Back to work

[grinner]

Well, as most of you know, I was laid off in April and have been bored all summer. Well, after over 60 resumes sent out and 9 interviews... I am back with the company that laid me off. Yeah, I know I said I wasn't going to go back... but this is rediculous. My brother sent out over 100 resumes and once he got a new job, he had 12 interviews/offers... so I am hoping for the same thing. Pay is the same as when I was let go, so that isn't bad. Start again on Wednesday... so I will finally be able to have money. Yeah me!!! :rolleyes:

Congrats grinner ! Does this mean you'll stop messing with your damn avatar? :rollin:

[generic_screenname]

About time, you lazy bum! :D

[Kurt_eh]

So, does that count as a Leave of Absense or a Sabaticle? :D

Hopefully something better comes along, but kudos for now! ;)

[Darth Buddha]

Very good news indeed! The few times I've been unemployed it has made me CRAZY.. and I'd bet it made you pretty nuts too!

[grinner]

It counts as a layoff. I don't lose my seniority or my vacation time... but I lose all the weeks of vacation for this year.

[grinner]

Congrats grinner ! Does this mean you'll stop messing with your damn avatar? :rollin:
You know, since I have been laid off, I have changed that damn avatar over 100 times.:rolleyes:

[Kurt_eh]

That sucks. Will they at least give you some time at Christmas?

[grinner]

Oh, I will still get the 8 days off that the company still has this year. I just lose the 3 weeks of vacation and the 5 sick days. One cool thing is that, added all together, I have 35 days off a year. Because of Government regulations... and Federal Holidays.

[scrape_medic]

35 days off a year.....and they are all called Sunday.....

Well at least you will be gainfully employed again.......and you know I think you have changed your avatar at least three times just today......:P

[Digger]

Excellent News grinner! And you're probably right. For whatever reason, employers are more apt to give offers to people who are already working than those who are not. I hope they start pouring in for you.

[trubador]

:woohoo: I was just about to PM you about your situation when I logged on today! :aok: it may be your old job, butu it's better than nothing for the time being. Did they miss yah? :P

[grinner]

yeah they did miss me. They actually had to call 'Tech Support' instead of run to me. :P

[who45]

You know, since I have been laid off, I have changed that damn avatar over 100 times.:rolleyes: Yeah, we know :lol :D :P

[JadedLegend3]

[Johnsgirl727]

grinner, I'm so relieved for you. :hug: I know what it feels like to have been laid off a job.

[I-am-so-Johns-girl]

[BrowderChick]

:hug:

:D:D

[StarsGoBlue]

a job is a job, and benefits are nothing to be sneezed at. yay you! :hug:

:woohoo:

[grinner]

yeah, I am thinking that on January First or there about... I may have to 'injure' my shoulder... or maybe my knee. though the knee would be a two week turn-around... the shoulder will be a long recovery time.
