I hope you're well and that you do get a chance to explore writing more some day, although I think your blogs are a pretty good start!<br /><br />:) LLaurie Grassihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11297964722383351333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551994216062621619.post-51667351146742396822010-05-21T07:36:42.098-04:002010-05-21T07:36:42.098-04:00Glad to hear you are keeping busy, sorry that it h...Glad to hear you are keeping busy, sorry that it has to be on less than fun stuff.<br />I subscribed to MORNING COFFEE NEWSLETTER (all about freelancing) might be worth a shot.... They have proofreaders, writers and editors positions in their listings. Not always the most marvelous salaries (particularly not for the writers... $4.50 US for an article... maybe not so much... want at least enough to pay for more than one cup of coffee) but something to maybe look at.<br />There are days when I think that, if I ever got canned as a DBA again... I might go back and actually follow that writing career that my college PROF suggested would be good for me.... hmmmm <br />Good luck with the insurance. That, I think, would be MY biggest fear right now...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551994216062621619.post-46359825368277114372010-05-20T11:39:05.797-04:002010-05-20T11:39:05.797-04:00Hi guys!

I'm sorry to hear you both have gone through the same thing, Lene & Wren. It truly sucks! And I'm sorry, Wren, that you're not in a place where there's a possibility of another similar job – that's even worse. But it sounds like you're keeping busy writing from all I've read on your blog and I'm glad you have that – you're supertalented! And, Squirrel, as you point out, I'm in Toronto, which is a great city, so I'm hoping there will be opportunities.<br /><br />Take care everyone and I will post again as soon as I can!<br /><br />:) LLaurie Grassihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11297964722383351333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551994216062621619.post-39236227994199060272010-05-16T07:47:48.158-04:002010-05-16T07:47:48.158-04:00Sorry to hear you've got the added worry of he...Sorry to hear you've got the added worry of health insurance/meds to deal with on top of the job search - as if life wasn't stressful enough! On the plus side, you're in Toronto (great place, was there last year) and I'm sure there are plenty of opportunities for you, something will pop up when you least expect it.Squirrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00087794277683329143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551994216062621619.post-86304589130805559822010-05-15T20:53:55.312-04:002010-05-15T20:53:55.312-04:00Glad to hear from you again, Laurie.

You've been in my thoughts; I was laid off from my job as the managing editor of a community newspaper several years ago -- and there just isn't anything else remotely like it in my stomping grounds. I know how devastating this can be, particularly when it happens with no warning. Sounds like you're doing everything right, though, and I'm sure you'll find something else that's just as satisfying (and hopefully, as lucrative). How's your RA been through this? I hope you haven't been hurting too much.<br />-WrenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551994216062621619.post-66798811270604793602010-05-15T10:55:47.162-04:002010-05-15T10:55:47.162-04:00Amazing how being out of a job can be a full-time ...Amazing how being out of a job can be a full-time job, huh?
