workin' day and night

On Friday, my boss told me that I would be let go by the start of the Fall Semester. Honestly, for the last few months, I felt like I wanted to quit, due to the fact that I wasn’t getting a lot of hours, and the hours weren’t really that great for my schedule. Still, even though the situation was really tough, I always felt that the job was safe, and that I had a good hourly rate. Plus, with all the crazy unemployment in the country and in the state, recently, I’ve felt that just having a job was a good thing. Over the last few weeks, a lot of the staff members were going to union meetings to discuss scary things like furloughs and layoffs. So of course I had no reason to think my job was secure. Now that I’ve been given the warning and by the end of the month I’ll be unemployed, I’m scared. Over the last year and a half, I’ve been able to pay for my own expenses and had some sort of independence. It’ll be a weird feeling having to borrow money from my parents for awhile. Searching for a job will be rather difficult, given that most companies aren’t hiring and that I’m a full-time student. Wish me luck.
