Oh holy christ. I certainly picked a great time to not know what is going on with anyone for a few weeks. I’m so sorry you had to experience this. Perhaps 2010 IS your year, and this is just the first step in how it will manifest itself for you. From what I can tell, you are a smart, savvy, rockin’ lady – I know you’ll pull through. So let’s call this the first gift of 2010, getting you out of a job you hate. 2 1/2 weeks have gone by since then, I’m hoping something good has headed your way!

Also, I’m caught up now, so I won’t be flooding you with any more comments this evening.

I’m sorry to be so late in commenting here, Miss. The immediacy of having no paycheck sucks right now, but there IS a silver lining – it would be very different if you loved your job and you had the most wonderful boss in the world, but you didn’t. So in a way you are fortunate that this will springboard you into a much, much better direction. Here’s hoping that opportunity comes along for you real soon xoxo.

I’m going to go with blessing in disguise. I’ll bet you’ll end up with a fantastic job that you love, making big bucks because you deserve it and all it took was that first step of getting rid of that shitty job to find the job of your dreams!

Oh man, man oh man getting laid off first of the year is such a bummer. Gah. Here’s hoping you find a much better gig really soon. Sometimes it takes a boot to kick you in the right direction. Keep up the good attitude.

I hate being late to parties, because all the wittier people have said everything worth saying. Fuckers.

I love you.

Oh no, I’m so sorry! I see that Busy Dad basically said exactly what I was going to say, that it sounds like bullshit, but things seem to happen for a reason. I know the reason is a really, really, really good one…it has to be.

Oh sweetness. That’s scary. You’ll pull through though. Windows, doors, whatever the fuck that saying is.

This sucks butt. Have you applied for unemployment? It could take a little while to a find a new job in this economy and it’s your money that you have contributed all your working life, it is not a handout!

You are young, smart, and sparkly! You’ll find something that you love, just keep at it!

I know it sounds like bullshit right now, but I believe everything happens for a reason. A year from now when you are doing your 2011 post, you’ll understand and appreciate why this happened. For now, there’s booze. But I’m truly sorry about this shitty setback.
