I just found out last week that when the sale on my apartment community closes next month I will no longer have a job. The new company (Grubb Ventures) has decided that they don't want to pay a manager's salary, and they will be hiring a less expensive leasing consultant to fill in for the next couple of years until they tear the place down. My current company won't have any work/budget for the 3 of us that run the apartment community, so they can't take us with them. My boss here at CCH was led to believe that my job would be secure, but as soon as contracts were signed Grubb changed their tune.

So I've already gotten a few resumes out...hopefully I'll be able to find something soon. I need to find a new apartment, too, which almost makes me sadder. I love my apartment!

I'm feeling completely bipolar...for the most part I have been able to look on the bright side and recognize that I'm completely bored in this job, and that this is a great opportunity to find something more interesting/better paying. But then by the time I get home every night and exhaustion/martini sets in, I become a blubbering heap of snot and mascara. Erich has been very understanding.

I must also point out that CCH has graciously offered me a severance package, which will help keep me afloat for a little while until I find something. I'm very grateful for that...I really don't want to have to settle for the first thing that comes along.
