downsized (not in a good way!)

I'm so sorry Lynn. We reported that story last night. I was praying for good news on the OH front. I am sorry to hear this! Hopefully you can get transferred to another clinic.

Congrats on being so upbeat though and doing so good with your tool!

Thanks Elena-
It has been really tough-at least PNC has been ahead of the worst of it so they have been more controlled and planned ahead about what they could cut.  I still think they are a great organization, and would love to stay here in any capacity I can.  I will let you all know if they let me transfer down to BV!!

In the same boat I'll be laid off from my research clinic position  at the u of m on June 5Th. not a lot of jobs out there right now I have a small severance packet and I should be able to get by for a short time may have to do agency and possible travelers for a while . lucky for me my niece and her boy friend are moving in with me they can't afford a lot but the will be paying some rent and every little bit helps. glad to hear your weight is stable I may self am stuck at 195 my goal is 175 but I just cant seem to get there been sense late Oct. 08. oh well Not gaining works if even if not lossing best of luck for all of us.

Wow, Nancee-they at least let you know with plenty of notice! Yup, this is not the time to be too picky about work-lucky to get it and keep it if you find it.  good luck with your job searching, and good for you that you are staying stable-Not gaining is my real goal, losing more is just gravy!!

Lynn....sorry to here of your lay off. Things are getting bad all over. So many people without jobs and so few jobs.
I wish you the very best....hope you find something you enjoy as much as ther other job.

Hugs.....connie d

Thanks Connie-one thing working as a temp showed me was that life goes on when a job ends-so I will just roll with the punches and see where I land.  Hopefully I will find another great job with great people again.  Tomorrow is a new day....
hugs!

You sound pretty up for someone who just lost your job - good for you!  Or maybe it's the fact that you might get to spend more time with that beautiful grandson of yours!!!   So sorry to hear about the job loss though, especially when you were in such a great place - not everyone can say that.  Keep up the great attitude though and you'll find something else quick!

And great job on the maintaining your loss! 4 years out and still going strong. You are an inspiration to those of us still hoping to lose more!

Hope to see you tonight at group!  Take care and HUGS!

Thanks sweetie-I just got out of bed today, been down with a horrible migraine today.  I definitely am enjoying time with Micah, who gets more adorable every day.  I have actually been home for almost a month, since I had surgery.  I was supposed to return to work next week.  The only down side has been lifting restrictions-no more than 10 lbs for the next 3 months.  so no picking up my cutie,

I just have to believe that when the door closes, the window opens-so there is no need to get upset.  I have had a great time there, and hopefully things will turn around someday and I can get back there. 

not making group tonight, just can't drag myself with my head hurting so bad-see you soon, though!
