i need to vent about something terrible that has happend! =/

so to make a long story short.. i never thought id be the one to have to sit here and type this and talk about this, but yes girls i have been one of those to lose their jobs during this ****** crisis and terrible economy that we are living in today! it really ***** big time and i cant even begin to tell you girls how rough this has been on me! i really havent been dealing with this very well and it just doesnt help knowing i have a wedding to plan and this has to happen to me.. basically what happend was for the last few months things have been really bad at the nursery school that i work at. parents have been pulling their children out of the pre.k classes only because either they have lost their jobs themselves and cant afford to keep them there or simply just cause they are trying to save money and cut back on what they can and i guess taking their 4 year old child out of a private pre school is the easiest way to cut back and save money right now! so due to that my boss has had no choice but to join the pre.k classes into 1 classroom. which means she had to cut back and get rid of some of us and of course i was one of them! i have been working there for 6 years and it just breaks my heart to know i wont be there anymore! see my kiddies anymore, im going to miss them terribly, and the people i worked with! it just ***** so badly cause i didnt like the way my boss did it either. she gave me short notice of this, but is paying me for 2 weeks even though i wont be working anymore! (that is a guess a way of covering for that 2 week notice she didnt give us). it just kills cause i thought shed be able to hold off till june to let us go and just not have us back in september, but obviously i guess things were so bad she had to get rid of 8 of us this week.. yep i was one of the 8! =( i have been having a very hard time dealing with this and all i have been doing is crying about it. i feel so hopeless and depressed about it! with this terrible economy who the hell is going to hire?? i really think i am going to be without a job for a long time and this kills! i have a wedding i am planning and this is the last thing i needed to happen.. not to even mention the nissan murano me and the FH just leased.. LOVELY! ='( thank you girls for letting me vent.. i really needed to talk to you girls about this, as hard as it was for me to type this right now.. i am in tears and cant get over the fact i am one of those going thru this right now!

thank you for letting me vent and reading this long post.. sorry girls, again thanks a ton! dont know what i would do without my girls, friends and family and because of them all i have been trying to keep my head up high and hold on and try to get over this.. but its still very hard to! =/ xoxo!

they say.. when one door closes another one opens and sometimes its better things behind that open door.. i hope this is true, but with how everything is out there, i doubt i will have any luck in this right now! =/ god give me strength to just get thru this time, its all i am asking for.. its been really rough and ive been soo depressed about it that i just wanted to crawl into a ball and into a hole and not see anyone or talk to anyone! =/

I'm soooo sorry to hear this! This economy *****!!!!!!!!! If you need someone to talk to you can always fm me anytime. Hang in there! You'll find something else

you know what... it totally ***** that you lost your job... lets not sugar coat it.... it *****...
BUT just look at all of the old people who are seeing this happen for the second time in their lives...this depression has happened before and people pulled through... even if ur credit and everthing is ruined... i feel like it doesnt count because of the economy.... so if u can scrape by now... things will be better later...
i know it stinks and I feel for u... but u have the strength to pull through it... i know u do and u know u do... so (in a nice way) suck it up and pull yourself together... hold ur head up high... do what u can to survive.... what u cant do... u can't do... which is understandable.... and try ur best to be happy... because as ****** as things get... MONEY IS NOT A REASON TO BE HAPPY... be happy for being alive and living your life and being you...regardless of money... things are rough now but in the long run you will be okay

Suzie, praying for you, sweetie!!!!!! Mary MOB

yeah its easier said than done, really! i know what you mean and all but its very hard to sit here and say to myself money is nothing (and we all know it is not what makes us happy) its health and true happiness with the ones we love and care about. but really think about reality, you cant live in this world without a job, without money! to have the wedding we are having its with what?? money and working for it!! i have so many things in mind i want to get for my wedding and it is killing me knowing i have no job now and how am i going to pull thru during this hard time where it isnt very easy now to get a job out there.. i thank my friends and family and fh to have during this time who is helping me get thru this, but it is still very hard.. i wish i could just sit back and not worry and say i will be ok, cause in reality how can you?? without any money?? think about it!! thats the truth.. no money does not make me happy, being with the ones i love does, having true happiness and being healthy and alive does, and getting married to the one i love too death.. but in reality, what you cant live without is money! you cant have what you want! its very stressful.. i guess it really takes someone to be in this position and go thru it to really feel what i am feeling and what i am going thru.. its not a joke, and its real tuff!

thanks for your kind words though.. everyone has their different views on this and i do understand where you are coming from.. but like i said, its easier said than done! i do hope everything works out and gets better, but who knows what will happen.. i dont know and just right now i feel very hopeless! =/

girls.. thanks for being there and hearing me out and letting me vent during this crazy hard time for me! love you girls!

Im so sorry you are going threw this I really wish you the best of luck, all you could do is remain positive and try as much as you could to find another job, my heart goes out to you and if you need absolutely anthing know that we are here for you

I am SO sorry to hear this. Honestly, if it were me, I would definitely have a self-pity fest right now even though it may not be the most productive thing. But after that, try your best to be positive and persistent and hopefully you will find another job. It may not be the same pay and it may not be what you love to do, but hopefully you can find something to get you through. This is a really scary time. FH and I are both worried about our jobs as well. I wish you the best of luck. Let us know how everything turns out.

I am so sorry that this happened to you!

Social worker in me....did you file for unemeployment? You are entitled to it so go do that! Although it's not a lot of money it's something coming in while you are waiting to find something else.

Since you have a ton of experience with kids can you try to get some baby sitting gigs for the time being? Just to bring some money in, ya know? Try craigslist or something.

I feel your pain! FH lost his job for 6 months and we were not sure if we were going to have to push the wedding back or not. He now has a job but he is in the financial field and every day we just pray that he keeps this job!

Yes, I was going to suggest what VeggieBride said. MY sister started out babysitting at the gym while she was in college and got a ton of outside babysitting jobs and those parents referred her to other parents and so on. She actually now runs her own day care out of her house.

oh so sorry you are going through this. my heart goes out to you. it's really not fair. but hang in there. i'm sure something will eventually come through.

Sorry to hear about your job. Without knowing your financial situation...you could always apply for a job in the food industry. People need to eat and there are jobs there...maybe not high end restaurants but Chili's, fast food joints etc., supermarkets. There can be decent money there. Some people would rather not work at those types of jobs but there is money to be made. Food for thought...pun intended.

i'm so sorry that you are going through this. and that it's so sudden, and mostly, so unfair. i do know how you feel. and i hope that something comes to you,and quick!! if it helps, you can FM me if you want to vent more too! but i send you ' s and 's. you'll get through this.

I am so sorry...I know nothing I say can make you feel any better but things will work out for the best in the end.. Just keep your head up!

wow. So sorry. It is hard even WITH a job to get by these days so I cant even imagine what you are going through all while trying to plan your wedding.....

it'll get better.

I'm so sorry, I'm sure you will find something soon!!

I am sorry you lost your job. I have been through it twice over the years and beleive me both times I thought the world was going to end. And each time I actually came out better. You have to look at it that way. Things will work out. See if you can get a job waiting tables or soemthing just to get by. THats what I did and I ended up making more money than my regular job. All I can say is hussle cause that will get you a new job. Take some time and be scared and upset about losing the job but then just realize it will all work out. For some crazy reason....it always does.
