OK. Where do I even start? Thanks for all of the advice. I’ll let you know how things go from here.
First things first, I filed for unemployment. I know the company’s gonna try to fight it, but I’ve heard that they don’t fight very hard. I won’t be surprised though, if they fight hard against me, because for some reason, they have treated me like ASS through this whole ordeal. I guess they think I’m a pushover. I hate them, but I don’t want to waste any more energy throwing this out into the universe. The best thing that I can do is (once again, try to) move on.
Other than THAT mess/debacle, I’m doing really well right now. I can’t even begin to explain to you how much I’ve needed some time off…away from the insanity. Away from never quite knowing what Boss and her menopausal hormones were going to do. It’s amazing how things can go downhill so quickly. The last 6 months had been terrible and I hadn’t been sleeping. I have worked every weekend since I got back from Costa Rica (November), and right now I’m enjoying some very much needed time off.
I have already accomplished some things: speeding ticket taken care of, hair cut, loft clean (for the most part), meeting with Matt, meeting with Maria (asked her to mentor me), figuring out a new gym schedule. Exciting, yes? I know, very boring to some, but oh so refreshing to me!
I’m planning outings with friends. I’m relaxing. I’m starting to read again. I’m sleeping like a baby! I’m working out, and I’ve stopped smoking. All within a few days.
I know this situation is not ideal, but for right now, it’s alright.
*AARRRGGHHH! EDIT*
Just got a call from my friend M. I used to work for her back in the day and she still works for my ex-company. She knew what was going down within the company. As a matter of fact, she recently got DEMOTED during all this bullshit. And that’s a whole other story!
She called me and left a message, telling me that she had an “interesting conversation” and wanted to tell me about it.
When I called back, she told me that she ran into my ex-boss in the hallway or something yesterday and she had asked about how I was doing. M told her that I was pretty numb and still sorting through the whole thing.
And then M told me that ex-boss started CRYING (hormones, remember?) and wanted to CONTACT me!
I stopped M right then and there and said, “FUCK NO!”
(what IS it with all these crybaby “exes” who want to contact me?!)
But then I had to back up a bit, because I wanted to hear the rest of the story.
Ex-boss told M that there are a lot of people who want to contact me, and that she’s also interested in getting me in touch with some other folks in NYC, etc. and she’d asked for at least an email contact.
I gave M my email address, but asked her to hold onto it for a day or so while I sort through all of this. I don’t want to hear a peep from my ex-boss, but I’d really like to hear from others…especially if there are some opportunities available.
How do I handle this one?
