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.

I'm absolutely sure you'll get something else soon, but still...I know from experience that it can be a worry while you're between jobs. {{hugs you}}

I'm sorry that you're jobless, mama!

*hugs*

Even when it's not a surprise unemployment still sucks.

I hope you enjoy your time off and are able to find a job you really like when you want one. :)

Eek, I'm sorry to hear that. Hope things work out for you the way you want them to. Good luck. *hugs*

ooof. I hope that your time off before the holidays feels like a gift, and that you find something both fun and lucrative when you are ready for it.

To the extent this is a problem, I'm sorry to hear it. May you find the job you want, when you want to, and enjoy the time off until then.

I hope your unemployment is no longer than you want it to be and leads to a new job that you love!

[sdelmonte]

Sorry to hear. Hope you find a new job soon.

And if want to read comics, I bet the Brooklyn library system has as many TPBs as Queens.

Sorry to hear of your job ending. Hoping the right position comes along shortly!

I'm sorry to hear about that. I hope everything works out well in the end. It sounds like it will.

Sorry to hear it. Best wishes in finding a replacement when you want it, and meanwhile, enjoy the time off.

*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.

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.)

[hillarysherwood.livejournal.com]

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!

[roadnotes.livejournal.com]

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*

[castiron.livejournal.com]

Best wishes for finding a new job!

[spiderine.livejournal.com]

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.).

[digitalwave]

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!
