no good news...
... as of Friday the shop was 'under administration'... By the end of April I shall be unemployed if not before... Although we - the staff- knew that Friday decision was the likely outcome it sent us into shock - especially as we the counter staff have to go on with 'business as usual' fielding all the customers questions - plus act in a manner that still puts the business in a professional light - 'just in case' a potential buyer pops up like a rabbit out of a hat... Now you can imagine the pressure that puts us all under especially as we are grappling with what to do next as far as employment goes... I have fluctuated between being positive that a door will open somewhere for me, to being quite depressed.... Given that I am more of an elder rather than fresh faced I wonder if my face will ever again fit somewhere... But we soldier on... The up side - if there is one that I will have some spare time to catch up on a few things that need some attention. A couple of friends have already booked me for lunch... Hopefully I will have some work by the end of May so I am allowing myself a month before things get really grim... Speaking of spare time - I am thinking about all the dedicated stitching which I will have... Well, I have to think cheerfully about something don't I? But if I don't post here regularly you will understand why - not because I don't want to but more that I may be engaged in some more pressing business - like job seeking, resume updating and hopefully interviews which will kick start my 'new' life... Until later S xx

Can you add me to the list of friends who have booked you for lunch? In the meantime, hugs with lots of good luck in finding another position. I actually had a dream the other night that Meera (Eltham Bookshop) was looking for an assistant. I woke up wondering if I had really talked to her...it was so real in my mind. Perhaps I should drop in to her shop this week?
How scary, Sharon. I am keeping my fingers crossed you will find that perfect job in no time! *hugs*
Thanks to you both...xx
