Sooooo I got laid off Oct 4th and started a new job yesterday, the 17th. I just happened to hit the recruiter's office at the same time a position matching my skills came in. I'm in a 6 month contract to hire position for a local mortgage company. I feel VERY grateful to be back to work so quickly.

On another note, I kind of wished I worked 6 hour days, that would be ideal! I was having a hard time staying home with no work to do except house work and I hate housework! LOL But 8 hour days are LONG!

This job though just makes me miss my old one soooo much! I liked my last job and feel almost depressed that Im not there anymore. I think I am mourning it and taking it a lot harder than I thought I would have. I miss my coworkers, my friends, etc... this job I feel no real connection to anything yet. The technology is older, the manager is controlling and I don't see room for growth. I was told if they liked me they would offer me the perm position sooner than 6 months, but I am hoping to contract for the 6 months and probably leave. I don't think this is where I want to be. I hate only working for a paycheck.... and thats how I feel about this place. Buuuttttt.... its only day 2, so we'll see what happens.
