And so... my situation finally hit me and i took in its full effect.

I was laid off a little over a week ago. Our company has been super slow and basically there was no more work for us. Our work depends on bids for jobs... and well, we lost all of them to other companies. So yea, they had to kick some of us. There's only 3 of them left... and i heard they might shut down the office. I kinda saw it coming, so it didn't really surprised me that i was laid off. I was kinda like, "eh, whatever." The past week, I've just been chillin' and concentrating on school. It felt so weird no working.

Yesterday, I was out with some friends at the mall. Maybe half way through shopping, a slight case of depression hit me. There's so much s**t that I would like to buy, but hey, no job - no money. I do need to watch what I spend now. I do need some nice dress slacks (one black and one gray), a fancy dress belt, and maybe a couple nice ties. Ties are no problem, but my body size makes it very difficult for finding pants/belts. Typical men's smallest size is 30 waist... and i'm too damn tiny that size 28 is hard to find for dress pants (or belts). Maybe that's why I don't currently have slacks. So this didn't help my little state of mind.

The whole past week, I've been looking through those job search engines. I haven't submitted any applications, but just browsed. It looks like I'll be stuck with another boring office job. I guess it's reality, you know? I hope i get to do something semi-fun though. I think I finally have a possible future career path:

- Web Developer/Web Design for some company
- Work in the Entertainment Field - Music, Games, Movies (not actually be the musician or star, but work with their company/label/agency)
- Work dealing with Astronomy and Space

And I'll throw out my dream occupation for kicks:

* Model - maybe develop into an Acting Career

That would be extremely difficult since I never started that path (while many kids start modeling when they're 8 or something). Heck, I never even taken Theater in High School. But I have always found it fun whenever I was on stage or making Video Projects for class. Those were the good times.

Alrighty, I think I've ranted enough. Some of you noticed that there's been something bothering me. =) Thank you for your warm comforts. Much appreciated~

And don't worry, I'll be my good ol' happy go klutzy 'KA' self again in no time. whee
