I love you, Melissa.

Awww I’m really sorry to hear that. Can we now hear all the juicy details of working at that environment?

That’s sucky! But you will find a new job! A betterererer one! And you shall make new friends!

I know what you mean about the cubicle thing. All I want is to have my own little space where I can focus on something that is in no way related to organic food.

Oh wow, Melissa. I’m so sorry to hear this. I’m glad you’ll be okay though. *Hug*

Ugh. I can’t even imagine. It’s one of those things where I knew the economy was bad, but I don’t really know anyone who has been laid off.

I would start checking out places like Authentic Jobs or perusing LinkedIn (if you have an account) to see if you can find anything up your alley. I see someone on Plurk mentioned freelancing, but I feel like it’s one of those things that’s extremely hard to pull off if you are just starting out - it’s the sort of thing you want to CHOOSE to do, not be FORCED to do, you know what I mean?

On this same note, avoid Craigslist like the plague for web jobs. It’s full of people going, “I have $30 and I would like a custom-designed e-commerce site. Budget is non-negotiable.” Awful, awful stuff.

Also, it’s okay to be sad about this - I think some people will say “it’s just a job” or whatever, but if it’s a job you loved at a place that rocked and supported you, well, it’s not “just” a job. It’s fun! You want to be the sort of person that likes what they do.

Best of luck to you, and I’m so sorry this came right after your wonderful news!

I’m so sorry hun, thats really shitty :(. But it’s great that your looking at the positives in the situation.

I’m so sorry hon. I know you’re going to miss that job.

Aw I’d be sad to let my dream job go as well, it’s completely understandable that you’d feel that way. I think it’s great that you’re still grateful but it’s still okay to feel sad about news like this. I hope you find another job that ends up being just as great for you

Awwh, I’m so sorry. Words don’t even come to mind to let you know how empathetic I am right now. I can’t even imagine what it’s like to lose a job.

I’m so sorry.
I think that’s all I can say.

Aw, Mel, I’m sorry. But hey, maybe this was meant to happen because when you go to search for a new job, it turns out to be even better! I bet it will be!

Oh no, I’m sorry to hear that. But like Angela said, it’s good that you’re staying positive.

I’m pretty sure you know about this, but I kind of felt like that when I was about to graduate from college, since I didn’t want to leave that school and my classmates behind. I mean, what other place would I go to that has painting students, sculpting students, animation students, graphic designers, multimedia…folks and whatnot in the same building/department?? (Not to mention, like with any group of people you become accustomed to, I thought we were a pretty unique bunch, what with our cracking jokes about classes, projects…and teachers occasionally. ) I’d say you’re handling this a lot better than I would’ve.

im so sorry to hear about the news. Its always hard to part with something that you have gotten to like and something that you are already so used to it. I hope that you will be okay and there will be new ventures and great things coming your way.

take care *lends a shoulder*

That’s really sad, Melissa…… I’m so sorry to hear… Hopefully you will find another job that’s just as good, if not better. But I understand not wanting to lose those ties you’ve made with your co-workers.

I hope it doesn’t come to that. You are an awesome person, and I know it won’t be the last that anyone’s heard of you. You’ll get yourself out there again at some point; I know you will.

*big hugs*

I am so sorry, Mel. I hate it when people lose jobs. I knew how much you love this job. The best advice I can give you is to get the contact information with your buddies and agree to meet with them every now & then. That is what I do with my friends from the Sheriffs Office I used to work at. Maybe that will help you feel better.

Awwww!! What a major bummer!! I know how much you loved your job there. It’s too bad. But maybe you’ll find an even more awesomer job now? I hope so!!!

Ohh, that’s really sad. I hope you’ll find a new job as soon as possible and that you will still meet your ‘old’ colleagues to have fun with. Wishing you the best

Eh, I’m sorry to hear, that sucks
I hope you’ll find a job you’ll like just the same way, with great people

Aw, that sucks.

You never know though, as one door closes another opens.. you may find another BETTER job now. Definitely keep in touch with your other coworkers though.

Good luck in finding another job.

Oh I am sorry about you loosing the job But I hope you will find a new one very soon!

You know where to find me (qbee IRC! ) if there’s anything I can do…

I’m sorry to hear about your job! It sucks that you won’t be able to hang out with your coworkers in the same setting - but, you know what they say… Where one door closes, another opens.

Good luck!

Sorry to hear about that, my friend was recently in the same situation.

Even though it won’t be the same, hopefully when you find a new place to work it’ll be close to your dream job and the atmosphere will bear some resemblance.

Oh Mellie *hugs* I know just how you feel as I just went through this when my call center was closed down. (i’m sure you remember how stressed i was when i posted in theqbee forums, i still remember your kind words ). Having to leave my cubicle after three years was hard!! But now i’ve found an even better work situation. So, it’s good to remember that everything happens for a reason, right? Doesn’t take the sadness away, but maybe it’ll give you some hope. *hugs*

That sucks about your job. I was a receptionist for an accounting firm and got let go in February for undisclosed reasons. I was really upset about it, because I loved all my coworkers so much, and the job was easy.

I’ve always wanted a cubicle. I’m jealous. :3

No, you keep the triplets. I’ll adopt your cats though?

That sucks!! Especially since: a) jobs aren’t as available as they once were, b) it was your first job. Hope things get better soon!

Hey Mel, late reply, sorry to hear about this babe :\ you know you have all of our support. Let me know if you need a reference…

Aww I’m sorry you’re job’s been cut. It’s so hard to find a place to work where you enjoy the job, AND the co-workers! Maybe something better will come along, and this could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

Congratulations on your engagement. I found your website through a fanlisting and I love your layout, by the way.

I’m sorry about your job. You seem really talented in web design/development, so I am sure you will be able to find something else soon. And hopefully something better! You don’t want to work at a place where they are that quick to let you go anyway. Good luck!

I’ll hire you… for things

All joking set aside, I am sorry for the job loss. I know how you feel because I was in a similar situation with my Intel internship. At least you know there’s something better waiting for you out there. Besides, your designs kickass so I have no doubt you’ll find another job.

You should try free-lancing. It’s kinda hard to kick-start, of course, but you could get a portfolio together and start looking around for people in your area who might need web-design for their companies.

In any case, I hope you find something that will keep you as interested in your job, if not more, than your last job.

I wish you luck finding a new job.

Oh, I’m really sorry to hear about your job I really hope you’ll be able to find one you like as much or even more!

I just checked out the Zombuki site. They’re adorable. I’m really in love with “Galupe.”
