Euphemisms suck

[fabrisse]

I have been Downsized.

My last day is December 4. Most of my office's last day is December 4.

I have told them that I would be interested with the other jobs in the company that are open. I am apparently the only American to date (they dropped the boom in their Boston office yesterday and hit Atlanta tomorrow.) to state that I'm willing to take a job in either Europe or India.

The truth is, that I'm happy in DC. If I can find a job here, I will take it.

When I informed the organization that I tutor for that I might not be able to honor the full school year commitment I made, the woman I report to sent me an email with job leads. She's also checking with other tutors to see if there are openings with their organizations.

Keep your fingers crossed that I find something. The energy feels right in DC, so if you feel like crossing your fingers that I get to stay here that's great too.

Hugs to everyone.

And, yes, I'm NOT going to be in London at the end of the month. I just can't afford it.

Thank you. If I end up in the Netherlands' office, maybe we can meet for coffee.

[tijmetje.livejournal.com]

I'd be up for that. :)

Oh, I'm so sorry, hon. I really hope that you find something else in DC so I will be crossing all my fingers that you find something soon.

I appreciate that. I was really hoping we would be meeting for lunch or tea in a couple of weeks.

Maybe next year, it will be possible.

[snopes-faith.livejournal.com]

It would have been my distinct pleasure, hon - as you say, hopefully when things pick up soon.

Good luck. I'm so sorry this has happened to you.

Thank you.

That SUCKS. I hope you get to stay there too!

If you go to India, I will totally visit you :) Come to think of it, I should visit you in DC as well.

Works for me. Just give me enough notice to clean the apartment. ;-)

Thank you for the good wishes.

Sorry as hell to read this! As the manager of the Seattle Pilots said a lot, "Shitfuck!"

I sure hope you do get a new job in D.C. Visiting with you in Europe or India would be a might out of our budget, not to mention how my ears might be (inoperable?) after the flight.

Thanks. See you 11/14.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. I hope you find something you like that keeps you in D.C.

[fabrisse.livejournal.com]

I appreciate that.

It would be nice not to have to move 3 times in a one year period. But I've done it before and can again if necessary.

Hugs back at you.

{{{hugs}}} I am so very sorry to hear about this.

Hugs back atcha, sweetie.

I hope to find something soon. Although I admit, I didn't apply for anything today. Just watched Hulu and made sure the workmen did their jobs.
