Everything is going up, all my expenses. Gas and food are through the roof. I suppose I will start hitting the pavement to see if there is anything out there.

I'm hoping you find something better very soon.

Blessings and abundance to you soon!

I pray that you will have some alternative reveal itself to you, keep asking your guides to help you find your best way to be in service to mankind and in your own JOY

But I'll keep trying.

And no, I'm not suggesting that Mars Rx "took" your job. Just that it's known for...issues in employment, specifically, people being fired for petty reasons.

It's just not a good time, but then is there ever a good time to be fired? It seems four and a half years of faithful service counts for nothing in this world.

Every little bit helps.

I wish you all the best.

I was considered contract labor, so he never took out deductions for unemployment. I basically had to file my FICA and FIT taxes myself. I didn't really make enough for state taxes so my accountant never filed for them. Thank you for your hug.

Currently the kids are still in school so you have the advantage of being available now.

It seems really shortsighted IMO for your employer to let you go for $2.00 an hour difference
when there is training necessary for a new employee and he does not know how they will work
out. Really, after you gave them four years of service they do this. Sad.

Here's another hug in case the first one wears off....

I hope that other door opens for you soon. Sending you lots of hugs.

Sorry to hear it, Cleita. Sending good vibes for the perfect job for you. Hang in there.

I hope when one door closes another opens.

Here's my hope- something much more fun, which pays a tad more finds it's way to you.

Sending hope and hugs,

All you guys are so sweet.

I heard this interesting program tonight on "On Point." It's an avenue for odd jobs and also to sell things.

I hope you listen to the program. They had a number of experts on the show that I thought had good comments. There are some articles listed below at the web site that you might also want to read.

There are at least three sites to check out. Zaarly looked like the most interesting one to me.

I think it's sickening that your employer let you go over $2 an hour! I think he will be sorry. He will have to train, and that's an expense he'll have to recoup right there. In a friendly way, maybe you can say that if things don't work out for him, he is welcome to recontact you.

I would go see all the other docs in town and do it right away, too.

Don't let the age thing get you down. In my circle of friends in the last year:

--1 65-year old attained a high-level national management job
--1 62-year old attained a $350 a day consulting job on an indefinite basis
--1 56-year old opened a creative business where she restores and sells furniture out of a workshop in her home. Business is booming and she's having a ball meeting new people.
1 62-year old attained a regular, f-t job in a school of dentistry, where she places students in residencies

Keep us posted. You might be surprised at what comes up.

Also, I agree with Blue Iris, above. I think this is a time for employment falling by the wayside for reasons that are not so substantial.

appointments I had to keep this morning, but I will and thank you so much for sharing. I'll let you know when I do.

Sending out good vibes that you find another job soon.

I do appreciate it.

by the time the Sun leaves the sign of Gemini.

I was talking to one of the trainers at the gym today and she says she will keep her ears open with her clients because a lot of them are business owners in the area. This may be the way. In this job market even the poorest paying jobs in my area have hundreds of applicants.

I hope another huge door opens soon so you don't have to stress for long.

All I can do is send you positive vibes and thoughts. They are going out to you right now.

therein lies the rub......

I'm sorry you lost your job. That sucks. But I have a sneaking suspicion that you'll be missed because you did more than this other person would be willing to do.

Here's hoping that another, much better job comes your way soon!!

He was very hard to get along with.

Hiring a new employee during a Mars/Mercury retro is probably a bad move. I bet there will be something with the new moon later this month.

Sending !!! I can't wait till you find the right job for you! Where you will be fairly compensated for your work and appreciated for the wonderful employee that you are!. And really kick ass benifits!!!

I hope you are right.

person who gave me this said she's had some luck in the past with this.

It looks like they have a lot of jobs there and working from home is appealing.

I hope for the best in your job search.

May your path brighten soon! Call it a feeling, if you wish, but I think you will come out of this better off than you were.

Did I ever tell you that my first name is Laura too? Although I go by a nickname and don't use it much.

Nice to find another! Mrs Grumpy (can't remember her curret DU name, I know she changed it to something else) is also named Laura. We used to joke about it sometimes in our posts. Well met!



Laura

Sending my highest vibes to you for something much better, working with someone you respect and doing work that brings you joy.

You are very kind.

What a shock! From what you've said from time to time, I thought your job was secure. I imagine this just came out of nowhere. So sorry you have to deal with this now. I feel like you'll get something that is easier on you and pays even better!

we don't have any laws to cover workplace abuses I guess we have to suck it up. Frankly, I feel like a weight has lifted. Now I just have to figure out how to make some money.

It always sucks to lose a job, no matter what the circumstances. I hope you find something you love, soon

Here's another site to look at, though it's for coaching to work what you love or put your love into your work: http://www.workfromwithin.com/
