The day I lost my job, I woke up and thought it was Monday.
It was 8:00 am.
I had to get up and go to work.
There was no time for an old man who had already turned 50 to laze about in bed.
However, I had no idea that in a short while, I would be able to spend the morning lying down for as long as I wanted.
I would have nothing to do anyway.
After losing my job, I felt a little numb.
Maybe it was because this job was the only one I’d ever had.
After working for so many years, I didn’t even know who I was anymore.
I’d been busy with work for so many years that I’d never had the chance to think about whether I liked it or not.
I’d been paid my salary on time and kept working like a machine, so there was no need for me to think about it.
Looking back on it now, it seems like such a waste.
I’d never experienced the joy of working, but after losing my job, I felt like a lost soul.
I sat on the sofa in the living room, staring blankly at the TV.
After a few minutes of silence, the TV suddenly turned off by itself.
In the reflection of the black screen, I saw my own grey hair and glasses.
It was hard to believe that this old man was me.
I looked around the house that was piled with rubbish and sighed dejectedly.
I didn’t know when I had started living like this, but when I looked around, the place was filled with items related to work.
There were design sketches, work materials, and all sorts of things were piled up high on the floor.
Suddenly, I felt a little disgusted with myself.
Why did I spend my life like this?
In the beginning, when I first started this job, it wasn’t too bad; at least my coworkers were pretty good, but after my boss got changed, everything went downhill from there.
The new boss didn’t like me very much, and he also liked Michael Johnson very much as well.
He gave Michael a raise and took away all of my work benefits.
I always felt like something was wrong and so did my best to do everything the way he wanted me to do it.
I never thought that he would still find an excuse to fire me one day.
If I had known earlier on that he would fire me eventually, I wouldn’t have been working my butt off for the past few years just so that he could benefit from it!
I grabbed an empty bottle and smashed it against the wall fiercely.
I needed to let out the anger within me in one way or another!
After a long while, the empty bottle of wine lay on the ground with shattered pieces around it.
I sat down on the sofa again and gradually calmed down.
What should I do now?
When should I start looking for a new job?
What if no one wanted to hire me?
These questions lingered in my mind like ghosts in the night, making it difficult for me to sleep at night.
I spent the next few days lying on the sofa and thinking about these issues that troubled me greatly.
