So...

UnemploymentLine

I lost my job yesterday.
Me an 3 others.
It sucks.
I'm sad.
The economy sucks.
George Bush is an asshole, pardon my french.
Not sure what I am going to do now.
It's been said that you have to hit rock bottom before things get better.
It was pretty low already.
I'm not in the mood to string full sentences together and make them flow.
My job paid for 3 tuitions.
Public schools in my city are a joke.
The thought of sending my girls there makes me ill.
Cops with guns, metal detectors, drugs, violence. no thank you.
I'm not going to worry until Monday, then I will go into full panic.
Until then, I'll sew, clean my house and bake cookies.

  1. I am so sorry to hear about this! *HUGE HUGS* I am scared daily that I will be in that same boat.

    You are in my thoughts, what doesnt kill you makes you stronger, at least thats my mantra when things like this happen.

  5. I'm so sorry!! I am hoping that you find some inspiration this weekend for a future job that will be even better than your last. It can't be easy on you now. Good luck, and I'm sorry. (Hopefully when Obama becomes president things will turn around fast!) Take care.

  6. I'm so sorry to hear your news. It means nothing now, but when one door closes...Maybe it's a sign of better things to come. Hang in there!

  7. Try Secret Shopping - just google it and you're there. It's what I always do when my client base dries up.

    Good Luck!

  11. Just catching up on blog reading and saw this post... so sorry to hear about your job loss.

    I also have to say that I love you for saying, "George Bush is an asshole." Thanks for not sugar-coating that truth. Amen, sister.

    Good luck on the job search -- I'm sending good thoughts your way.

    I am soooooo sorry about your job!

    I feel your pain... we've had a house on the market for over a year (I blame the a-hole Bush for that too). Being straddled with 2 mortgages, blahblahblah has put a huge pinch on our bank account. I wish I had words of wisdom slash comfort... but I'm seeking them myself.

    I believe in the new door philosophy, as well as baking cookies, sewing, etc. Hope you and I both find that new door soon! xoxoxoxo-m
