SHINY DAY!

Well, it would be shinier if I had a job, BUT

Unemployment accepted my appeal and reversed the decision, so now I will be gettin' my coin!

Granted it's a sad 7, but hey, its money coming in!

A super huge XIE XIE to all those Browncoats who supported me again, it MADE A DIFFERENCE!

I have a place to live, insurance, my car will not be repo'd, utilities activated, which would not have been possible without your help.

I am, by no means out of the woods yet, I still need that job, and there are bills to pay, and friends and family to payback, but I am finally moving in an upword direction, and I have y'all to thank for that! (Gonna think up a shiny way to show that appreciation too...mark my words!)

You absolutely saved my life in a very literal sense.

Anyone still wishing to help (like I said, long way to go yet...) until I land that job, can still go through PayPal, my store, or my new mailing address:

John Reyman
274 East Plane Street
Bethel OH 45106

It's out on the rim, but it's a brand new start...just need me a herd and a couple of blankets (JK! don't send me cows! lol!)

Thanks again, Browncoats, you're the best people I know on this, or any, world spinnin'.

BWAH!

Congrats John. I'm glad that you are starting to tread water again.

Likewise in my own situation, I seem to have landed a part time gig, flagging traffic. Ain't glamorous by a long shot but it does pay $12.00 a hour. I take my "training" class on Saturday and after that, I'll be waiting for the phone to ring for any gigs.

I am so moved.

I just read through this thread, and I felt so bad for you when I read your first post. Then when I kept reading I got all misty. Honestly, there WERE tears.

This is an amazing community. This blows me away. I didn't expect to see people rally the way they did for you.

So very shiny.

Thanks.

*hugs hun* I wish I could offer more, but I got tearfully informed I was being laid off on Thursday, my last day is next Friday.

You have all the positive energy vibes I can send your way, If you need someone to talk to, I'm here. Afraid all of my contacts are in Houston, and Memphis, I know of an opening in Houston for a retail manager but its a small chain and i dont think the pay would be worth the move for you.

It's a really scary place to be, but I'm trying to look at it as a start of something new and wonderful, just wish it had been on my own terms.

Have you tried applying at any local universities, or especially medical facilities run by universities? I'm trying to get on with any of them, they offer incredible benefits (many including reduced or free tuition). They need all sorts of folks, from janitors, to patient escorts and support staff.

Might be worth looking into.

Good luck and best wishes in your search hun.

Hey thanks, Artcat, can't fault you in this economy...just glad you'd be willing if you could.

I just actually started the hospital circuit in terms of applying for jobs. Hadn't considered the Universities...we got a branch of U.C. out here, I think I'll look into that too. :)

Best of luck to you as well. At least they were upfront about laying you off, and not a hun-dan like my company was.

I'm just glad I had Browncoats behind me to pick me up and carry me, otherwise I'd have been on the drift...literally and mentally (lol)

Almost completely moved into the new house (which is a REALLY OLD house!) but it's been retrofitted nicely. I just need to get a lawn mower now...crazy Alliance regulations, heh! Can't complain really, as I am living rent free (or very low rent as soon as the Unemployment kicks in finally! woot!)

I am so sore from moving stuff though...need me a Jayne... :)

BWAH!

Browncoats are folks that stand up for one another ("who do for one another and ain't always looking for the advantage") and even though I'm also looking for work, I've enough saved that I'll be happy to send a bit your way via paypal.

Keep Flyin'!

Something I am trying is to only have positive thoughts hoping that positive things will happen to me. I borrowed a movie from my sister which basically said that if you think nothing but positive thoughts then positive things will happen to you. This reminded me of a message a friend of mine gave me called the "Golden Key," where it told the reader to do the things you are capable of doing to remedy your situation, and when the pressure bares down on you to stop thinking about it and try to picture in your mind what heaven was. My friend said her image was of waterfalls, and mine is a citadel I want to build for myself.

Ironically, just a few days ago someone posted on our Yahoo group that they were searching desperately for a Balls & Bayonets Brigade t-shirt.
I pointed them (and the whole group) to your Cafepress site.
We're getting some stuff to give away at our CSTS screening too. I hope the extra site traffic helps

Check out http://www.americasfunniesttshirts.com to order hilarious shirts at a great price.

hey hun, I just started a jobhunt thread. The browncoats are an amazing network of knowledge and communication, so I started a thread for folks looking for work and those who know of job openings to find each other.

http://www.fireflyfans.net/mthread.asp?b=23&t=38344

I don't know how much help it will be, but hey, never hurts to have an extra set of eyes or two or three looking!

Hey, just checking in with folks...

First, I am sore as hell, and I haven't even moved the big stuff yet...hopefully help will be here Friday when I have the truck!

New house is shiny and quaint (li'l small, but nice), and I can't wait to do up my living room in all the Firely/Chinese Culture stuff I've collected over the years...it's gonna be so_very_pretty! :)

I met one of my neighbors, very nice lady, so I'm hoping there's no creepy stalker/sex offender types in the other houses. She says everyone's pretty nice. Most folks have lived there for quite some time.

Now onto the Big Damn Heroes around here...

SHINY: You rock. Had a few others around here like you, giving when there isn't much to give, and that makes you as shiny as, well, you! ;)

RALLEM: Oh yeah, ever since my shingles (affliction, not roof) manifested, I've learned real quick that less stress means less pain, so I only worry about that which I can affect (granted my recent sitch really tested me there...thank Buddha for friends like Browncoats!). Moral support is as necessary to me right now as the financial, so thank you. :D

STOWEAWAY: XIE XIE! Any sale is a good sale, and if its a Browncoat sale its twice as shiny! I'm hoping once I get settled into the new place, I can work on a few new designs (I've got volumes of notes of stuff I haven't made yet!). Thanks for the assist, and I hope in the future I can actually donate stuff to a CSTS event.

and ARTCAT: Cool idea! Even if it doesn't help me, maybe it will help someone else! All help is good help, unless it is unhelpful help, in which case it is no help at all...just like this sentence. :P Seriously though, find a job, keep flyin'...that's the goal for most (if not all) of us. Way to carry us! :) (oh, and your sig reminded me to BOOKMARK your store...when I am in the black (and not the red!) again, I need to get some shiny stuff from you for my car (my old truck is OOG (i.e. dead)...and maybe those tats too!)

BWAH!
