Well, that sucks.

Just found out my job is gone. I've got two weeks' notice, then I have to find work elsewhere. It's not me: they like me. They're just broke and can't keep most of their employees.

This sucks. I really liked this job. I was looking forward to making the position truly my own. I love the people here. This really, really sucks.

Oh man! That's terrible...

[identity profile] toughlovemuse.livejournal.com 2006-10-11 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw...fuck.

I'll stock up on the comfort food tonight. I have brownies. There will be soup and fresh bread. And drinks. Name your poison.

No, seriously. What do you want to drink? I'll run by the SAQ this afternoon. I have red and white wine, rum and scotch. Anything else I can get. Let me know.

Bailey's is always a good plan. I will happily chip in for part of a small bottle. :)

Oh, boo :p While I have every confidence you'll find something soon (and maybe, dare I say, something that doesn't throw so much work at you that you're forced to work overtime!) it still sucks to have the rug pulled out from under you like that.

*hugs*

Oh my God, I *love* your icon! Where is it from?

[identity profile] karine.livejournal.com 2006-10-11 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
It's the queen in Black Adder!

Ron called me earlier; I'm really sorry you guys got laid off. I hope both of you will find work fast.

[identity profile] curtana.livejournal.com 2006-10-11 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Icon by me, screencap from Blackadder II, I forget which episode. Queenie rules!

Urk, that sucks. Sorry to hear that. However, even though it didn't last long, I hope your hard work will pay off in the form of a good reference, which will turn into the next, even better job.

[identity profile] alcinoe.livejournal.com 2006-10-11 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Awe, I am SO very sorry! You finally get a job you like and this happens. Total suckage. :(

Boourns. :(

And here we all go again.

Gnash, gnash.

That's really bad news. I was downsized from a job in 1994. I'd never consider it a good thing.

[identity profile] joenotcharles.livejournal.com 2006-10-11 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Eech, sorry to hear that.

[identity profile] kino-kid.livejournal.com 2006-10-11 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Can you send me your CV? I can take a look at it, and see if I know anyone looking for something similar (I won't send it to anyone).

[identity profile] rosy1.livejournal.com 2006-10-11 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry to hear that. I'll keep a good thought you find something you like soon - maybe something that doesn't involve "eating your brain" either.

[identity profile] joane.livejournal.com 2006-10-11 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw, crap. That's what happened to me at the Pod; it's a terrible feeling. I'll be around after 6 pm my time if you wanna yammer before heading out to get drunk on Bailey's; I can even call on the dreaded telephone if you're going to be around.

[tongue mostly in cheek] So does this mean I can start looking for jobs for you around here? I know that a local dance company is in desperate need of a capable admin...

Crap crap crap crap crap.

*hugs*

[identity profile] silly-imp.livejournal.com 2006-10-11 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
sucks indeed! I'll keep my ears open for you.

What I don't understand is how (from your posts) they seem to be so busy with lots of work, but don't have enogh money for most of the employees.

Hosh, I hope HRH's job is safe!

[identity profile] mousme.livejournal.com 2006-10-11 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
No such luck, I'm afraid. As for the first thing, well, it's complicated. :P

[identity profile] julienne64.livejournal.com 2006-10-11 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
That does suck. I'm sorry you have to go through that again.

Let me know if you need anything.

[identity profile] griffen.livejournal.com 2006-10-11 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, honey.

*hughughug* *good job-finding vibes*

[identity profile] grimmwire.livejournal.com 2006-10-11 06:22 pm (UTC)(link)
That's crappy. Sorry to hear it.

(Have you not seen Blackadder?! Somebody around here must have them on tape or DVD. Some choice Rowan Atkinson would definitely help cheer you up.)

[identity profile] curtana.livejournal.com 2006-10-11 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
We have all the DVDs - you would be more than welcome to toddle over here and peruse them, Phnee. They're good cheer-making entertainment :)

[identity profile] sandman7.livejournal.com 2006-10-11 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
That's really sucky.

I'll keep an eye out around here for the both of you.

[identity profile] sorceror.livejournal.com 2006-10-11 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Ack! Just when it seemed to be going so well... I'm sorry. In fact, it seems pretty unfair to me that they hired you & then this happened so shortly afterward... what were they thinking?

Good luck on the job search... I know what it's like, being in the middle of one myself!

[identity profile] djs-specs.livejournal.com 2006-10-11 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Well shit. That blows some serious chunks hon. *hugs* Good luck with the job search.

[identity profile] ladyiolanthe.livejournal.com 2006-10-12 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
Crap, that really sucks. Well, like someone else said, hopefully you will find something new soon and these employers sound like they will give you a glowing reference.

[identity profile] luvenditti.livejournal.com 2006-10-12 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
that blows HUGE chunks.

[identity profile] the-lich.livejournal.com 2006-10-12 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
That truly blows. The Region Coordinator at my place left for another office and the "service a la clientelle II" person got promoted to the position which leaves a power vacuum. From the sound of it your old job is similar to this one so if you're interested drop me a line and I'll forward your CV or point you in the right direction. There's a few things you might not like though, (a) this is in Ville d'Anjou and (b) you would be working in the same office I do (and any sane person would not want to suffer such a horrible, dismal fate). Having said all that, I am certain you will find something soon despite all our help but remember we are all there with you!
