susie, I'm with you friend. You hold on and things will happen for you. A trip to AC will certainly help the attitude and hey it's a perfect time for a vacation!

Hey Susie,

Someone (I think Pug) just posted a special from Miami next week around the $300 range MIA - BZE....

and remember, you were looking for a job when you got that one.....things happen for a reason!

Susie, I am sorry to hear about your job but is sure you'll find another.

all the best.

Sorry Susie - I was hit last August (after 27 years of service) - know exactly where you are at. I also know that AC is a great way to heal, so to speak. That's why I'll be there in July again.

As for the new job - hang in there. It's been almost a year for me, but I still have hope.

My girlfriends from Tampa applied for an American Airlines Credit Card and used the award miles for the trip to visit me in A/C (then later canceled the card).... I'm pretty sure that the deal is still available

What sort of work do you do?

Dude! That bites!!!! Good on ya headin to SP though! Wish I was!!! Three tests next week here and it's only the second week!

Thanks AJ - I am excited for your LPN program - what commendable work!! Yes, I have been plotting a trip - I would use my AA miles, and am now deciding should I go immediately? Wait a week? I figure the stress I have endured for a over a year deserves another trip (I can rationalize anything) - too bad Rich won't be here with his jumpers!! I am not sure if goint to Sp would be foolish (I do have some extra $ and have ALWAYS found a job immediately) but maybe I am not being realizstic with the economy. But then again, what I do, there are ALWAYS jobs to be found! Good luck AJ with your program? How long does it last? This time I'm going to CC!

you only live once, baby. i've been (nearly) in your shoes and done it - no regrets. my vote is go for it.

If Jane says DO IT, Susie will DO IT!! Just deciding when - this week or next? Gotta start that job search and now I can't bring my company laptop and my laptop is huge and S L O W!!! More $$ to buy a new laptop that actually works AND a trip to SP - I think it is necessary to maintain sanity, right? Right? Yes!

Right, and YES
