DU, I've been dealing with a tough situation for the past couple of weeks
Edited on Fri Jun-03-05 01:36 PM by xultar
2 weeks ago my company called me on my cell phone while I was on the road with a client to tell me I was LAID OFF!

I was really upset. I only told 1 DUer. She knows who she is!

She is AWESOME. We talked on the phone and PMed each other. Just the fact that she was there helped me a lot.

As for the lay-off, well I've been transferred to another area within my company thanks to some people who fought to keep me on board.

To my FAVORITE DUer...:loveya:
To those in my company who fought for me this week:loveya:

Thanks to the transfer I won't have to travel as much. I'll still be able to prepare to go to school and become a vetrinarian and fjullfill my dreams.

3. The way you handled the setback says everything about you!
It's not that we fall, its that we get back up. You are one strong smart sista and you will be a great vet one day, I'm sure.

5. Thank you so much. One thing I wanna do as a vet is provide free
spay and neuter and travel to third world countries to do free spay and neuter also.

Didn't know you were bilingual. ;)

Congratulations, by the way. But I'm disappointed that we won't be getting any more drunk airport threads from ya.

20. Sometimes when you fall off the cliff
people step up to hand you parachutes.

Good luck in your new position.
