Today was my last day

Well, today was my last day of work. It was so emotional for me. I hated leaving all of the wonderful people I worked with for more than 20 years. The funny part was HR collected my Nextel phone, laptop, keys and ID badge at 10:00 this morning but the HR lady said she didn't care what time I left so I dodged the security guys and took many photos with my friends before I left. I am kind of disappointed that a couple of the girls I have worked with for such a long time, and knew about this for the past two weeks, did not even bother to take me to lunch or get a card. One department in the building actually put on a big potluck for us. Two of us were let go and the new outsourcing company made one an offer. Of course he is the lowest paid so that is why he received an offer.

 

I however, did get a non-paying job at a consignment shop. I want to learn the business and maybe open my own shop. I don't want to jeopardize my unemployment, so I am doing it without pay. I did get a nice severance package from my employer, so I think all will be ok for a while. I guess I just have to figure out what I want to do when I grow up! No more computer work though.

But when one door closes another one opens. You can do anything you want to as long as you believe in yourself.
Good luck with everything.

I know the feeling. Both the FI and I are dealers in the casino's. Both of our company's are talking lay offs. We just refinanced our house and have the wedding in 6 months. It's very scarey. It's not like you can walk out the door and find a job making 50K a year easily anymore. At least they gave you a nice package. I'm a firm believer of god doesn't give you anything more then you can handle. But sometimes I wanna ask, are you really sure I can handle this?!?!

 

Best of luck Syl. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise for you to open you own business!!

I am really sorry to hear that. All the city workers in Chicago are worried about being laid off or bumped out of their jobs. We have to take three non paid days around the holidays. My fiance is trying to be a Fireman and he has this test that he is having a hard time passing the test. If he fails one more time he will be fired and that is stressful in it's self. I hope that you will be able to start your business and do all those things that you wanted to. You can look at it in one of two ways. That it is an end of a job or a start to a new life. I will send up a prayer for you.

Thanks everyone for the words of encouragement. My DH is having surgery today so I am sitting in the waiting room reading and planning my new business venture! This is going to be a lot of work, but fun! You girls (and guys) keep me going and keep me positive. I don't know what I would do without my BDW girls (and guys).

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
