Had a message to call Ted tonight.

We had a good talk...they can't see me continuing on. They LIKE me, and are sorry it had to come to this.

I understand totally - it is not personal, as I knew before - but it's one thing to get a second chance when you are working with computers, and totally another when you are working with live creatures, whose lives are in your hands.

If I were to continue on - we would all be under a bit of 'when will the shoe drop' - even me, I think.

I had another good cry...and had to finish some transcribing work for the other job, the national publication I work for.

When I emailed the transcription, I let the CEO know that I was now available full hours, if the opportunity was there. (I KNOW it is, we'll just see).

No more zig-zagging between two jobs, fuel costs in half...

But I sure will miss all those furbabies!!!!!

Thank you so much to all of you who have supported me.

AND THANK YOU GOD THAT THE KITTEN IS OK AND WONDERFUL AND I GOT TO HUG AND KISS HER TODAY!

In my irreverant way, I thought of this saying: "When God closes one door, he opens another - but it's HELL in the hallway!"

Hugs to everyone....

I'm so glad the kitty is okay but so sorry that you lost the job. You sound like you are taking it well and I have to thank you for the great chuckle. I've never heard that saying with the extra about the hallway. I will most definitely remember that one!

I hope things work out for you to go fulll time on the other job. This just may be the direction you need to travel now.

(((HUGS)))

Catty1,

I'm so sorry about your job. I believe in second chances. It's too bad they didn't. You're taking it quite well under the circumstances. I guess all you can do now is move on.

I hope the CEO will take you up on your offer. He's crazy if he doesn't. You need schmoozing with some furbabies??? You are more than welcome to come to my house. My cats would LOVE another person to spoil the rotten.

((((HUGS)))) to you Catty1. You're a big person for taking the whole situation the way you have.

Thanks...and my bosses have taken it very well too. We all feel the same about it, really.

Even if the circumstances were different - the place is for sale, possession date Nov 1st - and I might have been out of the job anyway.

I have built up a good sense of worth as a worker there. And they are great bosses.

It's one thing to have a second chance if one works with computers or something like that. But when the lives of living creatures are literally in my hands, no. And I am fine with that.

I have sobbed and cried more in the past 12 hours than the past month. But I am ok.

They like me and I like them - but we can't risk this again...we all would be wondering if something would happen. For the shoe to drop. Human nature.

hugs

LOL - I think that could sum up my life sometimes!

wow
I just read all 3 threads.
Quite a turmoil of emotions for you.
I am glad the kitten is back and safe but sorry the way it turned out for you.
**hugs**
