Soon to be 46 year old...seeking employment
There ya have it! The official word was, "I'm so very sorry, but we've decided that it was in the best interest (whose????) to downsize certain postions and yours was chosen (Yay for me!!!)
I didn't want to give him the benefit of seeing me shed tears but a few leaked out before I was out the door. I am the type of person that either loves my job or hates my job. I loved my job and the people I worked with. We were a family. My boss was THE greatest boss I've ever worked for.
I've got quite a few skills...but it all depends on whether there's a demand for those skills (no, humming old commercials won't qualify as a job skill).
Thanks for everyone's good wishes, prayers, concern, encouragement. It meant more to me than you'll ever know. I will hold my head up because I have friends like you all!
If any of you are in the Southern California area and have word on any job leads...please let me know!
PS -- You can expect me to still blog because something has to give with the creativity surges.

I had so hoped when my cell rang today that it was good news. How I prayed, and prayed. I knwo this is a challenging time for you, and yoru Boo. Please know GOD has something else INCREDIBLE for you.. while right now it may not seem so.. he does!
I'll call you tonight after the store, and Caleb time. HuGZ Girlie!
So so sorry!! But now you can make NEW elevator friends. I am sending THE MOST POSITIVE THOUGHTS EVER!! your way!! Keep us posted!! You are not alone, you have friends.
xoxoxo
There is no rhyme or reason it seems these days--it's just cleaning house and salaries left and right. It has been happening all around here too--but I will tell you that everyone I know out of work has found some recently, so hopefully it will be that way for you too.
Keep your chin up and start looking. Wish I was there to give you a big 'ol hug. I'm here for you when you need some support, my friend.
In the meantime--keep writing--it will help with the emotions of it all.
You are in my prayers.
Like everyone said, chin up and all, but dang! When you want to yell and rant about it, call me- I'll kick and scream with you :-)
And if you are in Los Angeles interviewing (or bridal shopping?), let me know, I'll meet you for lunch and give you a pep talk!
Hang in there. xoxoxoxoxoxo
Time between jobs is a gift, too--be sure to enjoy it, because you'll be wishing you had it when you're back working again.
Best of luck to you!
Maybe you could try participating in paid surveys. They can't replace your daytime job but you can earn some pocket money from them.

Sorry for my typing skills I did all that on my cell phone!
This is the first I've been home. It's 12:30am YIKES!
