Unemployed!!

So for the first time in 35+ years, I am unemployed.  It feels really strange not going to work.  In July, we got a new commissioner at the Department of Public Safety.  On July 28th he set up a meeting with me for September 12th.  I thought possibly a new assignment or job responsibilities.  Nope, it was the end of the line.  The letter was already typed and the decision had already been made.  I was being terminated.  My last day was September 26th.

The previous commissioner was retiring, so his position was announced in June.  The interview process went through June.  I applied for the position and was one of five people who interviewed for the position.

Not sure if the new commissioner was uncomfortable with the fact that I had applied for his job, which he got, or what. 

So, I have updated the resume and have started to apply for positions.

Kind of a bitter pill to swallow that after 30 years, I was just let go.  Luckily I have my Master's Degree and some good work experience that should help me find another job.
