For the past 3 years since I left Neiman Marcus I’ve been working temporary jobs through a temp company. Two of those years I managed to secure a pretty solid job in temp status but never a permanent one.

Lately they’ve been mumbling about the budget and have yet to sign off on said mumbly budget. So in all of the waiting I’ve had ears open and heard enough to know that I’m no longer safe from the cutting board. This prompted me to have a very frank discussion with my boss about the situation and he said “prepare for the worst”.

With those glorious words planted in my head, I of course have turned the gears up there and created the Brad version of that statement… “be prepared to pack your shit”.

I’ve gained quite a lot of usable knowledge from working for this company so I won’t say it sucks. Plus with a possible month and a half warning of a pending end I can be quicker to put on the breaks to excess expenditures.  Bye bye Starbucks .

For now it’s a battle with myself to try and figure out what exactly it is I want to do for a job. It’s about time that I move forward into what I want to do for a while. What that is? I don’t know.

I’m meeting with my career councilor at UTD tomorrow to take a look at my resume and see what I can do to find that path.
