Clarification on my FB status update, in case you were wondering

I actually removed it.  Probably shouldn't have put it up in the first place.  I should have figured people would ask for a clarification, and I shouldn't get into on FB quite yet, as my Realtors don't know yet.

So, it started last night.  Ty called me at 10:30 hysterical.  His girlfriend of nearly a year broke up with him and he was devastated.  I was on the phone with him (he was at his Dad's last night) for nearly an hour.  I'm hurting for him and I'm worried.  Teens can be so serious about relationships (hell, I remember I was) and I just get worried that he's going to be "too" upset, ya know?  He was so hurt when his first girlfriend and he broke up, but this one seems harder on him.  So anyway, it started with that.

Then today I was told by the owner of my company that this will be my last week.  Now granted, I don't technically work there anymore (I go in to help them out in the hopes that I can get back on the books, and our Realtors don't realize I don't really work there anymore either) but after 12 years it's hard to face that this really is the end.  Plus, it's been so drawn out.  A part of me is kind of relieved that it's just over.  But a part of me wasn't quite ready to stop going in.  Oh well. 

But, the worst part was, the second I walked through the door after leaving the office I got an email from the people I interviewed with last week saying I didn't get the job.

So even though none of this is life ending or anything...it was just kind of a lot to take in all in less than 24 hours.  I'm drained man.

Thanks for asking about me ladies!

  • Oh honey. I'm sorry...Why does it always seem like crap just piles on and on and on, all at once...UGH! I hope Ty is okay. He is a good kid, you are a great mom. High school 'romance' is so hard and dramatic.

    I am so sorry about your job. I don't even know anything I can say, but I'm thinking of you and hope something comes up soon for you. It seems like you have a lot of good contacts and a lot of people who really like you so hopefully something will come up quickly for you.

  • aww Pammy *hugs*  a shitty 24 hours indeed.  Here if you need me for ANYTHING.
  • That is a lot to deal with.  I'm sorry for all you are going through.  It certainly sucks.

    Hope Ty is feeling better today heartbreak is tough for anyone.

  • Oh Pam, I am so sorry !  I really hope things turn around. ((((HUGS)))))
  • Why is it when it rains it pours? That is a lot to have to deal with in a short amount of time. And I remember how I was in relationships when I was that age....man that's tough!

    Oh man, Pam, that's a whole lot of crap in a short span of time.  So sorry to hear about Ty and his girlfriend.  It sucks, but it'll be okay and he'll get by.  Breaking up is no fun at all, regardless of the age! 

    Big bummer about the job situation.  I hope something comes around soon.  This economy blows.

     

  • Bad things come in three's so it should be nothing but good things to come for you now!

     I'm sorry about all the bad.
