oh dear.

I want to ask what can I do, but I guess that's rather pointless, what with the distance ... still. What can I do, in terms of positive energy support?

I am so very sorry, and hope there's something good waiting for you, soon.

oh, MAN. {{{{{{ }}}}}

[resonant8.livejournal.com]

Aww. Thanks.

I've needed to move on for some time now; just would rather have done it a different way, you know?

If anybody wants to send me Knowing What You Want To Do When You Grow Up vibes, I'd appreciate them.

(And I'm available for freelance nonfiction writing assignments.)

[twistedchick]

oh, res, that so sucks. It's one thing to make a move, it's another to have the move made on you, without choice.

Sending you vibes from whatever putative wisdom I may have acquired through working at everything and anything for the last howevermany years.

And {{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}

well, i'm afraid i'm flat out of Knowing What You Want To Do When You Grow Up, but i can offer you a heaping handful of Finding Something Cool To Do In The Meantime.

best of luck!

Damn. I felt the exact same way when I lost my job - due to "reorganization." I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up. :-)

Just - don't give up. Every time I get to the point of depression lately, someone contacts me for an interview. Now, none of those interviews has panned out into a full-time job, yet, but I'm sure one of them will soon.

*offers a hug* Ouch. Sympathy. But you'll find something better. Because you're cool that way.

Owies...

I got made redundant years ago, when I was ::counting on fingers:: 26? Huge shock. They cut 80 jobs in my Department and it was on the cards generally, but I hadn't an inking I'd be one of the discarded.

It was horrible, and I compounded it by pissing about for the best part of a year, very depressed, blowing my payoff money on drink and d-r-u-g-s and blowing myself to Hell on some very bad promiscuity.

Eventually I got out of my pit and got a job which I've had ever since and love a gajillion times more than I did the old one. Like my life now, like myself too. Have never needed to look back since.

Res, you know you'll ride over this... just takes time. And I *pray* you don't transit to that better point by being quite so much of a self-destructive loony as I was then. Er... heh!

Doh!

I've nearly been laid off three times this year, and I keep managing to retain my job through strange miracles.

I hope you find a job that's something you honestly like to do, for good pay and benefits, and allowing you plenty of time to slack off and write fan fiction.

Um. Yes, I am large with the sympathy, but also somewhat selfishly motivated in this case. Heh.

*hug*

I'm sorry to hear it, but hope you can replace it with something more to your taste.

oh no, man!

[(Anonymous)]

Aw, res, I'm sorry. I hope you're not too freaked out. You're sure to get another gig soon!

Yipes! My sympathies -- I hate to get un-jobbed. Still, it could mean some quality autumn time with the little one, just until you get that wonderful, perfect job you've always wanted.:-)

Sympathies-been there, doing that...

Got laid off in May myself, and the closest I've come to getting a job came last week. Had to torpedo the interview because they were only willing to pay $6.50/hour (even where I live, that's NOT a living wage) and if I actually got the offer and turned it down, I'd lose my unemployment (effectively $6/hour, but I told them not to take taxes).

Best of luck getting a new one you really enjoy with a reasonable workload, good benefits, and a living wage.
