I am unemployed

[mamadeb]

This was not a surprise - I've been waiting for the job to end, as the business was doing VERY badly - boss had mortgaged his house to support it.

And I do appreciate that they let me enjoy the vacation before, well, extending it.

I'll get unemployment, I could use the time not working before Yom Tov (wasn't planning on doing much paid work during Elul), I have another project in the works. It will be fine. Plus Joel said he'd write me the highest recommendation, and I believe him.

I will, however, give up comic books (not a sacrifice - I've been losing interest) and start doing my own laundry. :)

And, who knows? Maybe I'll write a bit more.

True. I am enjoying getting to sleep in late. *G*

*hugs* I hope you enjoy the time off, and that something wonderful comes along when you want to go back.

I'm very sorry to hear it.

Sorry to hear this, but good luck with your search and best of luck on your next adventure.

I'm sorry about this!! Unemployment, even when expected, is no fun. I hope you take some time to unwind/regroup/enjoy yourself, before jumping back into the working world again.

Thank you. I hope to do the last, and I've already gotten some ideas (and even a possibility of free lance writing.)

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

Thank you! *HUGS*

Yeah. It'll all work out, though. I can, at the very least, substitute teach again.

Thank you!

I am definitely taking the time. I am waiting until the Jewish holidays are over before looking seriously - I can just enjoy being a housewife for a while.

What field do you work in? (I can hand a resume into my company, but definitely no clue if they would be looking for someone with your skill set.)

My condolences. It sounds a lot like what happened to me. Even when the writing is on the wall, it's still a shock when the job actually does end. Good luck with the job hunt!

Ick. Even knowing, it's never pleasant. Best wishes for a short (well, as short as you want) search and an excellent new job.

we can be unemployment buddies.

*fist bump*

Best wishes for finding a new job!

I've been a secretary/receptionist/administrative assistant/office manager for over seven years. I know Word very well, and Excel for forms. I'm comfortable with searches. I'm also very good on the phone and comfortable with learning new phone systems, and with talking people through procedures.

Thank you!

Thank you!

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

We can!

Thank you!

Oh shit! I just saw this. That sucks! *hugs* I will send you much good job-finding energy.

[estherchaya.livejournal.com]

very sorry to hear that, but glad that it's happening under reasonable circumstances (good timing with the upcoming holidays, good recommendation, extending your vacation, etc.).

Send me your resume (you have my email, I think) and I will relay it to the HR department here.

Also, while looking on my company web page, I saw this listing that might be a match for you.

Sweetie,

I'm so sorry about your job. I've been there and I know just how scary that can be, no matter how well you might be prepared for it.

Know we're here if you need us and if there is anything I can do to help, just ask.

*hugs*

Sigh. Been there and done that, many a time. Hoping for de-stressful downtime for you and a smooth transition into a great new position. Hugs and good wishes!
