    Awww, NUTZ!

    Don'cha just HATE IT when dat happens!?

    Did they give you any retirement or severance benefits to take with you?

    Any new job placement assistance?

    Are you gonna *look* for another position, or just say Fasten It and
    go into retirement?

    Happie Trip to the Left Coast!

    BIG {{{Hugs}}}!!

    Aww, Laurie, that sucks. Well you KNOW you can always come here. You missed the Teddy Bear conference, but I'm sure we can cook up some mischief to keep you entertained! Let me know! I'll be on vacation the week of April 21.

    I'm sorry that you lost your job after such a long time. I hope some time to recover and reflect will open up new ideas and opportunities. Just remember all those 'tools' in your tool-kit and think about how 'you' want to use them.

    Have a wonderful relaxing time off and best of luck for your new adventure, whenever you choose for it to begin
    Yours in Whiskers
