So long and thanks for all the fish...

An odd day.

I lost my job today, though it'll be a year before my position is eradicated. They are 'restructuring'. Not just me; all the full-time theatre staff.

Not exactly a surprise.

Now I have to figure out what to do. Job-hunting has never been my favourite thing.

Oh, dear. I'm sorry. Here's hoping something new and wonderful comes your way soon.

Nice icon, btw.

Here's hoping something new and wonderful comes your way soon.

Yes. I think I'd like a change. The question is: to what?

At least I have time to think about it.

Nice icon, btw.

Thank you! It's by the lovely and talented rabecka.

Sigh. I'm sorry to hear that. (Having been laid off back in late April or early May, I was not happy about it either.)

Wishing you all the best in your belated job hunting ...

[cyberducks.livejournal.com]

That sucks - but at least you have a year to search for a new job.

[jackarono.livejournal.com]

Hugs, Far! I hate jobhunting too. And a year's notice, good, but does that mean a year of jobhunting???

[commodorified.livejournal.com]

Oh, HON.

But, as everyone said, you have a year. I assume if you find something good you could go sooner?

*hugs you a lot*

*hugs you*

Oh no! :( I'm sorry to hear that. But as everyone is saying, thank goodness you have time to look around. I'm glad you feel possible about the change.

My best!

Oh, how sucky. I'm sorry. I'm glad you have plenty of notice, but changing is not easy, especially the decision making part.

[jwaneeta.livejournal.com]

Ugh, so sorry. Hopefully the year's notice will give you time to find something excellent.

[darthhellokitty.livejournal.com]

You'll do fine, and definitely, a year to look is excellent.

This can't bode well for the theater...

[gypsylady.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow, I'm really sorry to hear that. Still, it's good that you can be upfront and honest about your job searching. Makes it easier to ease yourself out of one workplace and into another.

I'm thinking lots of job friendly thoughts for you.

[fairestcat]

*hugs* That just really, really sucks. I'm sorry.

[nina-ds.livejournal.com]

Ugh. Yeah, depressing and disappointing, but alas, so unsurprising in the arts. I'm sorry, that really sucks.

The long lead time is an advantage in that you don't have to take the first thing that comes along unless it really suits you. But it's not going to feel that way for a while. :(

[jkluge.livejournal.com]

Oh, no! I'm so sorry. :-(

[lilithilien.livejournal.com]

Oh that's awful! I'm so sorry!

[walkingowl.livejournal.com]

Now you can doff that silly civilian identity, and take your full and rightful place among the rest of Alpha Flight.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Oh ugh, so sorry to hear that. A year's notice is better than none, and hopefully you'll have time to find something that you want to do, rather than having to take something.

Good luck!

[elebridith]

Ugh. That sucks. Really really sorry to hear that. *hugs* Cross my fingers that you find something new in time!

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

Oh Damn! Sorry to hear that.

*crosses things for you and sends positive vibes*

[gillo]

OMG. That really sucks. I'm so sorry, pet. {{hugs}}

[lunacy-gal.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry! *hugs*

[neadods.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm so sorry! Best of luck you find something quick.

[laitosto.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry to hear this. You have many wonderful talents that an organization would be happy to have. I hope you land into something even better than what you have now.

[sraun]

Condolences. And wishes of massive luck finding something you'll love as a new job!

I'm sorry to hear that. Job-hunting is not fun. Good luck to you in finding an appropriate position soon.
