Awww so no rump roast? I thought we were gonna throw a pig in the sand and have a luau (or however you spell it…) I mean I suppose we still can! LoL
Anyway, I’m sorry that your jobless, but I’m glad that they’ll be driving themselves under and won’t be taking you with them!
Lots of hugs!

😆 Nope sorry–no rump roast! Well we could still flame it but you wouldn’t want to eat it—rotten meat to begin with! 😆
Well after the initial shock has worn off and I think about what happened yesterday I realized that I got the better deal! I no longer have to deal with these idiots and the drama that constantly surrounds them. Stupid is what stupid does! The people who have talked to me all say that I no longer sound stressed and seem a lot happier! Well, I am–that place is no longer my problem and what will come will come! It was like a 10 ton weight has been taken off of me and I can breathe and move forward. Don’t know what will come next and maybe I’m still a bit frazzled, but I do feel much better about it all because I know somewhere down the road, they will get what’s coming to them!
Ahh, I’m so sorry to hear this. 🙁 But, maybe it’s a blessing in disguise. These things often are, in my experience… and they left me with moths in my wallet, but I felt physically and emotionally so much better.

I had to come to this realization about a year ago. It took me far longer to come to it, since I didn’t see it coming at all. I was blindsided. They kept people who didn’t deserve it, even promoted some of them. I still keep in contact with the people I didn’t loose respect for, and I’ve found that morale there is so low. The good people would escape if they could. There’s no longer any loyalty. I only hope them enough success to keep my friends employed.
I’m glad that you’re finding the silver lining far earlier than I did. It’s a perfect time to reflect on things and what you might want to do, or do differently moving forward. My new employer is required to earn my loyalty and trust, because I can no longer give it blindly. So far, so good, but it’s only been 6 months.
Take care, Lady!As the days move forward there is also one thing I’m keeping in mind–it happens after any life changing event–who my true friends are! Went through this before when my husband passed away and it is amazing! Surprising how some ‘friends’ do a turn coat on you–it’s a disappointment but things like this are also a test of those friendships! You find out who you can really depend on and sometimes it could be a big dissappointment. There are some people I no longer am in contact with–sad, but it is what it is and maybe what friendship I had with them wasn’t all that genuine. I actually saw people drawing away from me like I had some sort of contigaous diease! Then you get surprises–like who really steps up to the plate! So these are also testing grounds for me right now–who will I be able to trust and who not! It’s one of those waiting things that I now have all the time in the world to figure out. It’s life in general!
I’m really looking forward to finding that open window of opportunity! That should be interesting and I know it’s not going to happen right away. I’ve already made plans for next week of things that I did before but could no longer do because of the stressed out condition I was in because of this job! It will be a nice homecoming of sorts! I can spend more time with neighbors and my pets. I have a 14 year old dog that has helped pull me through the depression after my husband passed–if it weren’t for him, I may not even be here! At 14 I know he it is a matter of time before I’ll have to say goodbye to him and I wanted to be there for him when that time comes. He’s healthy now but I would think about when he would get sick and I couldn’t be there because I had to go to work! Things happen for a reason and all the deep and unspoken desires of our heart are fulfilled in ways that we don’t understand at the moment.
This is also a time of reflection–I probably needed to stop and think about stuff. I remembered the words of an 90+ something woman I visited when I volunteered at a hospital. She was a holocaust survivor and told me her story: She was in Auswitch and she was with her 7 year old daughter–their group was the next to go into the gas chamber–they ran out of gas so they were doused with cold water ahd shipped out by train–she feels that saved her and her daughter’s life and has been thankful for that ever since–devoted her life doing anything she could for others. She left me with this and I know it’s been said before:
Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift–that’s why we call it the Present!
Maybe I had to learn that lesson all over again–so now I’ll eat more ice cream, laugh more, play more, visit friends and neighbors more and do what I can . It’s that simple!
I’m glad you have a really good attitude going in to this. 🙂 It is true that when things happen that aren’t always the most pleasant, it really shows who your friends are. I’ve had this with various situations and it always is interesting to see who sticks around to assist, who walks away, who turns on you, and who just stands there as a spectator. Helps you clear out that which will weigh you down or hold you back as you go to move forward; a cleansing if you will (not necessarily an easy one though!). Still, you have a positive attitude and you already sound so much less stressed! *sends good vibes your way for a better opportunity* 🙂
Sorry that you had such stupid bosses. I am glad that you are keeping a positive outlook on everything. My mother always says that if you continue to look down than you can never see what is coming up. Things will get better. It will just take some time. For now, just enjoy the break and enjoy every second of life that is coming.
