Getting By With A Little Help from my Friends

There is nothing like losing a once-beloved job to bring one to one's knees, is there? Add in a pesky stomach virus that was determined to hang hard for 5-6 days, and it is a sure-fire recipe for hitting rock-bottom. This last week sucked, sucked so hard. Pretty much from Sunday to Friday morning, I wallowed, and wailed, and whined, and was just ( Read more... )

I'm glad you're feeling better now -- things WILL look up! THEY WILL! And you have a black-and-white -- which reminds me that I have one in the freezer from amand_r. Saving it for a rainy day. I ate all the others.

You know, C, it's been awhile. I think I need to send you something that will bring a surefire grin to your face:

Oh Blue, did you really do that to me? GROAN. LOL I showed, uh, that to my daughter. She shakes her head...

I just finished watching Empire Strikes Back! Now to watch the last one! Oh Hans! Princess Leia says it like 'hands'.

I am tired. Been cleaning tons of things. I am tired of cleaning. Maybe think about thinking about possibly considering writing. Think?

Since Bob hasn't found work in almost a year, I'm not sure I could tell you anything that would help. Just keep applying anywhere and everywhere.
Wish you all the luck in the world!

*Hugs* ♥

oh man you would think a nice kid fresh out of the Army would be snapped up somewhere. :*(

He actually had one place tell him they couldn't hire him because he wasn't a minority.
You won't have that problem. ;)

He did finally start his Basic Law Enforcement Training class, and I'm doing my best to get him to finally take his mechanics' certification class that he needs.
And as much other college as he is interested in, as long as his G.I.Bill lasts.

Good luck!

Spider makes me want to bake bread. I can make that easy bread...that's a thought. Her bread-making skills make me faint! LOL.

But then I would eat it if I made it, and that would probably not be good. Dang it. ARGH.

Hmm.

That's one heck of a cookie! And shiny!I can see why Shelby was tempted.

As for the other - *HUGS* I wish I could help you. You're such a good person, and you deserve wonderful things.

aww thanks, am hanging in there. I am determined to make this all work out to be better than it was. I *was* unhappy there, no denying that. So time to make it good, yeah?

And yeah, shiny!

It's sad when a job you love goes bad, isn't it? That happened to me with my first teaching/training job. :(

You have lots of useful skills, so I hope you find something soon. I know from experience just how quickly the novelty of being at home full time wears off. I mean, there are big advantages with working part-time from home, but I do miss having work colleagues and daily change of scene.

Very sad, though it makes coping with it all easier. Still, I just want to get something soon. Fast. Like this week would be nice?
