Canned, F-ing Wonderful!!!

I was just fired from my "dream job." YES-- effing fired! I'm moving out today, this laptop belongs to the company in which I was employed and I am obligated to a lease which NOW I am uncertain if I can afford. I'll make it all work somehow. F my old employer:uzi2: and a better job awaits. I'm stressing of course and will not have computer access for at least a week (my desktop is in storage). If I'm not around for a while, I'll be back and I'll miss you guys. EVERYBODY be good to yourselves and look out for numero uno- which would be YOU!

Must be something better waiting in the wings... HP does what it takes. (smile)

I say this after having been "reduction in force" (RIF) out of a job I held for 13 years and had ALL of my self-esteem tied up in.

HP saw what was coming in my life, and got me where I needed to be... thank goodness. Had I had that big responsible job when my kids developed addiction - I would have take the fast way off this planet, I think. I got where I needed to be... right when I needed to be there.

((((Mega))))

Take care of you and we will keep your place here warm.

Something will bend... try not to stress it too much. Now you have some time to unpack and make the new place nice!

Sending thoughts of hope and encouragement your way - Sure that doesn't really help right now - deal with the feelings of anger, grief, sorrow and confusion - don't stuff them - feel the feeling - and give it to your HP -
He's waiting with open arms.

Remember, no matter what, you and your HP will be better than OK

One Day at A Time,
Rita

Thanks so much everyone and that is said with a tearful eye. I just got finished packing and unloading the rest of my things into storage w/the kind help of BIL and SIL.

I have not really had the time or the energy to deal with my feelings about being fired. I am angry about it, but I am stressing my finances and my new commitment to my lease more than anything. I do believe that all things happen for a reason and I feel that a better job does await me. I just wish that all of this could have waited until after I was moved in and "officially" divorced for crying out loud!

To my somewhat surprise, my AH cried for me when he found out I was fired. As intoxicated as he's been most of the time, even he knows what effort and pride I put into my work. He offered me a place to stay w/him and his roommate if things get too tough. I thanked him and believe it or not, at this point it is comforting that I'm not "totally thrown out to the dogs." I will do everything in my power to survive this ALL MY OWN THO.

I will go to the library Monday and will hopefully be on the internet searching on monster.com and the local ads. I'm also thinking of filing for unemployment. Thanks for keeping my seat warm for me here and I love all of you. You all inspire me.
