Losing Your job is such a multifacted experience. I have known for quite some time that My company was going downhill. On Friday they had to let Me and 12 other people go. I really liked this job. I had a chance to expand My talents and grow so even though I will be looking for work again, I feel it was a positive experience and it is really nice to have people tell Me that I was valued and will be missed. In addition to missing My job, I need the money. I am not one of those blessed people that don't have to worry. At least this time I'm not terrified.
All that said, for someone like Me it is a frightening experience. I have been in a place where I really didnt know what I was going to do next and for people that have never been there, it's a truly horrible experience. Even though I knew it was coming, it still didn't reduce the feeling of fear in My belly when he said, "We are going to have to lay you all off." It is times like these that I am so thankful for Charles and finn and My family because I have this innate fear of being one of those poor people pushing around a shopping cart. Yes finnboy I know you wouldn't let Me be a shoppingcart lady... lol
Friday night was really bad for Me. I spent much of it online in the palace with friends there. It helped to be with finn and to just relax and be quiet. They knew I just needed to be with people that cared and I knew they would just let Me BE there.
Charles is wonderful and understanding. Having a partner to get through this with really helps and no matter how much I say it's ok, finn knows that it really bothers Me. I noticed that he was sticking pretty close to Me and his caring did not escape My notice. I was also talking to grae (who I used to own) about an idea I have for a pitch I want to make to Sirius Radio.
So let Me say... that I do know that when a door closes a window opens and I can't help but think that the universe is trying to point in a direction. Don't worry, I'll find it.

It is my sincere hope and prayer that you find another postition Mistress, one that suits your skills and training, but most of all one in which you will find happiness in and find comfort in the knowledge that you are indeed looked upon as an asset and not simply as someones number on a balance sheet somewhere. I am always surprised with where fate takes a person and where it is has taken You and I. Had I had some idea other than a small indication of this, then perhaps, things may have been different. From the bottom of my heart, I am so sorry this happened to you, I still believe that no one deserves to be treated unkindly and your have been treated that way as well, and you have my sincere sympathies for the unkindness shown you. It is a terrible thing to feel unwanted especially by those that you vaulued and treasured and loved. So I am so sorry this happened to you Mistress. I wish you luck in all your future plans, and I hope that All your dreams come true
love

finn's Mistress is right. Her boy would do whatevahhhhhhhhh he would have to in order that She wouldn't be a shopping cart Lady. he is pretty secure in his place and enjoys his role of a parachute. Just there along for the ride.. and always ready to break Her fall.
My Mistress fortunately is very astute about business and always is quick to identify trouble and thus is usually prepared somewhat when the inevitable happens.
When finn was a young lad of about 16 he was washing cars for a living, making $1.62 an hour during the summer and through school. One Fall car sales weren't that good and they decided to axe me. That was the only time boy has ever been let go. Pretty damn fortunate. However, finn is facing another some day but he tries not to think about it but i didn't like it at 16 and won't like the next time.
For now as much as he hates his Mistress to have to endure the hardship of once again finding employment he just basks in Her presence ALL DAY long.
mmmmmmmmm.. Her presence ....finn wins again... good things happen to good people.
