Last Day of Work
 
Is tomorrow.

I have VERY mixed feelings about this. On one hand I am very thankful to be leaving considering all the political stuff going on but on the other. . . . I am going to be without a job. Six of one, half dozen of another. LOL

Well, I would appreciate it if anyone could whisper a quick "Oh please Lord, I beseech you to help find Randy Wayne a job before he loses his house, car, wife, and starves to death! If you answer ANY prayer in my life, please grant this one for him! In Jesus wonderful name, amen!".

Simple. :)

Now would be a REALLY good time to abuse your technical skills, wouldn't it! :evilglee

Oh, oops! Of COURSE I'd be glad to pray for you! :whistle

The people there have NO IDEA! But my own personal professionalism keeps me from doing any damage.

:lol I haven't read you much, but I have to say I'm surprised. You strike me as a standout, for some reason, so I'll say that from my pov, God is mostly blessing those people who are, I'll say 'being removed from the system,' mostly against there will at first anyway-

so while I guess this doesn't help today, I'll pray for you (but not to santa claus, and not for presents, sorry), and tell you to count your blessings. You prayed for a way to get closer to God, I bet, and to really get put in a position to do his will? This is your answer. Just remember, in the 'hard times' you might experience soon, how God took care of your fam when you were all starving and homeless. lol.

Randy,

I was stunned when I lost my job after 18 years, but I believe now it was the best thing that could have happened to me.

I'm not making as much as I did, but I'm making it and I'm happy.

You will find a place that fits you too!

Praying you find another job, Randy. My husband quit his job a couple of months ago and just found out he could have been drawing unemployment this whole time. His boss called yesterday and said he had marked him down as a lay off. Thanks for letting us know. :smack

It may also help if I can get as many people here as possible to do a 7 day fast. If you can do LONGER, that would be even better!

He did yesterday, but they have some local work for him, possibly, next week. I said, "Would you go and get a job so I can have my life back?!" :heeheehee

Seriously, we have gotten a lot of work done around here with him off. Things we put off for way too long.

OKAY! Forget the lame pictures. Let's make an entrepreneur out of him - opening an E-bay or FB account.

Appealing to his feminine side, and corroborating with Tim-may, he could go to Martha Stewart's website, get some bath salt mixes and DO SOMETHING with those Tequila bottles!!! :thumbsup Lovely!!!! :heeheehee

Will be praying for ya RW. I know this must be a bittersweet day of sorts for you, as it is always scary to leave the familiar and move forward into the unknown. But, praying that all will be good in the end :)

I've been brewing my own Kombucha - it tastes great!!!! I replace the liquid needed in a Smoothie with the Kombucha. Makes a great Smoothie! Never as good with water anyway.

In an update, she says the reformulated GT's Original won't grow a Scoby, but I have tried it and it does work just fine.

RandyWayne,

I am also shocked and saddened to hear about your job situation. I certainly will be praying that this ends up being a blessing in disguise with something better for you and your family coming up.

I will also join Timmy in a 7 minute fast regarding your situation and expect good things from that!

Four years ago I had 3 or 4 months where there was a 50% chance I was going to lose my job. I was not looking forward to being around 50 years old and in the job market right in the middle of the recession. Thankfully it did not happen but those months were the longest of my life I think.
