I've been 'off' of work for 2 mos. My position of producer was eliminated at Thanksgiving. Along with 149 other positions at the company I worked for.

No biggie, I was tired of the same thing .. day in, day out anyway. Had lost passion and there was no challenge. I need challenge.

BUT

I've now been off for 8 weeks. I've never been without work before. I thought I'd LOVE it. I mean I was paid (severence) to do nothing. LMAO.

But I find it's booooooooooorrrrrrring as hell. Well perhaps hell isn't as boring as this is. hmmmmm

I was used to getting 5 weeks vaca @ my job, so I figure I better enjoy that now because once I start a new job, the most I'll get is a week or two.

But I never realized how repetitious looking for work can be.














In my best Charlie Brown voice .. ((((( IS ANYONE OUT THERE? DOES ANYONE UNDERSTAND? )))))

i understand ooohhh so much

been looking for something other than watching more kids since well years actually but everywhere i apply pretty much just looks over my application and passes it by which is funny being that 4 of the places i apply at are always needing employees cause no one wants to work for the ass holes that are in charge ..

Oh do I ever

It's so nice you guys feel my pain




I mean honestly .. who needs a producer in Colorado ??? LMAO

Think I'll run for President ..

judy for president

can i be vice president

Uhhhh sure. After all, my VP told me I could start a cult with my persuasive ability. ha ha ha

You ARE kidding right Judy??



i mean... i've been living it ....and you've heard it all....why are you so Shocked?? lol

HEY! I never thought to look for jobs leading a cult.

Runs to look ....

yep life does have a way of taking away the foot ball just as you were about to kick it..GOOD GRIEF..
but then again i look into my sack and realize ..i got a rock..life's lessons delivered in the form of a simplistic cartoon ..if only we had realized what charlie brown?schulz was trying to tell us ..

i guess i'll just lie up here on my dog house and dream about being an ace pilot...


one day we will all kick that football..just dont let Lucy hold it..speaking of which where is she ..its time to teach her a new sport..E.C.W....

I am also a laid off individual. The lack of a good paycheck sucks, but i have many things to do at home(I am building my own home), so bordome is not an issue for me!!!

uhhhhh hello? cuz now it's ME

babe.. i helped write the book on your pain..
ive been out of work since july.
now i have a 2 day a week part time job that is just not cuttin it..
at least you got a severence.. that helps with the bills.. most of the rest of us didnt, so we look and look for work, dont find anything, and try to figure out wether we pay electric or water or rent this month.. cuz we can only afford one of the 3.

FOOTBALL!!!!

Why didn't I think of that?!!!

Well that's fantastic babe! I don't 'do' hammers.

BUT .. my kids are lovin it. Breakfast every morning before school. I make all the lunches now. Dinner never an issue.

Honestly I have nothing to whine about. My severence has kept me in good shape so far.

And speaking of shape, I'M also getting in it. I'm totally back to a work out plan .. never felt better.



I think just being a type A and needing something to get charged up about is setting me back a pace or two.

hmmmm need an assistant? I serve pizza and beer for lunch

oh boy do I feel your pain... And I look around here and think its no different for a lot of people now... But fate was kind to me , I have a source of income and can kick back and let all this economic trouble pass. Oh and fot the lady abiout watching kids? even thats begining to pose problems for day care providers.. with families out of work they donn't need that service anymore .. It trickles down you know.

bored staying at home? bored not working?

hell if i could afford it, i'd never work again. i'd find lots to do:

monday - pedicure, lunch with friends
tuesday - gym, lunch, massage
wednesday - shopping, shopping, shopping
thursday - gym, lunch, shop some more
friday - hair appointment, dinner

Yes well the economy made me more needed since I work as a Social Worker in health and benefits. We are seeing an influx of people that haven't ever recieved benefits in their life. I hope all of you find something in your area or at least a vacation spot to explore during your hiatus. Seriously, good luck to all of you.

so much for payin attention to one of your BFF's eh? lol

thank goodness the one child i am watching parents work for the prison ,

I can't complain but I do feel for you Judy!! Don't give up I am sure an sexy outgoing intelligent woman like yourself should not have a problem finding work!!
