:cry: I just want to share this with someone! Today it's not a good day for me... I just notice that I will be without a job from friday this week. The compagny where I am working right now is not doing good economicaly. And we are facing a big obstacle CHINEESE AND PAKISTANEESE market who are doing job for nothing. And we are all losing our jobs over here... So I am without a job right now, and the sadess thing is i am pregnant of 14 weeks, can't hide it and nobody will hired a pregnant woman at this stage of pregnancy... That's why I am sad. Still have all the payments and morgage, that's why I am sad... I really don't know how my husband will react to this, i know, that he will understand but we will have to find a way to make this work until baby #2 arrives. OMG I really don't know what to think right now. It's liked been kick in the face or better hit by a 10 wheels truck. Maybe I can cry but It won't give me back my job. I am not lucky!

so hope have some good energy coming on soon.

Oh Karen... How terrible. :( I feel for you and your family right now. I wish there is something I could do to help make things better! Is there some discrimination law that would cover companies not hiring someone who is pregnant if they are the best qualified candidate? Because that's just not right! Please let me know if there's anything I can do! You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm sorry to hear this. Your a designer right? I'm a designer too and my company has outsourced a lot of my work to India. Luckily we have a very small department and a lot of work so I'm now supervising the designers in India and pretty much doing a lot of the work anyway since they're not very good. I have to fix all their mistakes.

Some of our package design is outsourced to China. It really sucks that our jobs are going away.

Can you do any freelance work from home? I've learned here that if you approach printing companies they frequently have freelance design work that they need done. Also, a friend of mine just looks around and pops into businesses (or calls) and asks if they need any design work. He gets a good amount of jobs this way.

Hey Karen .... sorry to hear you lost your job but it sounds like it is all going to turn out ok in the end!!

Specially if you get to stay home and take care of yourself and the gorgeous Dorothy!

There is no harm in looking at getting some design work from home as any extra cash will always help!

Hope you are keeping well mate .... we haven't chatted for ages .... i am feeling pretty ill at the moment and waiting to go to the doctors so not been online too much.

Lotsa love mate

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
