the uncertainty.

Tuesday, October 21, 2008
so you know that I started a new job almost 3 months ago... packed up and moved away from my hometown. and it's a good job--a little boring, but it pays way better than anything I've ever had, and will look really great on a resume. I had all these plans to really save up, and eventually move out to NYC.

then, i get an email in my work inbox yesterday that tells us all that Philips will be doing "restructuring", e.g. lay-offs.

Nothing more, nothing about when it will happen, where it will happen, or who is it going to happen to.

but it made me realize that nothing is certain; even though I got this job, I have no guarantee that tomorrow my job is going to be there. true, that is always the case, with every job that I have ever had, but i guess it definitely caught me off guard when i felt that for once things were falling into place.

i'm just going to keep taking it one day at a time... and be grateful for what i have, and the options that *are* at my disposal.
