A Change for Me

[Karen]

This week I unexpectedly lost my 4-day-a-week job. I am okay, not to worry, and I will let you all know when I figure out what is next.

I just wanted to let my Pet Talk family know.

Miss Hoppy is a bit confused by my being home during the day, but appreciates the extra petting.

(((hugs))) I'm sorry to hear this I'm sure Miss Hoppy will work extra hard to make sure your time at home is well spent.

yeah I heard that yesterday morning, was surprised. I'm sorry.

at least more books to finish for now & our little dear miss hoppy gets more attention, especially raisins from you! that must be one of reasons why that door closed.

thoughtful hugs to both

I'm so sorry to hear this Karen. Remember, when one door closes, another one opens. Maybe this is a sign for you to relax a bit before starting the next job search. Prayers coming from Canada.

I'm sorry to hear about this. But I'm sure you'll find something even better when your ready. For now enjoy spending some extra time with Miss Hoppy and relaxing for a bit.

I am so sorry.. ((hugs))

On the bright side, you can spend more time on PT! and playing with Miss Hoppy, like you said. I know it's always kind of distressing to lose a job. Hoping something comes along that you'll enjoy. Chill out while you can!

I agree with slick

Remember, when one door closes, another one opens.

I think it's very true, and wish you the best!

Sorry to hear that, Karen. I hope you find something better than you had. And, may we now please have a photo thread of Miss Hoppy?

[Karen]

I had worked at that job, starting part-time, almost 17 years ago, and had been full-time for about 10 years. When I started, the magazine was just inside the Boston area, and didn't even have a website. It is now a national publication, with a website that draws visitors from all over the world.

A photo thread of Miss Hoppy depends on HER cooperating. Sigh. I will try - if she cooperates, I'll post the results!

sorry to hear that Karen -
will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Karen, I'm sorry to hear this . Hopefully you'll be able to find a better job soon. For now though, just sit back and relax.

Well, shame on 'em ~ It's Their Loss!

Need a Reference?
I bet we could come up with a couple thousand pretty good ones!

Promise that you'll let us know if there's ANYthing that we can do to help.

Best of luck and BIG {{{Hugs}}}!!

Major bummer, Karen. What WERE they thinking??? 17 years and they show you the door??? Crap! (sorry for the younger folks) Well, girl, do what I'm doing, start working for yourself! If they don't want to play with you, get your own gig going and to heck with them. What did you do at the magazine? I don't think I ever knew.

Hugs to you and Miss Hoppy! If we can help at all, let us know. Prayers for you.
