Get through the shift with the SKECHERS Work Bikers-Snapdragon sneaker. Smooth leather upper in a casual sneaker with bungee front laces. Extra Wide width is equivalent to a women's W or D width.

The Future

On March 4, 2010 somewhere between 8:30am and 9am, I was told by my manager that my position of 10 years with Verizon Business or whatever the company is called these days was eliminated. In 30 days on April 2, 2010 I would be seperated from the payroll. It's been about 2 days since I first received the news and I am still in shock.

I was at a screening of Brooklyn's Finest Thursday night. Anyone who knows me knows I don't miss a free movie screening :-) While I was in the theater watching the movie, it dawned on me that I don't have to get up to go to work in the morning. The reality of my unemployment truly sank it and it scared the Sugar Honey Ice Tea out of me.

It's 5:33am on Saturday and I can't sleep because my mind is cluttered with the worry and stress of uncertainty. I feel as if I am going through the stages of grief and truthfully I do not like it.

Since I have shared the news with family and friends, I have received support from everyone. In times like these, it is truly needed.

I'm attempting to keep a positive attitude and outlook on what the future holds. Keep me in your prayers.

2010 US Cenus jobs

About a month ago my pastor made an announcement that the government will be hiring workers on a part time basis with the 2010 census. I thought this would be a good way to make some extra money.

Last night was my testing appointment. It is truly entertaining to watch others in a testing environment. The tester explained the instructions to us as if we were in elementary school. As insulting as it sounds, it was actually necessary. Few people did have trouble with completing the application. As the 30 minute skills test begun, I began to think about the show "Are you smarter than a 5th grader"? The questions on the test are not SAT/ACT caliber but it does require you to use basic reading, math and analysis skills.

As I left the testing center, I thought about the possibility of being hired with the government as a census taker and how the job would be if I had to go door to door checking the status of homes. For $16.25/hour paid weekly, I will do it.

Today was Week 2 Day 3 of my C25K training. As I started out running at 5:10am I contemplated the chicken wings I ate for dinner last night. How they may cause me to drag in my running this morning. 45 minutes later, day 3 was complete. I continued on my day with getting ready for work
