That was rough...
I have been with B since Thursday, came home yesterday afternoon when my Mom picked me up to do lunch with her and Sarah and then take me home to get ready for a few friends coming over. This morning I had a few pieces of mail from Saturday. I still have not received the letter from my work they told me I would be receiving soon outlining my termination on 5/31 (due to not being able to hold my job any longer) and information on COBRA. So, imagine my surprise when I opened up something from ADP, the company that administers COBRA for our corporate office. It stung quite bit, especially since it said my termination was effective 5/16 and not 5/31, as I was told by my boss in his voicemail that my term date would be. And it states I should have received more comprehensive information on COBRA and our plan from NSAD prior to receiving this, I have received NOTHING.
WTF?!?!?!?!!?
So, tears in my eyes, I read the information. It will be almost $800 a month for insurance. Almost $400 just for D for medical (she is 18 and healthy - that seems outrageous). I am looking into getting her her own Kaiser Insurance, she loved Kaiser when we had it before I switched her over when I got my last job.
Selling the car may come quicker than planned, as in I may not be able to be as patient to get a good price.
I got pissed, and hurt that only one person besides my wonderful boss called to tell me they were sorry to hear the news. He is really the only person who checked on me fairly often as well, and surprisingly the one I miss the most. People suck. What sucks the worst is that two people I thought I would stay close with have not had any contact with me in ages, not even for my birthday (and I make huge deals out of everyone's birthday at work and spoil them)! :(
So, late this afternoon, Danielle took me to my now *former* job and I got all my shit out of there while everyone was gone for the holiday. I could not take doing it with them there, it would be way too tough and painful!!! The extra shitty part was that there was a box of some of my stuff, but tons of other stuff (better stuff that people could use) still all over the place!! Being sad and pissy, it hit me the wrong way, I am sure it was not their intention, but it made it all the more difficult.
What also sucks is there is tons of shit I left there that is *mine*, namely notebooks and binders I organized on new polices, Federal Regulations, etc. Oh, and the big scholarship binder I spent hours doing research on, as well as my Financial Aid and Scholarship Boards that I spent my own money on to make them look nice and spent much time on as well to keep my students well informed. I would never take those, because they are for my students! But, seeing my office looking the way it did and having some of my stuff packed up hit a nerve. Oh, yes it did!!! Danielle freaked out by the way I was acting, she has not seen EVER seen me indignant AND just plain angry all at once before. I needed to get out of there quick!! I lost it in the car as we drove away, and cried much of the way home. Bye, bye, bye NSAD....
And, now, I sit here heavy hearted and hurt backed (from grabbing my stuff and putting it in the car) bawling my eyes out because now that I have received something *official* regarding this, it has finally sunk in!!!
Holy shit, I had no idea it would be this tough....
