I know I'll get stick from some of the members on here who are less than sympathetic for the plight of the unemployed, but I've been festering in silence all weekend and have to vent...
On friday I went into the office to ask a question about a drawing, and as I was leaving the boss said "While you're here, we've had a look at the order book and the work's slacking off so in about 2 weeks we won't need you.. the 17th will be your last day."
"One of the big projects we were waiting for hasn't kicked off so we haven't got enough to keep 3 of you ( plus the 2 bosses and his wife who makes links for free ) busy."
"If it picks up again after new years we'll give you a call"..
All perfectly reasonable and understandable, but telling me at 2pm on a friday has ruined my weekend as I've been sat here fretting about going back on the dole and what to do about christmas...
The worst part is that because of the diet, my usual coping mechanisms aren't available ( junk food and alcohol.. )
I don't expect any sympathy, but I just needed to vent somewhere..
can't tell my mom and dad either or it will make them fret and ruin their christmas too...
