EPTI really loved this job, and I was making plans with my supervisor to get an apprenticeship in another department just last Friday, so things were looking good for me.
Unfortunately the project I had been working on wasn't the most profitable for the company, and I was let go. That kinda thing happens, and I've accepted it. But it still doesn't stop the depression that comes with changes for the worse.
Tonight I was feeling really down about the whole thing and I went to Teamliquid.net in my moment of need. Luckily for me, I got here when Day[9] was just starting, and I love that nerdy bastard, so I clicked on his stream and hopped into his Funday Monday for the week.
I was instantly laughing. But for some reason, I was crying too. The laughing and sobbing were hard to separate, but I wasn't sad at all. I was happy. Happy that, even at a low point in my life, I'd be able to come here and instantly be cheered up.
Teamliquid isn't the only place that I can find comfort of course, but it just reminded me that emotions are just as fleeting as anything in life that seems permanent, like for instance, a job. So I write this blog in hopes of encouraging anyone else, who's in a rough time in their life, to just soldier on. Things change for the worse all the time, but they change for the better too.
chin up though, plenty more fish in the sea! By which I mean, get a job being a fisherman xD
