I feel like I'm slowly making progress at work. I have been there three weeks and I feel like I have been there forever. Every day I tackle something new, something physical, so many things unexpected, it's like everyday is a new a week.. or even a new month. At least I don't feel as overwhelmed as I did toward the beginning of last week. I have gotten organized, I am beginning to meet some goals, I've been making headway with staffing, attendance, and communication with my team.
When good things happen, there is always that little something that makes you still worry. Well this week it wasn't something little, it was something big. My dad found out his company is moving to Arizona and he, and all my uncles and cousins who work there are losing their jobs of 15, 20, even 30 years, within months. My parents are beginning to plan, cut back, and hold off on things. It was a little depressing because it's the holidays and they just spent so much money on Angel's and Evey's Christmas presents on Black Friday, and my dad finds this out last Monday (The Monday after Thanksgiving). I am so thankful to God that it is "just" that. When my mom started the conversation on Monday night, she scared me, needless to say that I am very thankful that both of my parents are healthy, that my brother and sister are healthy and that my boyfriend and his family are healthy. There are just so many new cancer and N1H1 cases everyday that it is becoming scary.
The economy is wearing a lot of industries out, the housing market is still low, and even though it is a good time for us to buy a home, we're going to have to wait. The economy needs to improve, please improve. I hope my dad finds a job soon. They were really worried about health insurance and Angel. I was shocked that I didn't panic or worry as much as I would have when my mom told me, I guess in part I was a little relieved to hear my parents were healthy and I was relieved because it's something I can definitely help with.
I love you papi. I'm sorry your job is ending but we are all here for you and we will all support you and take care of you!
don't worry... it will all work out.
