Default pinkslips and cheesecake

Doesn't that just say it all? I got my "permanant vacation" slip on
Friday - after finally completing a long, hellish tax project. And although
I'm not wallowing in self-pity, I did have a piece of cheesecake after
dinner that night. And again Saturday, and Sunday, and....well at least the
cheesecake is gone now! I ususally lose weight during stress - so for me
the hardest thing to do right now is keep eating. I've sent out over 50
resumes just since Friday, and fortunately, my unenjoyment check will be
enough for me to scrape by on while I'm searching for a new job. I really
hate this... But there is a silver lining! My house is SPOTLESS.

I'm really sorry to hear about the job loss. I received one of those 8
years ago and it turned out for the best. I found a better job a couple of
weeks later and I'm still at it and love it. Hopefully you'll have the
same experience.

Glad to hear the cheesecake is gone. If you need another house to work off
the stress mine is availableg

Oh dear--how awful! Good luck on your job search, take care of
yourself and the little one, and stay out of the cheesecake now
that you've had your one slice.

I am very sorry to hear about the lay-off. I am sure that you'll be able to
find another job w/ out a problem, as you are a very "determined" person. I
would avoid dessert though, as you don't want your interview clothes getting
tight. Best wishes...

Well I certainly can sympathize. i've had a few pink slips in my
working years and cheesecake is my antidote of choice to just about
everything.

Try this as it isn't very fattening:

1 egg
3 oz. pressed cottage cheese
1/4 cup plain yogurt
sweetener of choice
1/2 tsp vanilla

Process until smooth with wand type hand blender in deep narrow
container. Pour into ungreased onion soup dish. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Cool and refrigerate.

Hello det,

I'm sorry to hear about the job loss. Hopefully things will turn around
soon for you. I'm in the same boat, looking for work that is. Luckily I
have a friend who's trying to get me on where he works. After being out of
work for two and a half years I'm ready to get back.

Take care,

Paul

Bummer about the job, good that you aren't wallowing. I'm wallowing in pms
pity right now with back cramps so bad that I can't run and can barely walk.
Enough about me and back to you...

It's great that you've already got resumes out there - were you expecting
this?

My cheesecake substitute is cottage cheese, in the blender for a quick pulse
or two, then add some splenda and some berries (or some unsweetened cocoa
powder).

Take advantage of being able to exercise whenever the mood strikes instead
of having to plan it around your schedule. Hope something comes up for you
soon.

This could be your golden opportunity, det!

It wasn't until I lost the best paying job I ever had that we buckled
down to save the money we needed to move to Maine. It was the best thing
that ever happened to me - even though it sure didn't feel like it at the
time.
