  it sucks.

  lots of very talented people were just laid off at the company i work for.

  lots of technology (software development) jobs going over seas.. i distinctly recall a meeting where leadership said, with a straight face, that jobs were not going to be sent overseas.

  I hear you, Else. Whether or not we like it, we are living in a global job market. Our kids are going to be competing for even fewer jobs and staying at home longer unless we are able to find a reasonable balance between quality and cost in this country. In the young, between 18 and 26, unemployment in the US is reaching 56% at last look and climbing.

  Whether it is corporate greed or that our labor forces are no longer competitive in the world marketplace, or even if our businesses are being taxed to death, who is to know for sure? And you are right, it sucks to lose good people knowing that the work is going somewhere else.

  another gem from the same edition - article to be studied december 28 - january 3 (which most will miss lol coz of summer vacation) entitled "what do your prayers say about you?

  " page 6 para 19 reads:.

  19 when we are being represented in public prayer, we need to display reverential "fear of god.

  That is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard them 'say'... although, now that I really think about it... Um... no, not really... there's been worse...

  *shrugs*

  Honestly, who writes this stuff anyhow... monkeys on dope?

  Um... no. Not really. I mean, I could, but I doubt you'd get it... The girls in the room would, but the boys would be completely and utterly lost.

  Ok... I finally believe it. I mean, my mom warned me that this was the truth, but I didn't want to believe it. It made the world a very scary place for everyone if it were true given how much influence they've had in the course of history... but, it's true...

  There is no such thing as a Man... only little boys, just bigger.

  Don't know if I can deal with the revelation.

  You might consider a trust for the grandkids with stipulations on the money... a college trust would be great. If they learn, they get the money, if not... well.

  I understand what you mean, though. It's a tough decision...

  i thought it best i stay a lurker.

  it's just right now, i'm going through some doubts and just plain discouraged.

  sometimes, trying to do everything just wears me out, and i feel like i'm suffocating.

  I agree with Quandry. Taking a class at a local community college in something that interests you is not only refreshing and very inexpensive, but puts you in contact with others who have similar interests. If you make it a liberal arts class like a theatre or art class, you are likely to see a wide variety of ages and backgrounds, male and female. Instead of focusing on finding a partner, focus on finding a group of people who like what you do... friendships are rewarding in themselves, but they often lead to meeting someone you will adore and vice-versa.

  has your life been "blessed" since leaving?

  by tigeress in

  2. friends

  while in the org we are constantly told that if we just tow the line and behave that will we be blessed and everything we want will come to us.

  personaly i havn't found that to be the case in the 30 years i spent trying to tow the line.. but now i've left wonderfull things are starting to happen in my life and i'm so very happy!.

  so i wondered, have you encountered more "blessings" or less since leaving?.
