What's your weather like today? 2

about 23 degrees here with an chill factor of 16 degrees, we are having our first blast of arctic air for the season..no snow..clear skies with an occasional high cloud bank...giving away to sunshine.  This has two more days to hang around this area before leaving. Tis the season as they say.

Barbara said it so nicely Diana, don't get discouraged...I've been through this already remeber. Just be glad you didn't put in 30 plus some years already on the job to have this done to you. I heard on the radio that many people laid off have called in to say that nearly everyone has been catapulted out  undesirable jobs situations by such stuff, and its not been until they went on to other things, they realized how thier old job, while it gave money stabilty was not that great for them inspirationally...in most case its stifled their progress within the world. My hubby is now working for an much larger company then before...with much larger career contacts also in the people he's met...and I'm not at all surprised his old boss left the industry to move on himself. Older then the both of us, I mean he most likely wanted to semi-retire sometime in his life. Know that your optimsim is not wasted time in being so....you would make an great coach of some kind using this "talent" of yours. Open up your own "curves" weight loss business...it might be of help to you. You know what the ladies do the day after Christmas...diet!

Yesterday we had that storm that you gals back east are about to get hammered with.  We had about 2" of a nice steady, not too cold rain yesterday, but then about 9:00 last night the wind started to blow like crazy.  A lot of people lost Christmas decorations.  Flagstaff, 2 hours north of here had 26" of snow.  Sadly, a person camping in the forest up north was killed when the wind blew a 70' ponderosa pine down on top of his tent.

Today it was sunny and about 55° F.
