Welcome Dawn Miller! You've found a good home here. Stay awhile and you'll make some great friends.

Anyone heard from ~Christina today? Just hoping she checks in too.



New with me? My company plans to lay me off in 2-6 months. Their reason is that I'm fantastic at a job that is not the one in my job title. Essentially, my last department put me into a role that was not my Job Title's and used me as a jack of all trades, and my new department has no use for me in that role. I've tried to make myself indispensable, but cuts were coming either way. I'm just low-hanging fruit. I spent the day making myself invaluable to my old bosses and making calls to them. Hoping to open a door there. Holding together, barely. And I'm feeling the beginnings of mania setting in. Mania, to a break, to mania. Nothing in the middle. So strange. I think this batch has been triggered by the layoff news, somehow. The panic set in, and maybe that's whats pushing me along.

Sending all of you, my friends, all the good vibes I have. Keep your chin up, in these tough times.
