Growing up I always heard the expression, “You don't know ___31___ you've got till it's gone.” These words have never really had much meaning to me until just ___32___. This happens to everyone at least once, not ___33___ the things we have. How would we know how ___34___ things are if we never get anything ___35___ away from us? Every day I have been taking 36 of things that could easily be taken away, like my job, friends, and pets.In this __37__, losing my job was one of the hardest things I've had to deal with about a year and a half ago I used to work for a retail store called Gottschalks. I worked for them for about two years. I worked in customer service and counted the vault for the store, which was balancing out the amount the store had made the day before. When I worked for the company I made pretty good money and got pretty good hours, but I would always find things to ___38___ about. I complained about things that did not really ___39___ when I should have been more thankful that I still had a job. This was around the time ___40___ the country began feeling the effects of the recession and businesses starting closing all over. That's when the rumors started going around that Gottschalks might be heading into bankruptcy, but still I felt I had no reason to worry.
