I just found out were getting laid off in two months

[bodom]

Sad but true. This job was the only job i have ever had where i actually looked forward to coming to work. Atleast we got a two month notice. My girls 5 months pregnant and now we both have start all over as she works here too. Its a pretty scary time.

Perhaps you boss is heartless, but go directly to him and explain my wife is expecting our first child, so at least keep me on, please.

Well its the whole company that is going under. Its not just specific people getting axed. Everyone is getting axed. Everyone is sitting here in the office talking about what all of us are going to do. Its pretty surreal right now.

[Will]

Damn, that is hard.

[genkaku]

Ouch.

Breathe carefully.

[bodom]

Thanks.

Makes trivial arguments about football seem so insignificant in so many ways right about now. There are so many more important things in life. Thanks Manapa.

Was football ever significant

May be impermanent but feels bloody rotten at the time - I have been there.

I will be thinking of you and you will be in my prayers (well, call it lighting a candle and thinking of you all) .... postives coming over in massive waves dear friend.

Ah no - heck - I got called into the boss's office two weeks before Christmas and told that the business was closing down, we could continue with another employer but we had to go self-employed (with all the risks that involves) and we had only a week to decide ... and find out all the info we needed to do this enormous step.

I can feel for you my friend and I wasn't supporting a pregnant partner ...in the end MY partner ended up sneaking in on my coat tails and working with the new employer who didn't know that he didn't work with me before ... gets like a comedy series but that is my life.

I hope you both find mutual support and laugh together because this is the kind of thing that shows the strengths and weaknesses of a partnership - wishing you lots of laughs ... if you can laugh at a situation it is much less scary ... OK, give you a jumping off point - tell your partner that if things get really bad, you can go and live in a caravan, in a barn, in a tiny village in France because PP will put us up, and make cake - that should make you laugh!

I sure hope so! Im sitting at my desk watching people coming out of the Human Resources department with there walking papers. Its crazy. Its a sign of the times. I might have a job opportunity at the sister compay across the street though so we'll see what happens!

Ouch! I know what you are saying. These are terrible times indeed. I own a business and the income, cash flows are way down already. In my opinion, it is all Bushism. Spending all that money on that Iraq War when there is no money to pay for it. I even added a page to a political website of mine to follow the anatomy of the current economic crisis:

You wouldn't be the first ones to pole up on our doorstep needing housing ... the last one stayed 18 months and we sorted him out, got him back on his feet and sent him home again ... a few pounds heavier because of the home cooking but happier and more stable.

Nobody is ever out on their ear while I have a caravan.
