Please send positive thoughts my way. I will be finding out tomorrow if they are going to outsource my department at the hospital I work at.

What is even worse, it look's as though my DH may loose his job in November if the voter's decide to close the casino's in the city he work's in. Yikes!:(
 
Aww...sorry Laurie - we'll pray that your dept. stays or there will be a good position for you!Start planning now! Cut back now with what you can and save all you can!
 
So sorry for this, Laurie. My husband has been cut at work also....I am hoping for both of our families and others in the same boat that the election will turn the tides....

or that McCain will let us all live in his 8 houses.

PRAY & VOTE!

We are all in this together. Hope you feel the hugs. Check your PMs.

Well I found out we will not find out until Thursday or Friday. My boss doesn't think it is going to hit staff, just management, but I am still worried. :confused:

DH works in Lakewood.
 
I can understand what you are going through... It took me almost 5 months to find work after I lost my job, and DH is on his 5th month without a job as well. I will pray for you and your DH!

PM me if you ever need to talk or vent or cry... I'm here for you. Sorry this is such a blah post, I'm wiped out and just took some Nyquil and I'm feeling a bit groovy... ;)
 
Saying prayers for you and your hubby, Laurie. Even if your manager doesn't think it'll affect you, one never knows now-a-days.

Sending good vibes!
 
I will be praying for you Laurie. HUGS!!

Any update?

Nothing yet. I am sitting on pins and needles, just doin' my job (well, when I am not taking a break a posting on here :)).

It is going to make for a very long day.
 
I'm praying for you. I hope it all works out.
 
Sending prayers your way Laurie.
 
Prayers headed your way Laurie.
 
Laurie, keep us informed. I'm praying that God would just come over you and wash you with His peace that surpasses all understanding...

Blessings! :)
 
Praying you'll find out one way or another instead of sitting on pins and needles. Of course, goes without saying...praying you'll get to keep your job!
 
Praying for you Laurie!!
 
big HUGS---
 
I will pray for you Laurie. When I worked at Staples our department (finance)
was outsourced to South Carolina! So many people lost their jobs. I only hope you don't have to experience that. :angel:
 
Any news yet, Laurie? Still wishing the best for you.
