    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.

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

    I'm so sorry to hear this, Karen. That's a shock after 17 years, and it will take a while to adjust to it. Give yourself the time. I hope lots of options present themselves soon!

    I'm sorry to hear you lost your job, Karen. Hopefully, a new opportunity will arise soon, in a job just as interesting. You could also consider to start on your own, or freelance. With your skills, it should be possible.

    All the best of luck!! Fister sends headbumpies.

    Sorry to hear this, Karen, but like others have said, when one door closes another opens. Oftentimes people say they are much happier and wish they had been let go years ago! Although after 17 years, I can see how it's going to be tough to adjust to not going to work everyday.

    Thanks, everyone. Thankfully my self-worth has never been tied to my employment situation, unlike some people I know.
