Telecommuting
I got lucky.
Just when the energy thing started to get seriuos, I landed a job which I can do quite well from my living room.
I think I'd probably go nuts if I tried to do it all the time, but I am most certainly willing to spend a few days a week doing it. If I really start to miss the traffic and the stink of real commuting, I still have a cube in a cube farm I can go off to. I'll try to make that a rare occurrence as I get trained up in my new position.
Life has been worse than this.
I was forced to find a new job after I had to have a laparoscopy that knocked me out of work for a month. The HR managing bitch from Hell of my former corp had me fill out some FMLA paperwork to cover my absence, then decided that I wasn't eligible for FMLA after all because my worksite didn't have the minimum number of people at it. The cunt sent me a certified letter informing me that if I was so much as late again, it was my ass.
I resigned that very day. And the very next day I got a call from a headhunter looking to fill...... a position I held 5 years ago. Although I had given the shitbag company I was working for at the time 3 weeks notice, I was anxious to get restarted somewhere else, and the firm I used to work at was anxious to have me return. So I did. Such a shame for my old employer, who intended to keep me around long enough to properly outsource me. Unless I was 5 minutes late or something.
I understand the management of my former employer is all pissed off because of how I blew them off. And there's some proof of that, since they have yet to give me a final paycheck. But you know? It's been worth it.

That's awesome! Not how ya company did you but that you still ended up on your feet.
I firmly believe we end up where we need to be when we're needed because that's the way it's supposed to work. I have seen people go unemployed for months and then when they finally end up working again it's like putting a hand into a glove. It was meant to be. Maybe this is your meant to be and if not, make the best of it while you got it till something better comes along.
Hope your weekend is a good one!
Bunches of hugs
Hope you had a wonderful weekend and I wish I would have known I was so close I would have invited you out for coffee!
Hugs!
Yep-you were "that" close :)
Perhaps next time-unless they'll let me do this job from Michigan, which I just might do :)
