to your old boss.
 
thank you all for your nice words, pm's, and :mad:s. it means a lot. i'm still pretty shocked about it but i feel it's definitely for the best. i wanted to go a different route in my life and this is probably the only way i was going to get started on it sooner rather than later. they're paying me through november and my boss is actually going to help me find a new job, which is more than i expected. he has great connections which should help. i do feel badly because i know my company is not doing well and if they could have avoided this, they would have. my boss actually got choked up when he told me so i know there was nothing i could have done. i just wish the job market was a little better so it would be a little easier - i'm sure lots of people wish that. :slant: i could be in a much worse situation so i have nothing to complain about really. i'm going to work on my resume this weekend. i'm actually going to go home (to my parents) tomorrow through monday. it was something i planned earlier but now i am really looking forward to it. i just need to relax.

anyway, thanks again. you all kick ass. :heart:

wish me luck. :)

and i am very sorry for the lack of numbering in this thread. i am usually quite good with the numbers. and i'm also sorry for starting the thread out with :censored:

You should put us all down as references when you're applying for a new job.

Interviewer looking at forms:

"soooo.....It says here that one of your references said you were awarded the 2002 Pengie Seal of Approval and that you serve as co-captain of the pengie squad. Would you care to comment on that?"

:hug: again and I'm sure things will work out. :)
 
Sorry to hear about your job

:sad:


Hopefully it will be for the best and you will just find something better. :yes:
 
ah numbers snumbers

While finding a new job will be tough...at least it's nice to know that your former boss didn't want to let you go, and they are helping you find a new job. The job market is tough all over, but I wouldn't worry, you are bound to find a new, better job.

I know it's lame and cliche to say but everything happens for a reason
 
Damn.

OMG girl i'm so sorry....:sad:

YOu as well as MANY others in this situation...will be in my thoughts and prayers...

(((((FLOWER))))))
 
Your boss sounds cool and like he really didnt want to lay you off. I know how it is.. we work with software companies and all of them have been laying people off. It sucks out there.

Good luck and your weekend sounds like a great idea. :hug:
 
have a nice weekend.

and when you come back, be sure to buy the new beck album.

you might like it. :|

its moody.

on the mind all of the time...

you'll be ok shannon.
 
God, Im so sorry babe.
Think of it as a new beginning, a new door opening!
Be strong and you'll do great, bella.

Im starting to think IO has a curse :|
 
I'm sorry...and good luck.

That's good though, that your boss will help you look for a new job and they will pay you through November. Maybe this is a turning point in your life and you'll find a better job.

And don't worry about the opening word in this thread. I'm not a fan of those, but also, I do think there are times when it's ok to curse - and this is one of them.
 
this is superbad

im sorry to hear that
i wish it didnt have to happen to you
you will prosper
 
:(

Sorry to hear that....

see what the cyclops says and go out and get a better job!

ok, I suck at being motivational.
