So if you only get your Erin info from this blog or Facebook or Twitter, you may have noticed I’ve been hinting at some news. I was hoping I could tell you a good story with a happy ending but I learned yesterday it was not to be. Not that it won’t eventually have a happy ending but this story will just go on a little longer than I thought.

Three weeks ago, I lost my job. My department’s services were consolidated which means my position and my staff’s positions were eliminated. They asked me to consider a position in Rochester, which I did and interviewed there. It sounded too good to be true and it was; it didn’t work out.

It sucks. And that’s all I’m going to say about it here on the blog. Jason still has a job there and I don’t believe he will also be laid off anytime soon. So, I’m going to ask that if any of you were thinking about bashing the company in my comments, please don’t. I may not be employed there anymore but they were good to me and I gained a ton of experience with them that I will take with me.

In the meantime, I have to find a job. On the one hand, I like that I get a chance to start over somewhere and not have to do things I didn’t like about my old job. But on the other hand, it’s almost too much because I could go in so many directions. And moving is definitely on the table so there are more options and expenses and what ifs to think about.

So, if you happen to hear about any job openings in a town near you for a computer whiz who loves to play with reports and numbers, knows some web development stuff and has managerial experience, hook me up. And if they also have openings for a photographer/videographer/journalist/substitute teacher/brilliant idea guy, that would be a plus.
