Soda — You are such a trooper. I *know* good things are going to come your way!

Tori — I don’t blame you! I don’t know what I would do if I lost my job.

TT — I am going to try to adopt that attitude on Monday morning … it’s not always easy for me to be less self-centered.

B00ger — Yeah, it was rough. I think you would have been as upset as the rest of us at how it all went down.

Jen — Morale is pretty much in the crapper … which is definitely how you get fewer people to do more work, right? Le sigh.

SC — The industry totally sucks. It’s getting more and more difficult to believe in what we do, at least on the corporate side.

TMP — Thanks! I have to remember to express my appreciation more often … and in a more timely manner.

Ari — Wow. That must have been quite a life-changing moment for you. I’m glad everything worked out for the best!

I had a complete stranger sit down and talk to me about my last relationship, which was abusive, and he really put things in perspective for me. I figured if a stranger could see something wrong about the situation I was in, then I should probably take another look at it. I never thanked him, but my DH and I see him around occasionally and always buy him a beer.

Sorry to hear about all the layoffs - that’s scary…I try to be grateful for my job, but its hard some days.

Being employed is a blessing.

I think it is awesome that you emailed the person that helped you get help… Sometimes an unexpected thank you is just what someone needs…..

Heard about the layoffs early this morning Glad you are okay. Don’t think I had mentioned that I was affected last go-round we had with my company (your competitor). All in all, things have been good, it’s been a nice chance to step back and figure out what I want to do ‘when I grow up.’ Sometimes blessings are found in places you least expect. Hang in there, from what I gather, the ride isn’t over yet. The politicians got what they wanted and now don’t know what to do with what they got. Ain’t that always the way?? Much love from Texas!!

Big Hugs honey. I know it’s a scary time for you at work right now. I can imagine what morale is like at your workplace.

Unexpected blessings are wonderful. Hold on to them when they come!

I hate hearing that. No doubt they deserve better.

Thanks for the admonition at the end… It will make it a little easier to deal with the Bitch Squad on a daily basis.

unemployment being at its highest right now makes me feel a tiny bit better about it… but scared none the less!

I try so hard to remain grateful for the job I have. It pays my bills and gives me what I need. It’s difficult to remain grateful for me when I’m driving 160 miles per day to and from, but I do try. I strive everyday to thank God for my job.

Keep your chin up and I will be there tomorrow too, if you need it. I like that word “lifeline” that’s awesome!
