1. WHAT? I know it’s early in the morning but you don’t have your job any longer? I’m so confused which is nothing new and different

   1. Now I understand from you comment. I’m so sorry to hear that Q. Welcome back No? Can you go back to teching? We need EXCELLENT teachers out there…and you would be one of the best. Or maybe you should just write full time. It could be Murphy’s Law

2. weeeelll… it could be Murphy’s way of saying ‘well here, focus on writing full time and make it profitible! It’s your new job.. surprise!’…

   1. T — but in the meantime, there are bills to be paid!

3. Sorry to hear that Quilly, When one door closes, another opens. Maybe this is your time to write that book.
   .-= Bill´s last blog ..For Now =-.

   1. Bill — I was working on that better when I had a job and wasn’t spending hours filling out applications!

4. I sort of remember you mentioned months ago about maybe going back to teaching.
   Hope things are looking up soon.

   1. Carletta — I d not want to work for this school district, but I have applied to several private schools.

5. Oh my God Quilly, I’m so sorry! Thom told me. This sucks! I hope you’ll find something real soon. Or maybe it’s Murphy’s way of telling you to write more. Because you ARE a very good writer? Hugs dear, I hope this all works out well for you soon.

   1. Jientje — they haven’t let me go entirely, so I won’t be wholly without funds, but we’re going to be on a beans and rice diet here, I think!

      1. Rice is pretty expensive lately, no?

         Shucks, that sucks and I’m sorry to hear.
         I keep my fingers crossed for you that it all works out in the end!!

6. i blame those pencil pushers in washington. they have some things to answer for, i’ll tell ya!
   no
   i blame those bankers in …um…financier land.

   *someone* .
   it’s *someone’s* fault. let’s find them.

   1. Zerilda — I blame my vacation and the temp who came in and did my job for $5.00 per hour less than I do!

7. Oh, that’s sad, Quilly. I hope you find a good job soon. I feel your pain.

   1. Oh! I had completely forgotten! More stress. Lovely, but yes, indeed it is.

10. Oh no! It’s too bad you have to support yourself and eat….otherwise it would be a great time to write all day.

    This didn’t take God by surprise, though — He has something in store for you. I’ll be praying.
    .-= Barbara H.´s last blog ..“Despise not thy mother when she is old.” =-.

    1. Barbara — you response was exactly what I needed to remember that I am not in this alone! Thank you.

11. Wow…back to reality with a konk on the head…sorry to hear about the job loss.
    .-= Shelly´s last blog ..Berry Breath =-.

    1. Shelly — yeah, it was kind of like, “Welcome home,” and then a punch in the nose.

12. God must have a better plan in store for you girl. Keep the faith.
    .-= Church Lady´s last blog ..Night Creature =-.

    1. CL — than you. I had momentarily forgotten that God is on control.

13. WHAT???? Are you telling me they COULD live without you??? NO WAY! You gotta be kiddin’ me! WOW! God must have something HUGE in store for you! But I sure feel sorry for those poor shmucks that let ya go…..
    .-= Melli´s last blog ..Day One… the AFTERMATH! =-.

    1. Melli — while I was gone a sweet, young college kid came in and did my job very well — for $5.00 per hour less than I do. That gave the boss an Epiphany.

14. Did you loose your job or did the boss just threaten. Pennies old supervisor would threaten every week. Anyway it was time to start looking for a new one.
    The odd thing was that I thought as the others have that this may be the time to write.
    .-= bettygram´s last blog ..Glimps at Lifest 2009 =-.

    1. Betty — I did not “lose” my job, nor did they threaten to fire me. They cut my hours from 30 to 10 hours per week and took away my health care.

15. That’s bad news. It’s no comfort, but you’re not alone – there are loads in your position at the moment. hope things work out soon.
    .-= Anthony North´s last blog ..MY MANIFESTO =-.

    1. Tony — yeah. Has anybody contemplated what happens when the chasm between the “haves” and “have nots” grows too wide? Maybe they should ask Marie Antoinette.

16. I wish I could help you find another job. But with your many talents it shouldn’t take too long. I will be praying for you.

17. All plans go out the window with first contact with the enemy. Basically no plan is going to go as expected.
