It’s been a rough month. My roomie lost her job, so there was major budget revision. 🙁 I get to work today, and my boss informs me that the owner of the restaurant I work has sold it…..the new owner starts Friday. There is a very large bottomless pit where my stomach should be. This is way too much change in way too short a time.
I have been “re-assured” that nothing will change, but ummm how can the old owner guarantee that? I am a little freaked out because I need the income from both my jobs to pay the bills. Without the restaurant income things get really scary. They’re not all that great now.
Last year sucked, I lost my dog, my aunt, had major repairs to the cars, my other dog lost her eye, had to buy a new car (loved my old one). 2011 basically sucked my reserves dry and kept raining ****.
And it just seems to keep coming. I had managed to get everything from last year straightened out, and now this. I was finally beginning to feel more in control, and now I am not certain how things stand. The only solid comfort I had was security in my employment, and now that’s gone…..

Sun Dragon Koi #3I’m so sorry to hear about your troubles! 🙁
I wouldn’t worry about your job quite yet, the old owner may very well be right. No doubt the new owner will be glad to have experienced staff in place!
And hopefully, the coming year will bring you much deserved and needed good luck! 🙂
Hang in there sweetie, we’re going through the same thing, only it is my roommates who are helping support me. I didn’t realize that finding a new job was going to be so difficult, but when you have a Bachelor’s degree & are putting in for crappy cashier jobs it is hard to convince them to take you. They know you are overqualified, I wish I could add to the application, have two children & a mortgage to support, I don’t effing care if I am overqualified, I need this stupid job anyway!
I kinda wish I hadn’t bothered with college, all it has gained me is a huge student loan I can’t repay & people turning me away because they figure I won’t stay long because I can do better. Not in this economy I can’t!
It will all get better for all of us, eventually, meanwhile we just have to hold on.

2011 was a bad year for me also. Whatever could go wrong did go wrong. An it all cost me money I got way over my head. More car bills, had enough of those already,more vet bills had enough of those already. Had tees cut down because of neighbor complaints ended up costing me over double because I tried to help someone out. More on my credits cads. I’ts over. I hae sold more Windstones than Iwanted to and bought a few I shouldn’t have because I am going down for the first time in my life I went to Liberty Finacial to try and get me out of this never ending debt. Could have just filed for bankrupsey instead but trying this first. With over 20 calls a day just from 1 creditor alone. I went back to my old number and have only I calling now but it is my bank and I have to get my but out of there or this will continue. Liberty says it will take me 30 months to get out from under these creditors. We’ll see. Depends if they settle or haul me into court. They can’t take my house I am one of those people that owe way more than it’s worth now. I pounded over 100,000.00 into fixing up this place my blood sweat and tears and get this–its worth 75,000.00 I gave up. I am retired I won’t be going to work again not with my health problems. I just got all those doctor bills payed off and not making more. So sweety its not just you. Its allot of us. The ecomomey and wages and cost of living are just not jiving anymore. They say now no more middle class only 2 classes of people now. The rich and the poor. Me I fall into the second group. All you can do is try the new boss out. An all you can do is hope for the best. As with the many that seem to be treading in the same water and boat as you. You are not alone trust me on this one. We can only get help and support from our friends. If you have a few good friends around you and here as well that can help you threw the bad times. My good wishes are with you.

Hang in there setsuna! Hopefully with the new owner, things will be ok and your roomie is able to find work soon, especially lasting work. I know my team changed management recently. The not knowing was killing us for the last month, then they told us ‘status quo’ for now. Met the new manager/boss last week for a meeting I had to drive to MA for, as he wanted to meet each of us one on one *yikes!*. Seems ok, but definitely a lot of smoke being thrown around and vague details. Lots of restructuring that a lot of the positions in the new management are still to be determined. The jobs are secure, but there are still lots of questions of what the future holds (direction of the team, responsibilities, will hours change, training, etc, etc, etc.). Sometimes the not knowing is the worst part, esp. when you know you can’t afford to have ‘bad news’. 🙁 *hugs*

http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmI hear ya–been through lots and lots of changes over the past couple of years and some of it wasn’t good. Hoping the best for you.
Well today was pretty dreadful. I feel like I have an ulcer in my stomach. 🙁 The new owner seems nice, and he said all the right things, but I just don’t feel safe. I’m sure most of it is the uncertainty. I’m a type A overachiever, and I have gone above and beyond the call of duty for the old owners for years, all while they underpaid me. I feel pretty betrayed and angry because a heads up would have been nice. I always expected them to sell the restaurant out from under me w/o a heads up, so I’m not surprised it happened…..but I am surprised at how betrayed I feel.
I’m also going to get sit home alone tonight. Roomie is hanging out w/ friends. I don’t know if I’m being unreasonable or not, but part of me is a little hurt about that. She knew I’d be spending all day doing things I’m not comfortable w/, and dealing w/ change-another thing I’m not good at, and she’s leaving me to stew in my juices. I feel like she’s being a bit insensitive, but If I say anything, then I’m being insensitive and selfish, so I won’t…..but it still leaves me to strew in my juices. I just want to crawl into a warm hole and never come out….and cry for a few hours….except then I’ll have a headache and it won’t be worth it.

Sun Dragon Koi #3So to make things better, my cousin totaled his car. I loaned him the money to buy the car, so I have to wait until after the adjusted comes to see if I get my money back.

Sun Dragon Koi #3Good news for once. Insurance is going to give me the money I had in the car. Yay. Roomie got a nibble for an interview, so keep your fingers crossed. I actually told off my old GM’s baby sister. I feel good about finally being able to her lazy to her face because she is. We had a food critic in who loved everything but the service, guess who was waiting tables the night the critic was in. Hopefull things keep getting better. Keep sending the good energy please, hopefully things keep improving.

Does Liberty Financial charge you for their services? If so there are many free credit bureaus you should check them out.
