So for now, here are 12 songs/song titles about that very thing. After reading this, check out my story about being laid off the very same day I had jury duty!

17 songs for being laid off or fired

It’s been almost 4 years since I was abruptly laid off from a full-time job in Nashville, Tennessee and after another round of extremely unceremonious layoffs at this same company (lots of these folks I’m still friends with, so I hear about the drama weekly), I decided to do something completely unoriginal. There are plenty of these lists out there, but here’s my Spotify “Just Been Fired or Laid Off” playlist.

Hint: it’s basically all about the song titles. Enjoy!

A mission trip to Eleuthera, Bahamas

Hi there! I’ll try to keep this short! Back in 2018 my brother mentioned a missions trip his church from Orlando is making to a small island called Eleuthera, a few inches (on a map) east of Nassau in the Bahamas. With the hustle and bustle of holidays and holiday traveling, the invite to go with him got shuffled to the back of my mind. As the dates approached, though, it became forefront on my mind. Now I’d even consider this last minute because I wasn’t sure I should go until very recently and the trip is about a month away (March 17-22). After prayer, and way overthinking it, and discussions with friends and family, I’ve decided to go. This was not an easy decision because to make this trip happen I need help and I’m not one who typically seeks out help. Yet here I am.

Donate here through my Facebook fundraiser page.

This trip is all about the people of this island, serving through an organization called Camp Bahamas. We’ll be helping in ways that actually fit my personality pretty well… manual labor like fixing cabins, water systems, house foundations, and then with VBS which will include Bible studies, music, crafts, and sports. I’m very average in all these areas but still can’t wait to use this average-ness to make at least one person’s life better. I believe that Jesus wants to carry our burdens, I know he’s carried mine time and time again, and I want to share that challenge when I have the opportunity. Thank you for any support you can offer, and please message me for more information!

Removing Google search bar on Android

If you have an Android device like I do, first of all you’re awesome, and secondly, you may have noticed in a recent update there’s a handy dandy search bar locked in at the bottom of your home screen. As customizable as phones are, I hated to say “locked in” but that’s exactly the case! Take a look at my home screen and see what I’m talking about at the bottom.

Something about it is just awkward. Maybe it’s too close to the 3 bottom touch buttons. Is it one of those things we’ll grow to like and then wonder how we ever survived without it being at the bottom? Time will tell, but one thing is for sure– without third-party help, SearchBarGate is a real thing and per to my conversation with Nokia support (I have a Nokia 6.1), the search bar cannot be moved, removed, or in any way fixed. Here’s the conversation.

I have to give kudos to Nokia for having sympathy, and appearing to be as annoyed as I am with #SearchBarGate.

Also kudos to you for searching out my books on Amazon… great Christmas gifts for children you love, or even just sorta like.

Ok, there is a solution to this dilemma Google has caused. I found a message board that recommends Nova Launcher, an app that can be used to customize your phone’s home screen, apps, and most importantly, remove the search bar. I’ve downloaded it and so far so good. I’ll update more as the ongoing saga continues but until then, keep being your awesome self… and if you feel motived to make a change, voice your complaints in the social atmospheres using #SearchBarGate.
