Thats Right!!
Company downsizing, staff dissappearing, guess my turn would come eventually.
Its not the job loss thats a drag, its the "Having to learn something new and fit in with a new crowd of people" thats a bummer.
Just when id put a down-payment on that new Kennel as well !!

If I know Cappies, they'll bounce back no matter what. Get the initial depression stage over with...then go into the Cap's famed 'survival mode'. Caps will survive no matter what.

The only thing holding back a Capricorn is their own confidence. Once they realize that they have an inner reserve of strength, confidence & tenacity, they are unbeatable.

Dogsbody, it's time to metamorph into a WOLFsbody. Endure the winter cold but come out of it stronger than ever before 🙂

Oh .... DB 😢 I'm so sorry man, things are nuts where I am right now. People are getting laid off everytime to blink an eye. So with enough time are choosing to retire instead of having to deal with the uncertainty.

As a capricorn and as a regular human being, you have my support.

What are you taking up next? What are you going to learn?

Sorry to hear that DB

Pah - being a capricorn, you would sure find a job sooner or later - cos we're stubborn, determined and always aim for success.nothing can stop you. but for the time being, it would be helpful to take the time off and just chill=D

Since you said you know your time is coming. Now is the time for stragety.
With the Christmas Holiday shortly approaching. Do your best to still enjoy this time.
Tax season is coming, which may give you the edge in the financial department till you find something that fits you. Good Luck.

It means a lot

They brought one of those "Hatchet People" in to save money!!!!
Ive seen some really good people go in the last few months, its sad 😢
Ill never be able to work out the "Mind" of these people that can just fire others at the stroke of a pen, and not have a twinge of concience about it!!!
People who have mortgates, kids etc ,ect

Anyway, now the Resume gets updated and its back on the Merry GO Round.

Cheers Guys

What happened sweetie?

The union ... and those who have more years then I do there 😉 They couldn't do anything to me if I were part of the union but because I'm not then ....

I have been trying to not focus on it because I have way too much going for the next 10 days.
