Change of Life

Got some very big news just a short while ago. The Borg corporate realignment plan has been completed. Apparently assimilation isn't inevitable after all.
I've lost my job, y'all. Effective about two hours ago.

Man, that just sucks! I really feel for you and I hope your job search is short.
I'm so sorry sweetie. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Very not cool. Perhaps those leads from a couple of weeks ago still have hope...
Wishing you the Best!
Jim, move your paypal link up 'above the fold' on your index page. It's perfectly ok in a case like this.
Oh, f**k.
Still got that head hunter's number, right?
I have no contacts in the Atlanta area I can think of off the top of my head, but you can bet I'll go away and think about it.
*Keeping my fingers crossed real tight*
ouch. Well you did say you got a call from some head hunters not too long ago.. But if you want another head hunter - look up Teksystems.
Damm. Just damm.
Oh Holy freaking bag of dog crap.
Are you serious?
What - I mean - WHAT THE HELL??
I got vodka. I got Hershey's kisses. Need vodka? Or Hershey's Kisses?
Damn.
that sucks. sorry to hear that Jim, ill say a prayer that you find a better job. i know you will, so hang in there.
NOOOOOOOOO!
Oh god, baby, I am so damn sorry I could stab people with pens.
I am so sorry.
Can I do anything? SKittles? Care packages? Anything?
Man, that sucks. Sucks. The. Big. Hind. Tit. I'm sorry about that.
Sorry to hear about this. I hope you find something new soon and it proves to be better.
Good luck!
I'm sending a virtual beer via PayPal
What a nightmare! My condolences. Great good luck to you, Jim.
:-( Sorry to hear it, Jim.
shoot. I am so sorry. I know the feeling. Praying that something better and with better pay comes along and quickly.
Sorry to hear about this, Jim. What is your profession?
Ah crap. :(
Rat bastards.
I think I may know a few recruiters in your industry. I'll whore your resume around if ya want.
sorry
that really rots.
wish i could help - but wrong state...
good luck...sending good thoughts - (thru RP)
Stupid evil corporate machine. Hang in there. Hope this is a minor bump along the road to lots of happiness and success.
Well that pretty much sucks rocks.
Here's wishing you & your family the strength to get through it all. Take really good care of each other, and get yourself a fantastic new gig.

I'm always the last to know everything, but then that's my own damn fault. Jim, I'm real real sorry, particularly as they had seemed to hold out hope of keeping you there for a bit. I swear to God corporations are the biggest damn teases out there.
Happy for Garret. Sad for you. Will see about buying you beer in the hopes that more free time = more drunken movie reviews for all your fans.
::: eating M&Ms like a madwoman :::
DAMNIT! If there's anything I can do. . .
That completely sucks. Let us know if we can do anything at all.
Remind me again -- what is your field? After all, Houston is a booming area, and I suspect I may know a few people.
well, that just sucks now doesn't it. Good luck hon. I'm sending some of my karma points your way!
That is just a bummer. My husband was downsized about a year and a half ago. He spent the first year of it back in school - now he's looking. Hope your job search goes well.
Prayers going your way Jim.
don't get sad, just vote!
Shit. I'm late on this one, J-Snooze.
I'm so sorry to hear about this bad news. Hopefully, this will open the door to many wonderful opportunities!
