supervisor, even one of the owners. Then last Tuesday I got a call saying, "Yeah, don't come in tomorrow. You're not needed anymore, your contract has been terminated. Thank you."
Now I have to pay rent, car payment, food, utilities, etc. and I only have $1200. I'll get some help from my mom, but if I can't find anything soon I'm screwed in about 2 months, maybe even 1.
And just last month I had my heart broken into a billion pieces as well, so fuck me, right?
shit man.. thats rough, really rough. i swear, if i ever become a millionaire i'll track you down and send you minimum $5000, RyanardoDaVinci.
Are there no open positions at the hospital? Check job listings and see if there is another department you could work. They may prefer someone who already has experience with the location and staff.
this is a possibility, there might be openings at some point among the personnel who transport food etc around the hospital complex (it's a gigantic place with tunnels etc, and i know every place like the back of my hand). thanks for reminding me. that job would be hella boring compared to transporting patients though, lol.
Sucks man. Got to do your best to keep your head up, even if you gotta fake it. Keep your relationship in tact as best you can. I recently lost pretty much everything when my condo went up in flames last week (I'm a complete dipshit moron, no renters insurance), I'm a wreck but I'd be totally lost and miserable without my girl friend.
shit. why are some of us so damn unlucky? and i'm embarrassed to admit but i'm a dipshit moron as well, because guess what.. i could have a joined a union, and they'd be paying me soon. for like the first two years i actually thought the union wouldn't take temp workers, but apparently they do. i learned that, but still didn't join. i was 100% certain i wouldnt need to, that my employment would continue, i actually thought a good work ethic and doing a little extra every day would ensure i wouldn't be suddenly let go of..
