They told me my 90 days were almost up and after careful evaluation they decided to let me go. I asked what the reason was, if it had to do with my lack of prepress knowledge, and they said partly that but mainly it just wasn't a good fit. I knew I wasn't getting along with the woman I worked for (although I certainly tried!), and I think that was it. Strangely enough, in the last few days I'd been seriously thinking about how unhappy I was and thinking it was time to start looking for something else.
I was very upset at first, and still am to a certain extent, but I believe this will turn out to be something good. As long as unemployment benefits come through like I believe they will, I will be okay and have time to job hunt. Unemployment benefits are my main concern right now. Although I'm 95% sure it will go through fine, I can't help but worry about it.
I just hate uncertainty, and I hate that I keep getting let go. I've got to think things over and try to figure out why this keeps happening, and if there is anything I can do to avoid it, or if it is just something out of my control. There's definitely a trend, and some similar traits about each job, but there's also the economy, which give employers a much bigger pool of people to choose from, which may make them more willing to let someone go and try again.
Overall I'm okay for now, but it all keeps coming back to me and making me upset again. I guess I just have to give myself a chance to deal with it. It only happened in the last couple of hours or so! I'm going to TRY to relax and clear my head (we'll see how that goes).
