Something about Mari--a little long, please bear with me

I've been hinting around that there was something going on with me, but was loathe to talk about it until I knew something more definitive.  I still don't know all the details, but here goes.  The aerospace company I was stationed at here in HSV chose not to renew their contract with the company I work for, effective 1/22.  I don't know if this means that I will no longer have a job or if they are still thinking about moving me to So AL. The EH&S rep. is also working on "something" because he really hates to lose me, but this is off my company's radar. MY boss is still unaware of the latest and greatest at this point as he is out of town, and I have only spoken with the Sales Rep. I am, at this writing, updating my resume and am going to put out there both in AL and TX. I am trying to be proactive, when (notice I don't say IF) the worst happens, because I just don't know. I really would LOVE to come home to Texas, I feel like this prison sentence has been long enough and I have served my time..........just sayin'.

If any of you guys who may have any contacts and/or leads (and I know lots of us are out there looking) they would like to share with me, I would greatly appreciate it. 

What is it about me and the month of January?? Remember, I was laidoff LAST year on January 12th. I only missed it by a day with this bad news. I'm trying to keep my head/chin up, stay positive and focused, but DAYAM this is hard and I am afraid it may get the best of me sooner or later.     

EDIT...Where is Jodie and her stick??  I need to beat some sense into those folks I work for!!!!!

Crap!  ((((Mari)))) I know you mentioned a week or several weeks ago things weren't looking very impressive.  I'm sorry sweetie, can you tell us again what you do?  I'm sure Podunk La. has nothing close to where I live but maybe I know someone that does your type of work that I can speak to for you.

Keep your chin up, yes it's hard.  Praying for a new job where you want to be soon.

Hugs,

girl,

I told you this morning it's time to come home!  I agree that there is no need to wait for news.  Being proactive is the best.  I just updated my resume and I think we ALL should these days.

I'm praying that it all works out quickly and the best way possible.

Hugs.

I think you've done your sentence and served your time.  IMHO  Keep your chin up and look for the open window/door when the other one closes.

And, BTW, I update my resume about every 6 months just because.

It hasn't closed yet, but I hear the creaking hinges.............. kinda reminds me of a cell door.

Sorry things aren't looking to bright on the job front.   There is always high school science teacher/math teachers jobs if that is up your alley!  I think all the aerospace jobs in Livingston, TX are probably filled up at this point.  We do however, have the death row unit for TX and they're always looking for hot new female employees!

Hey what's up with that, Movie Star!!!  I think those thorns have pierced something in your brain....either that or you have gone just plumb today!!!

Awww Mari, I'm so sorry to hear that. I know it is such discouraging news, but like you said, they are pushing to try to keep you... That says a lot about your work...I bet it all works out, but, I do indeed think this is just a sign to tell you it's time to come back home to us in TX!!!! Please keep us updated.

That's what my sister in Fredericksburg and my BFF in Houston keep saying  --  "Just bag it and come back to TX!!"  Easier said than done!  Whew!  I'm pretty upset about it all right now...am now home and by myself.  It may be time to let go of the tears that have been threatening for most of the day...

This is supposed to be the best time of my life, I'm thin for the first time in 27 years, my health is better than it has been in many years.  Why can't anything go right in my professional life right about now???
