Pretty crappy week, twicks. But you know what they say - no matter how crappy things seem right now, they can always get worse! 
On the bright side, with all the free time you’re gonna have I assume it goes without saying that your gardens will be impeccable and weedfree. :dubious:
That absolutely sucks, twicks. On the bright side, two pages of condolences? Take some comfort in knowing that a lot of people care for you.
Dang - what a horrid double-whammy, {{{twicks}}}
Good thoughts coming your way!
twickster I’m so sorry on both counts. I remember how happy you were about this job opportunity. But, as you said, those are some good lines you’ve added to your resume and it did free you of your previous job. And I firmly believe your Aunt will be watching out for you and lead you to just the right place at just the right time. Wishing you the best.
I’m sorry about your aunt, twickster, and about the loss of your job. I just sent you an e-mail about an opening in my company’s magazine division. I don’t know if its something you’d like, but I figured that any lead helps at this point.
you know, ms ujest has a good point. the powerball is up into 100 million. just hop over the border and buy your ticket in west virginia!
def. go with the powerplay option. there is a 10 on the wheel for this month!
ladybug – thanks! I’m working on my resume now, and will be ready to send it out by Mon. or Tues. (I’ll need to get a couple of people other than myself to proof it). I appreciate your thinking of me!
(God I love this place. “Community” ain’t just a buzzword, folks.)
I’m sorry to hear your news. I remember when you got the job and how excited you were.
We had the director of our group in yesterday doing layoffs - but my team was spared.
Wishing you luck in your job hunt!
Today’s horoscope (oh hush, I know):
How perfectly timed!
Good luck in your future endeavors.
Oy, this sucks. I saw you mention your job loss in another thread and I did a double take. I remember you taking this job, and when you posted about it, it always sounded really interesting, and like you were having fun. Best of luck finding a new position - but I don’t know if you even need luck, because from here it looks like you’re really excellent at what you’re doing. Reading your posts I remember thinking at times (when my job was really boring) “Man, I’d like to have twickster’s job…but I probably couldn’t do half the job she does!” If I ever start publishing a magazine, you’d be the first person I’d call (well I would if I had your number :D)
Also, condolences on the passing of your aunt, I’m sure she was happy having you in her life, and would be happy to know that you are thinking of her and keeping her in your memories.
Ah, damn, twickster! I remember your thread when you started this job, and how pleased you were. I was once restructured out of a job I loved (which was outsourced to Ireland, believe it or not) and I just got back from my mother’s funeral (which is why I’m late to this sympathy party), so I can empathize with both of your pieces of bad news; but I didn’t have to deal with both at once!
Best of luck in your job hunt, and deepest sympathy on both your losses.
Crap! My SIL just re-subscribed. The magazine was great. I’m really sorry to hear this (and of course, sorry for you…you seemed to really love it).
