Welcome back Brianne...

It has recently been brought to my attention that I have been neglecting my blog for almost 2 months. Who knew? Without my job at Viking, I just don't think about computers much at all. I check my facebook on my phone but besides that I haven't thought twice about the computer. I talked to my sister Candice and my grandma recently and they pointed out that my last posting was updated on February 1st (Candices Birthday). This made me sad and I actually cried today when I logged in and read the post. February 1st was my last day at Viking Air. Without even knowing it, I wrote the last blog at 11:40 am, later to find out at 3:00 that I was going to be let go and that today was my last day. It was a shock, I won't deny that. Apparently, the Product Support team (my group) found out about it Thursday afternoon. Stacy (my friend) told me a couple weeks ago that she contimplated calling my Thursday night to just let me know. She didn't. Luckily, Chet, a friend from the team, told me at 3:00 when he left that today was my last day. I didn't believe him at first but started to worry. I took my break at 3:30 only to come back to Leona telling me that Edward wanted to talk with me in his office. It was like high school all over again hahahah. Already knowing what was going to happen definetly helped me out in that situation and for that I owe the biggest thanks to Chet. What a blindside. The reasoning for my layoff was "budget cuts" for the 2013 year at Viking and they were filling the reception position internally because it would be cheaper. So my friend Stacy got assigned the position and she doesn't even really enjoy it. My theory on their budget cuts is last year in 2012 they built 13 or 14 aircraft.....this year their goal is 21. So where does the money come from? less employees= more spending money for company. My parents didnt raise no fool. I know whats up plus there was a few employees let go before me and some that quit after me. Natasha says NO ONE is being replaced. Shocker there too.
After I left I found it comical the stories Stacy told me about when people asked about me.
Week 1: thought I was sick
Week 2: did Brianne go on vacation?
Haha I guess they miss me as much as I miss them. :(
After a month without work and the agency being pretty useless, I applied, interviewed, and got the job at Liquor Plus, where I am currently working Full Time. I enjoy it...its good to be back in the industry. I miss my 9-5 Monday-Friday job but I will get back into that. Its just very good to be working again, keeping sane, and making money. I definetly cannot afford any time off of working again.  Well this was my little update of what has been going on in life. I have the next two days off after today so I will be writing more later. Till next time...
