I'd like to complain about work, if I may

Specifically..the recent lack of it along with a large job to get done.

Laid off...again.
The market is horrid but, better than last year I think, so I am keeping my positive attitude...for how long, I have no idea. The man I had worked for up until Friday was the spawn of Lucifer so, really...it's all good. I however will surely not be commuting only 1 mile a day in the future...so sad but, I hope to at least be paid more so that could work well.
I have already applied to a few positions, one I am most interested in, and just can't wait to have everyone get back to work from the long holiday weekend so that perhaps I can get back to work myself. Smile oiy. It being Sunday, there is that large paper to review carefully but, aha...I am working today so my day tomorrow should be full of lovely ads, well I hope at least.

Now, you are confused..yes? I know, me to. yes, I am working today, doing that which I enjoy the most but only do for good friends and special occassions, photographing an Anniversary.
I am also managing a studio, or should I say the closing of a studio. Its a large job, and due to my dear friend passing away, so it is also a very emotional ride. Its a big job, and seems that I will now have the time to get more of it done and perhaps even completed in the time allowed by the family, of which I recently had been concerned. Brides are their own individiual personalities, really. And after the work directly related to the customers is completed I must take a big breath and assist with the auctioning and donating and eventual dissolution of it all.

So, that is the background and my complaint really is that its been a tough couple of years and while I think prospects are good for full time permanent things, in the mean time I can get some things done that need to be done but....at very little income. Sigh, always comes down to that.

Yes, it is all good.............right now you have the opportunity to change your life for the better. Never forget that, and don't permit yourself to become discouraged. Attitude is palpable, and employers can sense when a candidate is positive and eager. Maintain the positive attitude, and something good WILL come your way. Just believe in yourself!

quinn, I know it may be hard to believe, but, sometimes, the loss of one job can turn out to be a blessing in disguise. That happened to me, and I know to many others. When our future looks bleak, because it looks like such a long, dark, tunnel, the light at the end will be brighter. Blessings, my friend. c.i.

k...a phone call goes a long way at times...so does a visit with a tiny bit o pottery...you're just a dear dear friend...thanks gal!

Sure....HUGS all around and right back at each and every one of yas...hugs are a great and wonderful thing Smile

Phoenix, yes..tis true, very true..I certainly believe..now, to get someone else to...itll work out in the end, Im sure.

jes...if anyone knows the market around here..its you...thanks gal...and how are you doin anywho?

dlowan..thanks. You know, one thing that keeps me going is the positive influences I have with the fabulous people I am lucky enough to have in my life and even those fabulous people left behind from fabulous people as well...its a big help and a great thing to have and even greater joy to know you have. Oh..lucky goddess dust helps too, Im sure! thanx!

ehbeth...a kick..well, okay..a kick could be considered good...it certainly couldnt hurt at this point..the last two years have been pretty boring and not exactly thrill seeking in the employment area..just jobs, and those are hideous. Pay would be helpful as well! Smile

ci..you know...going ahead with...basically the thoughts that...thank goodness I dont have to work for this guy anymore and onto better and brighter things I think will put a good curve on it. You never do know what you will find out there, and sometimes it works out just fabulously.

Letty..thanks for stopping on in..yeah..on to big and better things that would actually use those talents...that would be fabulous.

All these hugs..thats just great my friends...I appreciate it, a great deal..in fact..I feel better already. I am very lucky to have all this!
