A Change for Me

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?

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.

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.

How awful! I really hope a wonderful new opportunity presents itself to you very soon!

Will be keeing you in my thoughts and prayers.

**Barbara** · 02-09-2006, 03:04 AM

I am so sorry. After 17 years! They will lose so much experience and continuity!

I am sure that for you it will be a new start- maybe not just this weekedn, but later.

Karen,

That truly sucks!! I'm so sorry. I know something better will come along. In the meantime, enjoy the time you have with Miss Hoppy and hubby. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.
