$#*!@%!!! unemployed AGAIN!!!
What the hell am I, chopped liver?! If I were, at least I'd have a
future as cat food. Roswell park let me and the other temp go--this on the heels of our immediate boss having said they were hiring one other person in there for an open position of data entry clerk. Of course I'd jumped on this right off, sent Boss my resume, and said nothing until after she had dropped the bomb. When I asked if it were too premature to inquire of the status of my application, she apologized and said she could not justify hiring a new clerk presently; further, that she did want to call me back when things picked up. This may also only be so because it is frankly a pain in the tuchas to train a person on their very complex system when I or the other girl can just jump on it. But the other girl is pregnant and who knows if she can be available down the road? Now in fairness to Boss, the economic unpleasantness has been unkind to the hospital. No longer a state facility, it depends on charitable gifts to keep the research and treatments going. A more recent mail campaign was wounded sorely when it came to light that some poor schmuck at the hospital had bought and paid for a colossal mailing list consisting of...the dearly departed. Not recently departed either. Their stay in the Happy Place Where Cancer Doesn't Exist has been going on between five and seven years now. This was just a PR nightmare. Fewer of the living recipients responded to this campaign than had been projected. So, no more work available. I don't even know if I can go back on unemployment benefits, as this was a contract job. The claim in New York is three years in duration, but who the hell knows what the rules are in this instance? I have already had an agency tell me they don't want me unless I do call-center work, that miasma of evil that came close to ruining both my sanity and my marriage. Louie and several friends think I should be up front and tell these people that my medical professional does not believe that such an environment is good for my health. Yeah, good luck with that--who'll believe it? Boy, do I need job purrs now! What a crappy time to get sacked. Blessed be, Baha |

I am sorry to hear that. Many purrs for you.
I lost my job in September when my boss abruptly retired and closed her business. I am now working three low-wage jobs to make ends meet. --Fil Boy, do I need job purrs now! What a crappy time to get sacked. Blessed be, Baha |

Then job purrs for you, from my little ones! I did think about taking a couple of small things; I suppose I can take my pick of mall jobs for the holidays if things really start to suck. Better than nothing I guess. I just feel sometimes like the recruiters take one look at my last name and immediately assume I desire a phone bank job. (There are only two customer service people existing in this world. They work for every bank and credit card company in existence, as well as many satellite providers and communications services. Their names are Michael and Rachel, and they both live and work in Mumbai.) Stosh is here purring away and being such a handsome and attentive gent that it will be hard to go back to work!

Just a note...if you want a job at the mall for the holidays, get your
resumes out right now. One of my three jobs is that sort of seasonal thing, and I was hired on October 25 for it, and had had three interviews elsewhere for similar jobs before that time. I am still looking for a career-type job like my last one, but in the meantime, this will get me through the holidays. I'm now very glad I kept my night job. People asked me why I still did the night shift once per week when I had a day job. At the time, it was my entertainment money. Now it buys my groceries. --Fil Purrs for you to find another job soon.

Blessed be, Baha Well, I certainly know how you feel: I was laid off in July, and I don't have any prospects, so far. Times are tough everywhere; I'm just glad I don't live in Detroit While the lying politicians (is that an oxymoron?) try to convince us the economy is getting 'better', I continue to hear of the large numbers of people, just like you and me, being laid off. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^..^ "Life without cats would be only marginally worth living." -TC, and the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie.

Purrs to you too Fil. This economy sucks and I wish you the best.
I'm disabled, can't work, and still can't get health insurance. Kyla "Enfilade" I am sorry to hear that. Many purrs for you. I lost my job in September when my boss abruptly retired and closed her business. I am now working three low-wage jobs to make ends meet. --Fil Boy, do I need job purrs now!
