Er...Speaking of Lounge Vibes...I've got some employment issues

[SOteric]

I have 3 jobs, but the brunt of my ability to support myself comes from some contract work I've been doing for the past several years. That contract has been cut back and I find I'm no longer able to make ends meet.

I know there are many in this circumstance, and many who are worse off still. Yet I've committed faith in the patented Lounge Vibe. I've seen it come through too often to doubt.

If there are any kind souls among us who could see their way to sending some work-vibes my way, put a blessing on my resume, or even just meditate for a moment on increased opportunities, I would so very much appreciate it.

[Bertha Venation]

1. my heart is vibing for you

(is that a word? vibing?)

:hug: wish I had more to offer than vibes and a hug, but they are sincere.

[SOteric]

2. It's a word if we say so, and I'll take it!

And those hugs, too.

Here's one backatchya: :hug:

[LeftyFingerPop]

3. You got 'em...

I wish you the best...:hug:

[SOteric]

5. Thanks, Philboy!

You're not so bad, - for a Jonas Brother. :P

[Callalily]

4. Of course. Sending

work vibes and wishing you good luck! Hope all works out.

:hug: :hug: :hug:

[SOteric]

6. Thanks a million!

:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. I will think SOteric and job all day long...

I might even throw your name in there for good measure.

and...

...please come down and visit me sometime in my new digs. You know how much I adore you, right? :hug: -vibe- :hug: -vibe- :hug:

[SOteric]

8. You know

it's mutual, - right? :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. ...

:hug: ever since the first time you smacked me in smileys... so long ago. :D

[peace frog]

9. Consider it done

Add my blessings to your CV, SOteric. Better days are ahead!

[SOteric]

11. Thank you, thank you!

My CV and I appreciate it.

[Heidi]

10. Absolutely.

Lighting a white candle for you, too. :hug:

[SOteric]

12. Oh thanks a Brazillion!

And give The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger a chin scritchie from me. :7

[Heidi]

15. The minute he returns, I will do just that.

Right now, he's up at my mother-in-law's getting spoiled. He actually some of a Christmas cookie she made this morning while it was still warm and soft from the oven. Another woman falls under his spell. :rofl:

Hang in there, SOteric. Things are gonna turn around for you. :hug: :hug:

[supernova]

14. Of course

Sorry that you are running into downturn too.

:hug:

I'm still plugging along. Don't know for how much longer. I found a place that would be good to ride out this downturn, but it's very competitive.

*prayers*

[SOteric]

16. Well then,

I'll just have to send some 'hang in there' vibes back your way. :hug:

[Eurobabe]

17. Vibes, just for you.

Best of luck. I should ask for them for my mom too, her temp job ends this week, and her 401K is decimated. :(

[SOteric]

19. I'll send a vibe in the direction of your mom,

but by all means, start a thread. I'm telling you these Lounge Vibes are fierce things! :pals:

[Eurobabe]

21. Okay, you've convinced me. n/t

[DS1]

18. vmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

*vibing noises*

[SOteric]

20. Somehow,

that seems more like vibrator noises, - but heck from you, I'll take both of 'em.

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. Get a room already.

:eyes:

[DS1]

30. If you'd hurry the hell up and pack your stuff, we'd have one

:eyes:

/professional squatters

[SOteric]

31. Hee!

:7

[leftofthedial]

22. I'm vibe-erating

I could use some myself. Similar plight. I'd finally cobbled together four fairly "reliable" part-time jobs to barely pay the bills. Now one of them is going away and another isn't coming through.

[SOteric]

23. Sending some vibes your way, too!

:pals:

[leftofthedial]

24. good luck

!

[BurtWorm]

25. Good vibrations

:hi:

[SOteric]

26. Excellent!

Beach Boys included! :hi:

[Shell Beau]

28. I hate seeing everyone go through this. I also

do contract work and am afraid of it slowing. I am in the oil business and I am so thrilled that gas prices are down. But that means slow business for me as well. It is a double-edged sword. So far I have been lucky!

Vibes and luck to you! :hug:

[SOteric]

29. Thanks, Shell.

Yeah, it's tough all over right now. :hug: Hope your situation rides out the storm.

[Haole Girl]

32. Sending work-vibes immediately!

[SOteric]

34. Thank you! Thankyouverymuch!

:hi:

[redqueen]

33. Of course...

you'll be in my thoughts. :hug:

[SOteric]

35. Thank you!

:pals:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

36. ~ Hoping more work comes your way in the next year ~

:hug:

[SOteric]

37. Thanks, sweetie.

:pals:

[flvegan]

38. Absolutely, you've got 'em.

[SOteric]

39. Thanks Dood!

Yer da bomb!! :thumbsup:

[Rabrrrrrr]

40. Oh, my! Consider you in my vibes! I wish you well - sorry to hear that you are having problems.

But you are naturally creative, resourceful, and whole - you can do it!

Perhaps Obama will contact you for a cabinet position. :7

[SOteric]

42. Yes, but I'm holding out

for that point in time when you take over the world and eliminate all the feeble-witted managers in a fierce bloodbath.

[Rabrrrrrr]

45. That'll be my campaign slogan: "Middle Managers Die FIRST!"

And then we'll go after the rest of the incompetent ones.

And you'll head the Department of Telling Stupid People to Shut the Fuck Up. Your desk will be just inside the Oval Office by the door, so that you can tell everyone to go fuck off as they come in, but we can still see each other so we can talk and make fun of people.

[SOteric]

49. Perfect! I'm in!

As long as someone else is cleaning up the bloodbath.

[skooooo]

41. $$$$$$$ $$$$

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[SOteric]

43. *LOL*

Thanks! :thumbsup:

[skooooo]

44. That's what you need!

I hear ya. Good luck. Something will come along soon, I'm sure.

[merh]

46. sending out vibes for you

not sure how much help they will be, but what the heck :hi:

best of luck

[SOteric]

48. I think it makes a difference.

I keep seeing vibes have a positive affect on Lounge posters. If nothing else, maybe it gives me an extra boost of confidence while I'm composing cover letters, and that's never a bad thing.

Thanks!

[merh]

51. oh, I have been the very grateful recipient of the power of those vibes

may they be "as good for you" as they were for me.

[BlueIris]

47. Sure thing, SOteric. nt

[SOteric]

50. Thank you!

I appreciate it very much!

[I Have A Dream]

52. You always seem like such a nice person.

I'm sorry that things are getting difficult.

I'll definitely send good energy your way.

[SOteric]

54. Thank you,

What a kind thing to say. :hug:

[lizziegrace]

53. Of course

:hug:

[SOteric]

55. Thank you, darlin' !!

:hug:

[Shakespeare]

56. But of course.

That's a level of suckage that you just don't need. Here's to new opportunities. :toast:

[SOteric]

57. Thankya Kindly!

All non-suckage is deeply appreciated!

[Dangerously Amused]

58. I just said a meditation and included you.

Will continue to include you. Keep us updated. And good luck!

[SOteric]

60. Thanks!

The Lounge will be the 3rd to know!

[TK421]

59. Sending good vibes and hoping things work out for you...

:thumbsup:

[SOteric]

61. Much appreciated!

:7

[TK421]

62. By the way...we had a meeting here at work yesterday discussing ways

we can possibly cut costs ( we're a non-profit ). Fortunately, job cuts were never being considered. However, if 2009 turns out to be as bad as some say it will, that may be a different story.

Talk about an eye-opener

[applegrove]

63. Work vibes to you.

[SOteric]

65. I appreciate them very much!

[ThomCat]

64. Good Vibes for a stream of work that pays very well!

:hug:

I hope you can pin down your contract work, keep it stable, and increase your revenue stream. I'm not using my employment mojo right now, so I'm sending it your way. :)

[SOteric]

66. Ooooh! Thank you soooo much!

I could really use a little Mojo! :7

[SOteric]

67. Self-serving kick

for anyone who hasn't had a chance to vibe just yet... :7 :hi:

[Rabrrrrrr]

68. Jackasses - this is nowhere near enough vibe offering for SOteric.

For God's sake, people, this is SOteric. Not some slattern rooting around for cigarette butts on a tavern floor praying she finds a menthol that isn't smoked all the way down and doesn't have any lipstick on it.

Jesus.

[DS1]

69. +1

:7

[GOPisEvil]

70. But of course!

Best wishes on some increased job opportunities.

Also, stay warm this weekend. This was NOT in the relocation brochures. :scared::hug:

[Shine]

71. Blessings and good vibes for work that makes you happy

and helps pay the bills. :hug:

:hi:
