downsized (not in a good way!)

Well, bless them at Park Nicollet-they are trying to stay solvent.  Unfortunately, my job was one of the ones they decided they could do without.  I am trying to see if they can shift me into another clinic/job....but I am really sad that I am no longer in my clinic-I think I had possibly the most perfect job I have ever had-the people I worked with were ALL pretty great to get along with.  My manager did not want to give me the boot, but PNC has to do what they gotta do.  I won't miss the drive or paying for parking at the hospital, but everything else....WAH!  So as of this Friday I am unemployed.  I have actually been out of work since 3/27, since I had surgery and am out on disability til the end of this week.  Oh, well.....That's the way the ball bounces. 

The good news is that I have been maintaining my loss for almost 3 years now-I am coming up on my 4 year surgiversary, and have never even had the 10lb 'bounce'.  Matter of fact, I think I am almost 10 lbs down from where I was a year ago....I keep hoping that I can slowly but surely get below the 200 mark.  I am just gonna think good thoughts and stay sane and healthy

miss you all-I know it has been awhile!

Oh Lynn, I'm sorry your got caught in this economic turmoil.  Good thoughts and prayers that God has opened a window for you.

Awww Lynn.... that sucks!  I pray you will be able to find a different position at a different clinic...  not many of us can honestly say we love our jobs!  So to be laid off has got to really hurt.

Hope your healing is going well - will we see you at support group tomorrow?  Hugs are called for!

I have to see how the day goes, but I would really like to be at group and see you all!!  hugs are such great pep-uppers!!
I am not worrying yet-just trying to make it day to day and heal so i am ready to work.

hugs to all....

Lynn, I'm so sorry to hear about your job. My fingers are crossed and thoughts are with you that you get transferred to a different clinic.

at least there are a few openings within PNC that might work out-so I have my updated resume in and we shall see.  I know Heavenly Father watches over me,and will help me find my way. 
thanks for your thoughts and crossed fingers!

Oh Lynn,
Sorry to hear about your job loss. You seem to have a wonderful attitude about it.
You haven't posted for a while.........great to hear from you. Good for you for maintaining so steady.

Take care,
Pat

yep-been kind of a lurker lately-had surgery and laid low!  I feel blessed to have worked with some really incredible people this last year, so that makes it both easier and harder to move on.

I upped my prozac at my doc's suggestion this winter-turns out that was a really good thing to do, it has helped with the stress we are going through.  Also helps keep craving/binging thoughts in line too,

gonna go to sleep-love to all-

I feel your pain, Lynn. I've been laid off since November. It's not fun at the time of getting the notice, but for me & my family, it's been a huge blessing in disguise in so many ways. I pray that you can find the silver lining as well, or get that transfer!!!

Painful as it is, it IS a blessing in some ways-not having to spend so much gas going to SLP every day, paying for parking.....and I may have to brush up on some dusty skills to transfer to another department.  I am okay with that completely.
God doesn't give us more than we can handle-sometimes we just got to ask for help!
