OT- WHAT A SHOCK-- LOST MY JOB

Thanks Linda, I indeed have my integrity and my head is held high! I don't understand how some can go on day to day with out keeping their integrity intact and think that things are Better off this way or that when some/others are paying the price- BUT I am, moving on and know that I am right and have not wronged and again done my best! Yes indeed, their loss!  Thanks for the encouraging words and the info on the state! Your church being available is a plus and I will get in touch with you again soon to see if this is better for the OH family, ok? Hugz Dawn

that sucks. i'd kick them in the shins for you if i could. :) i'm a federal employee, and i kind of like it. we actually have decent benefits again with both eye and dental insurance. you can look up federal jobs by going to http://www.usajobs.gov. i hope you find something soon.

Thanks, I will look into that, thanks for the link! Hugz Dawn

Hey, is this the same Dawn that was on WLSINDY at one time? Your house burned down..Are you the same one? Just checking..regardless of that..sorry to hear about your job loss.
Hope things turn out great for you!

Hi Kathleen, Yep, it is me! I have been missing in action letely, trying to get things lined up with the new plans the school had set in motion after the holiday to only find out that I was being let go on Friday! I am in shock! My family and I were able to come back to our home on Niov. 1 st and have been getting the house in order and trying to move forward with our lives. It seems as if I keep stepping backwards but I know that eventually things will once again be alright! Missed you at the last exchanges! Thanks for checking in on me, hope to see ya again soon!

Hi Dawn, I'm really sorry to hear about your change in cir****tances.  I know it won't help pay the bills, but as long as you know you did what you thought was right, you did your best.  Sometimes that is all we have to keep us going.  I wish you luck in your job search and hope the next one turns out to be even better than what you had. Have you considered checking out the local Y.  They often have jobs working with children and since you enjoyed that maybe it would be good for you? Good luck job hunting!

Thanks for the tip Cindy and for thinking of me! Yep, unfortunately dignity and integrity don't pay the bills! If so I would be set and plenty of others would be suffering! I am checking out a position tomorrow, but I have lots of insecurities now to deal with. I have never been terminated, especially have I never been blind sided like tis and now I have a ton of emotions that I am trying to deal with and adjust to! I know that eventually this will all be a part of my past but until then... Thanks for thinking of me! Hugz Dawn

Dawn,

I'm so sorry.  I know you must be shocked.  I really hate this for you.  Especially since you were so excited about the new activities and crafts and such.  I know it doesn't help but it's really their fault.  Programs like that usually have a hard time finding quality people to work them.  I'm really sorry.

I hope you'll still consider meeting Sherry and the rest for lunch on Thursday.  I'd like to buy your lunch if you don't mind.  Just as a thank you for being the wonderful person you are and for worrying about the clothing exchanges and such during such a time.  You really are a jewel!  You seem to always put others before yourself.  That's a quality that's hard to find in people lately.

Please let me know how you're doing and if there's anything I can do to help, I'm here for you Sweetie!

Thanks Jacqui, It really is tough trying to get my mind to wrap around a;; of these changes and that the cir****tances changed so abruptly! I do know that I left with my integrity and my head held high, but I have no income for now and that is all that I am able to see at this time. I do plan on still coming and meeting and visiting you with the others on Thursday! Sherri had sent a post asking if I was still interested and would like to ride with her and Gail, so hopefully we will all see/meet each other on Thursday! I talked with a local church/school this morning that had just placed an ad in the Sunday paper and intend on going there tomorrow to fill out an application. This position is just for an instructors aide, but I am sure that I would still enjoy it as it is working with preschoolers and I have always said I wished they would all stay that size- LOL! Hopefully something will work out with this offer, I just am so devastated at being terminated that i am questioning everything! I know that I must move on, but I am having a hard time taking it all in. Thanks for thinking of me and offering to help! I will hopefully see ya on Thursday! Hugz Dawn

Sweetie, I am so sorry.  But I know you'll find something soon.  You are in my prayers.
