  Think of it as...a little bump in the road! Hey somthing better maybe out there waiting for you! So don't give up and keep your head up!

  Negative people and negative things thrive on sh** like this. So don't let that get to you, you feel me?

  Hi Ms. Crys,

  Sorry this happened to you. It happened to a lot of us and I know someone in Sales who got that slap about four or five times in the last year even though they totally rock. It is never fun, but I just caution you to not spend money a lot or any more than you have to. Find ways to cut corners on things you don't absolutely need. That's wisdom talking.

  Now for what Ericka has to say...

  Well, those Bleepedy-bleep-bleeping-bleepstards. Lets hope those turds fly back and hit Them right in the face :D

  Hang in there :D

  xoxoxo,

  Hi Ms. Cry,

  Well, its simply because they haven't thought beyond their own needs or whims and just may want to get you out to cheer you up, not realizing your finances are shaky because you got laid off and are ambivalent about spending money. I have gotten that in the past, too. Next time, I think politely say thank you but you're not quite feeling up to it and ask for a quieter activity, like at the park or "hanging out."

  Best of luck!

  Okay,..Listen! While your in work mode, begin writing your business plan, to get your new job. Don't wait! Then, when you've done a crack job of that, begin writing your business plan for your "own" business doing whatever you are best at, personally. Then, operationalize both plans at your pace. There is notime for your emotions. You have to replace that emotion with action. The library is your new best friend. Use it, and every job fair that you can find. Try christmas hiring, as a stop gap hold get over option. Your new job, is getting a new job...We are here for you..okay?..You know, this is a time of self evaluation. Stay strong in all faucets of your ordinary life. Change your consumerism habits. Don't lose your cool. Stay focused on the new situation, an accept it as a temporary re-start to your career.

  You lost your job, but you have great boots! Seriously, great costume. A job is not who you are or your self-worth. Job hunt 8 hours a day - it is your new job. When you are feeling sorry for yourself - go volunteer. It will keep your head on straight. Good luck.
