U know what inspite of so much tension and problems that I am going through at home I am currently overwhelmed by the love… the love that all the blogger friends or the blog samaj has shown me in the past sometime post this post. The messages, mails, chats and the comments… god bless u all and the little world we have created out here.. so comforting… I really thank you all… muaaah people…
I am feeling better now though the situations are still the same… Most of u know by now that the problem is that recession has finally hit home and I have lost my job… Trying to take in the stride and utilise the time better… spend time with Ojas, cook some good things (that is later now mom is here and when she is around she is the one who cooks 😉 ), get my messy house in order, spend some time in my garden, pamper myself, do some reading,blog even more 😉 and not say search for a job
Its been almost a week now since the announcement in office and frankly speaking I have still not come to terms with it fully… but ya its sinking in… the first day was tough very tough when I just wanted to go to work… howmuch ever u know that the layoff is because of recession and the whole team has been dissolved there are sometimes when u start thinking, was it me??? I know the answer is no but still… Anyways me better now…
Apart from the job scene there is also another crisis at home which is making me even more worried and which we are hoping to solve soon…
Sometimes I wonder why does all problems come at the same time…. sigh….,

🙂 keep your spirits up and keep the hope floating.. everything will be fine, today or tomorrow 😀
Sorry about the job loss. Sigh!!! Yeah problems come in bunches. Call me if you can or mail me
hey monika, firstly lots of love.. and i am sure u’ll come out of all this very soon…
and whatever crisis you are facing at home, i hope it gets sorted out soon..
hugs lady!!
they come together so that they can disappear together… and you have a trouble free gala time soon !!!
the breaks are always welcome trust me … once you find a job, in hindsight you will miss this period !!!
so infact enjoy time with ojas and your garden and yourself while it lasts !!!
lol… it wont last long !!!
and you supporting solilo !!! i ll get even… not now but later !!! *glares*
Such things are happening all over the world and it’s noone’s fault. Don’t think its just you. Or Why you only. Millions of people are a target of this bad crisis. You just hang in there and take this time to do all you have not been able so far coz of time constraints. Do everything you love.
Loads of best wishes and smiles.
Know that you are not alone….the whole world is going through this job crisis. As to your other problem, often it happens that when you are sensitised by an issue, the job for example, you become more irritable and less accepting than normal. So, other problems too seem to emerge at the same time! All this shall pass. Remember always that it is not the situation that we are in that the problem but our reaction to it!
That is the spirit. Think of this time as a break to rejuvenate yourself, away from stress. It is all in our mind. And you know it is not your fault. just believe it. I don’t know what is the trouble at home, but i am sure it will be resolved soon enough. HUGSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Been there and faced situations like this one. I can understand how tough it gets. But i would say is hold on and make the best of your time. I am sure there is a wonderful job waiting on you.
God bless you with more and more good luck and more and more strength to become better and better.
Good to know that you are feeling better. And it will take time to actually get over so its ok..take your time.
A big tight hug!
@–xh–,
thanks i know thats what i am telling myself these days
@GM,
hugs back
@vinod,
ya i know what u mean and agree just that when one is in problem these things dont come to mind and infact one doesnt want to think of these things too
Monika, believe me when I say I can totally understand how you feel. I have been there. I resigned from my previous job before I could get a new one – I was that sick of it. Then recession hit hard. I was jobless for 3 months before I got m new (and much. much better) job. I was depressed for a week when I first sat home on weekdays, but then maybe it didn’t hurt as bad since it was my own decsion.
My Dad saw me withdraw into a shell, refusing to talk to or meet people and even friends. Then he said I must enjoy ad much as I can, since this was the free time I craved for when I was working, and won’t get this again when I resume working. That helped me come out of the depression and I actually enjoyed the time I spent pampering myself and doing all that I couldn’t due to scarcity of time.
I suggest you use this time as much as you can to bond with Oju, and his Papa, and everyone else at home. Learn something new, take up a hobby, read, listen to music, watch movies, pamper yourself silly, spend some time at a spa. Basically, tr and have as much fun as you can.
I know it is easy for me to say this to you, and it is a difficult phase for you. Forgive me for being patronising, and cliched, but like all bad phases, you will tide over this one too.
And remember – I am there for you to share whatever you’d wish to share with me. Always.
Lastly, you’ve been through the worse now, so whatever awaits you in the future can’t be as bad, can it? There’s just one way ahead from here – UP!
So here’s something to brighten up your days – (((hugs))), (((hugs))) and more (((hugs)))
keep your spirits high, rejuvenate yourself and God Bless… May he give you the strength to carry on…and if you find your self falter, look at ojas.. your beautiful kid with a wonderful smile and SMILE! Such is life dear, a little sweet a little bitter, dont get bogged down by it.. get stronger 🙂
lotsa love n hugs
Monika, All I can say is to keep your spirits high. Bond more with family and friends and don’t ever withdraw into a shell. Sometimes the latter takes people so far away from reality at such moments.
I am glad to see you back and in joyous mood. {{{{{Hugs}}}}}} to you and your little Ojas.
hugs to you. i had no idea and didnt wanna pry faltu mein. but here you are being as honest as ever! so some hugs to you for that.
the problem is more with mind than matter in this case money! keep your spirits up and have fun doing everything you always wanted to and didnt get time to do! 🙂
its defi not easy, but then whoever said life is simple always!
take care! and lets catch up sometime!

I guess, then it can only get better 🙂
Cheers!
These times are so scary. I come across so many people who have lost their jobs, its not at all funny. And it is not YOU! The people who are losing jobs are good at it, and have like over 10 years in the field! The company just closes a division/group which is just not what they want as they can not afford it anymore.
Please do not think its you, its never you! Just enjoy the time, let this craziness pass, and then start a fresh job search.
The office I used to work in has also been downsized so much that it would be safe to say it’s almost been shut. This recession seems to be for real!

*Hugs* & I know the strong woman that you are, you will be able manage this phase too.
