Merry Christmas Pink Slip

Can you say, "Terminated"? "Unemployed"? Husband not working. Then you can enter Aunt Melissa's Kitchen! =)

Yes, things have been better at Aunt Melissa's house, but she is SO excited not to have to go back to work with the horrible people who ask inappropriate questions, try everything in their power not to actually work, talk loudly while others are on the phone conducting global conference calls and stonewall when legitimate work information is needed. Oh, yes, I'm so happy to never see them again, I hope, I hope. 30 years of experience in the workplace never prepared me for the last 3 months. I've never been so relieved, albeit broke, in my life. Well, maybe I've been more broke, but never more relieved.

Great opportunities are on the horizon, I'm just hoping my $2.05 lasts until the perfect opportunity comes along. I'm trying to focus on the excellent and incredible companies within walking distance (could mean a new puppy will be added to the family soon YIPPEE) but I'm not ruling anything out (HELLO, Mortgage and no second income) , I'm networking, networking, networking, sending applications, sending applications, finally filed for unemployment and tonight, I might just give myself a wee break and knit for a couple of hours while watching a DVD. Yes, Santa isn't coming to our house this year, but I'm truly looking forward to sewing and knitting and then hitting the job search again very soundly on December 27, 2007.

Well, there is much housework to be done and then, as mentioned, knitting and movies.... so must run.

Love you all and please stay in touch!
