Hey, about time I got to read more than a couple FB lines. Thanks for all the cool sites you have provided, now Pinterest appears useful, so I asked for an invite.

I don’t know a single person who doesn’t check Facebook or blogs or otherwise fill their dead time at work with nonwork-related things. I’m sorry you were let go – that totally sucks.

I hope you find a new and amazing job: one where they truly appreciate your talents and your hard work.

In the meantime, are you going to be crossing off more items from your “To Do in 2011″ list?

I’m so sorry to hear about your job. I wanted to let you know that you’re not alone. I was fired about 4 years ago for something that was wrong and it was my own stupid fault. I still feel bad about it and I still have some regret, but I never would have started my own business without that boot out the door. Now I’m doing okay for myself (with more than a little help from Luke) and I get to be my own boss and do what I really enjoy. I feel like I’m slowly erasing the black mark. I definitely learned something. Keep your chin up my dear, things will work out, even when they don’t feel like they will.

oh becky. i love your transparency. and your honesty. those are respectable characteristics. but, i feel sad that you would even imply that you think you were a bad mom, if even for a day. i have seen you parent a million times and i have met your son. you are a great mother and you have a great son.

i think about you all the time. i pray this turns to be a blessing in disguise. i’ve talked about this with neil, matt and nicole and we all could have very well been in your shoes. easily. there comes a point in your job that you know what to do and you do it well and you do it fast. you’re not challenged, you’re not motivated and you start to find other ways to fill your time because you’ve finished your job and what else is there to do?

i love you lady. so much.

BY the way, you must be a patient mother. My kids would have had more than a time out in this situation. A warm bottom would have been a follow up to the bottle in the face incident.

But, I understand not everyone believes in corporal punishment, nor is it condoned in much of our culture. Plus, I don’t think spankings helped in the long run.

May I say a couple things. First, when one door closes, another opens. Second, while being let go is an ego blow*, no matter how you much you hate your job, this will be a blessing in disguise. You evidently were too comfortable to leave willingly, so this boot will help launch you to your new career.

So, blanket the community and Univ. with your presence and resumes. Do a little volunteer work with some prestigious people (United Way?) Never know what will happen. {this story will be a tale to tell friends down the road…the rest of us have a few to tell too!}

Glad you liked it! I thought it was cool too and put it on both my blog and on Jill’s blog.

Comment on Ahh…summer. How you fly by. by Aunt Janice

I just finished “The Tiger’s Wife” which won the Orange Prize for Fiction last year. Very good, and it made me want to learn more about wars in the former Yugoslavia. I figure if a fiction book makes you want to read related non-fiction, it must be a good one!
My next read is “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian.” It’s adolescent fiction, but I’ve heard glowing reviews from many adult readers I trust. I think some of the most engaging stuff out there right now is being written for adolescent readers. It’s an exciting genre.

Proud of you! Jumping (or running) out of your comfort zone once in a while is super-duper good for you. Bravo, my dear!
