***I GOT LAID...***

[Withywindle]

...off.


:(


I know I ain't special. I just want a hug.

[mainegreen]

1. That sucks.

:grouphug:

[Withywindle]

3. And not in a good way.

Thank you. :hug:

[bluesbassman]

2. Glad you're keeping your sense of humor...

Bummer about the job though, sorry to hear it. Keep your chin up, we'll get through this.:hug:

[Withywindle]

4. I have to.

It didn't really come as a shock, my company's been hemorraghing money and jobs for a while now. Still spent the day rapidly cycling through the Five Stages and hugging coworkers. I know the saying is, "laugh to keep from crying," but I just laugh because I'm utterly sick of crying. Crying gets so tedious.

:hug:

[SeattleGirl]

5. That sucks.

:hug:

[Withywindle]

6. Yup.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. My dear Withywindle!

You are special!

And I'm sorry this thread wasn't about what I thought it was about...


Hugs for you sweetie...:hug: :hug:

[Withywindle]

16. Aww, thanks so much!

Thing is, what this thread pretends to be about...so much more enjoyable. And so much easier to get. No problems where that's concerned. I'm just mourning the loss of my regular paycheck and health insurance. :(


:hug: :hug:

[emilyg]

[Withywindle]

32. Aw shit I'm sorry.

:hug:

[grace0418]

19. I'm so sorry. I was there just last Friday.

Right now I'm enjoying my freedom and the fact that I don't have to commute in the shitty weather Chicago has been having. But that's going to give way to panic if I don't get a job before my severance runs out.

:hug:

[Withywindle]

33. aw frak I"m sorry.

I still do have to commute in the shitty Chicago weather because I still have my part-time. (The main gig I got laid off from had benefits, but not enough income to pay the bill all by itself).

[progressoid]

20. Damn.

:hug:

[Withywindle]

34. Yup.

:hug:

[tigereye]

21. I am sorry, withy...

:hug:


what a weird year this is.... :(

[TZ]

22. Sorry to hear that

Too much of this going around. :hug: :hug: :hug:

[ThatsMyBarack]

23. Hug...

:hug:

[Haole Girl]

24. Oh, and here I thought this was a sex thread! lol

Seriously though, I hope you find an even better job. There are still jobs out there. It may be something you never thought you'd do, but please keep your chin up. :hug: Look at it this way- some people are quitting their jobs this month because some companies will offer early retirements. They are trying to get rid of the highest paid employees & will need to hire again soon. Also, some employees wait until December to quit just to get their Christmas bonuses, etc. That should provide some openings as well.

I moved to Texas without a job in January of 1989. Worked for a temporary agency a couple of weeks. It turned out, the second place I worked as a temp hired me after just a month.

Sending you good vibes & hugs...

[Bertha Venation]

25. Aw, Withy, I am so sorry.

:hug:

Shit.

[arcadian]

26. Cool username, I'm rereading LOTR.

On the Fellowship right now, just got to Bree. Sorry about your job.

:hi:

[Withywindle]

35. The chapters people rag on the most are my favorites.

I am all about the Old Forest, Tom Bombadil, Goldberry, Old Man Willow, the Barrow-Downs, and the Ents. :hi:

[applegrove]

27. (((HUGS)))

[LuckyTheDog]

28. I feel your pain

I got the boot in October.

[Lorien]

29. I'm so sorry

:hug:

I've been jobless for most of the past six months, so I understand all too well how you're feeling. :-(

[keroro gunsou]

30. i told you

that crawling up that's chicken's ass wouldn't end well for you. :evilgrin:

anyhoo, seriously, that has got to suck, especially right before x-mas. i got canned the week before thanksgiving, so it's not been a picnic for me either.

make merry the best you can during this time of year. friends and family can be a good source of merry... provided they aren't a bunch of douchehammers

my advice: enjoy the holiday week, since 99% of employers won't be hiring til after the holidays are over. marshal your resources, and plan an attack to regain employment. this is war, and war is hell.

[GOPisEvil]

36. Well that is a whole ration of suck.

Hope you find something else soon. :pals:

[supernova]

37. Sorry to say welcome to the club

:hug:

It'll all work out for the better.


For now, just try to enjoy the holidays.
