Well folks, I'm getting laid off.

[supernova]

:grr: The company I do contracting work for is "furloughing" (their word) a bunch of people for six weeks.

This is not good and I feel terrible right now. Kinda shell shocked because I just got told that today is my last day until
Oct 3..... maybe.

*sigh* I'm too depressed to cry.

9. Thanks, NSMA

This was not the Friday I had planned.

[Love Bug]

2. So sorry to hear that, "super"

That sucks! Been there, done that, hated it.

You'd think something with the word "laid" in it would be more fun!

[supernova]

10. Ha!

Thanks for making me smile.

[Love Bug]

21. Instead of "laid" it should be "screwed"!

I'm just sayin'

7. I'm so sorry, Supe

I was with ya right up until the sixth word in yer subject line... :pals:

[supernova]

16. Thanks SBP

:pals: for sure

[ugarte]

8. I'm sorry...I can relate

I hope you land something else. While you're still technically employed by this outfit, don't waste time before looking around.

I used to think I only needed to look for a job when I lost one. Now I realize that in order to stay one step ahead of the hammer I gotta look for a job while I still got one, because anyday they can just kick you out the door.

Keep your spirits up. It happens to everyone.

17. My contracting manager

wants my resume as soon as I can get it to him. I should try to do that before I leave today.

[Cathyclysmic]

14. Sorry to hear that...

may everything turn out will or something better comes along!:hug:

[supernova]

18. I hope so too

being without a job and being single is definitely scary. But I've been here before.

19. Don't worry... The sanctity of marriage is safe.
