Fired, Then Hired
A week ago, I was fired from my job at HealthSpring. I have no ill will towards the company or the people who work there, except my now ex-boss. But that's a story that will be told later. Needless to say, it's been brewing for the past few months.
However, I had already been planning to leave. I was let go on Friday afternoon, but received a job offer on Monday morning. To summarize, I'll be compensated better and have a much closer commute. I start on the 24th, so I'm just taking a little time to rest and relax.
At least I was prepared for potential unemployment. I had a fully-funded emergency fund. 6 months if I spent like a member of Congress, and probably 9 months to a year if I cut back on unnecessary expenses.
Before my firing, I was able to finish buying my bedroom furniture. As mentioned before, I bought a bedroom set and still haven't received it. I bought a mattress set last week at SleepWell Mattress Outlet on Nolensville, and got a great mattress for a great price. I also bought the sheets. Right now, I have a mattress sitting on the floor, but it's a damn comfortable one.
Again, there's a lot more going on than I was able to divulge, but I'm saving that for later.
