history: I lost a job I had for many years. I wasn't sure what I would do, but I felt things would work out I was very disappointed that I was let go of a job I had had for years I'm sorry to hear that. Did they give you a severance package? Also_comma_ Do you have prospects for a future position? They did provide severance. I wasn't sure what to do but felt that things would work out At least they did that much for you. I'm sure you'll land on your feet. You seem like an optimistic type Well_comma_ actually I did end up getting a job that I like! That's wonderful! I hope you find fulfillment and a sense of purpose {not to mention a chunky wallet haha}
current: Thanks! The wallet's still a bit skinny, but I like the job, though!
next: Personally, I find that a job you enjoy that gets you by is superior to one that makes you a lot of money at the cost of your happiness
