Marching Orders
This is it! My company has given me my marching orders and asked me to take my carcass out of there by the end of February.
Someone once said that when God closes a McDonald's, he opens a Burger King and I hope that there will be a company out there somewhere who might be interested in hiring a kind-hearted, caring and well organised person such as myself.
Time will tell.
Yesterday was my friend Garry's birthday and we got together for the obligatory "beers & curry" routine.
A good time was had by everybody and I awoke this morning wondering whether a camel had been sleeping on my tongue!
The things we do!!

To all of you out there . . have a very happy Valentine's day and I wonder if any of you have received a secret Valentine's card?? (I know I haven't!).

Dear very nice man. You are the first person to say Happy Valentine's Day to me today. Mr Moi said it yesterday (talk about jumping the gun). I hold no hope for a card as I only got my Christmas card at the end of January. But I have ordered him to purchase a nice album from iTunes for moi. So I hope your Valentine's Day is as fruitful.
(In Ukraine, they call him Saint 'Val-en-tin'. Sweet).
Little Miss Moi - An album from ITunes is a good idea! What music do you like and which albums have you got your eyes on??
Do tell!!
Dear very nice man. This is a hard question.
I like all sorts of music. At the moment, I'm listening to Paul Kelly, Jose Gonzales, Sigor Rus, Sufjan Stevens, Neil Young, Leonard Cohen... Simon & Garfunkel - I recently listed my top 10 on my blog but it changes every week.
I would love to buy a non-harpsichord version of Bach's French Suite No. 3 in B Minor Sarabande (the Menuet is also good). It's on the movie Persuasion and it's one of my favourite movie scenes. This, however, is a song, not an album.
I will probably request the new album from Aussie singer Sarah Blasko, What the Sea Wants, the Sea will Have. She makes very beautiful music.
Erik: Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you find another job soon - I know how frustrating that situation can be, but if my hubby can find another one in short order, I believe you can as well.
Good luck!
Thank you so much, DS - God is good and all will be well!!
Hey Erik,
Have a wonderful Valentine's Day! I wish you the best of luck in finding the job of your dreams..:(
-Yara
you and me both, Bucks
I would say that new doors are always opening. Often the new doors end up being better than the old ones. Good luck! In the mean time maybe you'll have a brief break in which to enjoy yourself and your family more before going to a new job.
Does this mean you'll be blogging more? I do hope a job opportunity unfolds for you soon. Sending supportive hugs and Valentine wishes your way.
Happy Valentine's Day to you! I'll be praying about your job situation. We may both be in different careers soon!
Happy VD!
And here's hoping that a better door will open, now that this one is shutting.
I have faith that a nice man like you will find a great job soon. Keep us posted!
I didn't realise that your job was going to end so soon!!
Fingers crossed for you!!

Well, Happy V day - and okay - that sucks about the job. What a day to get those papers! I'm sorry.
I hope something REALLY GOOD comes along for you!!!
Happy V-Day big fella!
That saying about the McDonalds and the Burger Kings just doesn't make any sense, how can God close a McDonalds when the Devil owns all the franchises?
Now, about the curry. Was it real curry or the Balti stuff that some of you guys seem to like? I don't know if it's only in Birmingham or if it's everywhere.
Erik happy Valentine's day (which is almost over) a card could have been arranged if we'd known earlier beccy and I raise our glasses to you(bubbly).
And had a camel been sleeping on your tongue? Where is it now? I fear it may be on my tongue in the morning!
Good luck with the job hunting.
I love the saying about the McDonalds and Burger King. Thanks for making me laugh today, on this dismal time known as Valentine's Day. :)
No secret valentines here today, my one and only valentine is well known and it was good to share the day with her. Hope the job situation works out soon. ec
Yes it was such a secret that even I don't know about it.
Thank you to all you great people for your comments, wishes and encouragements! Job or not - having you as my blog friends makes me a rich man indeed!
Erik
happy valentine's day and good luck job hunting! (enid's sorry for being a bit slow lately...)
I think I see a camel on Garry's tongue...!
Does your company offer any assistance with job placement? Based on the little I've read from you the past several weeks, I KNOW you're looking for the "good" (and the God) in the midst of these challenging circumstances.
Looking forward to your next career adventure--that's our privilege of knowing you in the blogosphere :).
Sorry to hear about your job. I really love your McDonald's quote! I know that you'll be getting a job you love soon, hang in there.
