This post is part of VikLit's blog hop, Celebrate the Small Things. Head on over there to join up!
So, what am I celebrating this week?
I have to say, finding things to celebrate this week has been a challenge... If you've been following my blog you'll know that last week I was made redundant from a job I've been doing for over 8 years. A job I love and have put everything I can into. So knowing Monday is my last day, isn't making me feel terribly celebratory.
But the response I've had to the news has been incredible. My customers have been sending the most lovely emails to say goodbye. Everyone in the industry has been calling to tell me how well liked and respected I am and how much they will miss working with me. I've had so many offers for references I could fill my resume just with names of people who want to say nice things about me. It's been a little overwhelming, but it's made me feel so much better. So if you're one of the people who has done this, let it be known how grateful I am for it...
So that's what I'll celebrate this week. That one ray of sunshine beaming through the bleak uncertainty that is my future.
What are you celebrating this week?
I haven't called but I will say I shall miss being able to drop in on you. Sadly missed my dear.
ReplyDeleteHopefully a new job will be on the horizon for you really soon. Sounds like you have lots of lovely support from friends and colleagues there so try and stay positive. Sending best wishes.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful that you've touched so many people's lives that they feel the need to reach out ad tell you how much you mean to them and how much they'll miss you. I hope that you'll soon have a new job to celebrate with us! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a lot of people there didn't find you redundant. Here's hoping you find something soon.
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful that you are so well-loved. I am sure you will be in demand for other jobs soon :)
ReplyDeleteLoyalty to an employer is an ideological con. I hope you find something even better - and soon.
ReplyDeleteHi Kate! Just wanted to thank you for visiting and commenting on my blog with the Blitz Team the other day. It meant the world. I'm sorry about your job, but I'm happy about your book. There is truth to the saying that 'When one door closes, another one opens'. Good luck to you. :) Lily
ReplyDeleteHi. The job loss could be a door to something bigger and better. You have much to celebrate in having so much support, and a book contract too. Congrats on that!
