Just Lost My Day Job.....I'm Devastated
To say I'm devastated is an understatement; it seems the whole world is crashing down on me. Yea, I definitely know it is not sensible to expect job security from a third party employer. The truth is that I'm least prepared for the current situation I found myself. I lost my day job some days ago!!!
It's no big deal to some people; but the little I earn from this job has been sustaining my family for about four years now. My employer called us (contarct staff) and told us our services are no longer required. Just like that! Without any compensation!!!
I earned around $500 monthly out of which, I spend almost half managing my mum's deteriorating health and the remaining on myself. This prevented me from saving much from the little I have left after taking care of my mum's bills. In the last few years...I hardly have time for any other thing as this job took away almost all the free time that could be available to me. I resume at work at 7:00am daily and I get back home at 10:30pm (Monday - Saturday).
It really a crazy job...I'm always too tired to achieve anything meaningful whenever I get home at night. I could barely achieve anything before sleeping off in front of my laptop. In spite of these challenges, I was determined to build another source of income through affiliate marketing; I managed to put up two sites with a minimum of 150 unique and well written articles on each. Both were destroyed by almighty Google with their various updates.
My current situation is made worse because I'm in the process of looking for accommodation, as my girlfriend is pregnant and I still don't know how to tell her about my job loss. The effect could be devastating as she is yet to get a job. Thinking about everything makes me feel like crying...I actually shed tears for the first time in years.
The pressure could have been a lot less if my girlfriend and mum were not in the picture. I now force myself to go out every morning for my mum not to be suspicious. Still don't know how I'm gonna cope with the financial pressure.
I'm trying my best possible to cheer myself up; believing the best is yet to come. The truth is that getting another day job is out of it. It's gonna be extremely difficult due to the economic situation here. If I'm lucky to get any...the pay could be a lot worse than my last job. I've decided to focus on internet based business for now...to see how it goes.
In the last few days...I have been ruminating some ideas and how to go about implementing them. I have categorized them into short term, medium term and long term goals; truth is...I'll never build a business that is totally Google dependent again.
The short term goals idea that I came up with is working as virtual assistant. I really need this to raise cash to take care of my immediate financial needs. I would be extremely glad to get some offers here as I have a couple of skills that I could put to use. I think this is what I need most at the moment to ease the huge pressure on me. I would be extremely glad to get help here. I can't even tell my mum what's happening to me. HELP ME OUT GUYS!!! I REALLY NEED IT!!!
