so today...

is my last day here at work. the office closes tomm and i'm gonna take advantage and take mady in to see her pedi and go for her post-op for her ear tube surgery before my health insurance expires.

im grateful that i was able to find another job and run out of here with at least a 1 month severance package, but sadly the majority of the 66 employees here have been here for 20+ years and i hate to see them say good bye to each other. i had never been through a mass lay off before and seeing this and hearing their stories with each other just makes me sad for them. i shared 2 years here at allstate in which i even had my baby here, they threw me a baby shower to celebrate mady, and have kept tabs with my family.

i start my new job on july 2nd so i will not be on here much to post...this wknd we are taking off for what could be our last mini get-a-way wknd for the year.

experiencing this just makes me thank god for what i do have in my life...a healthy family, a home, a job that helps pay our bills, and a wonderful daughter & husband.

i hope that our economy makes a turn for the better soon...for those of you who are unemployed, or know someone who is unemployed, just wanted to stay to keep your faith!

    so sad.  Dh's company laid off two people in his office and I know how upset he was over that.  I can't imagine a mass layoff.  I'm so happy that you have a new job lined up.  Best of luck in your new adventure.  Enjoy your family time before the new position begins. 

    btw - I made a reference to you in my newest blog posting... check it out if you get a chance :)

    My BIL works for FPL and they had a massive layoff including his future MIL around the holidays - it was heartbreaking. 

    You are truly blessed - Congratulations on the new job!!  GL!
