Purrs on the way from down-under

Lois

We're sending our best purrs, Mark.

I hope you'll be able to find something good, Mark.  Today looks like
it's the day for turnovers!  Well, it's a Friday, which is the usual
day of the week to do this sort of thing, like how Monday is the
typical of the week for a new employee's first day.

Ohpurrs Mark. I just hate it when people lose their jobs :(

<snip>

Purrs from across the pond for the perfect job.

I'm sorry!! :(

They certainly were direct with you about it, though, weren't they?
"Your services are no longer required." At least they didn't pretend
it was something else. When I was laid off a few years ago, they called
it something weird, like the "restructuring program", except it was
better than that, wish I could remember it. A euphemism worthy of the
movie "Office Space."

Sounds like you have some excellent skills (well, I don't know about
the last position :)), and the economy has picked up quite a bit from
a few years ago. I think you'll be OK. Hey, try to enjoy a few days or
weeks off!

There you go!

Does the name Puddleglum mean anything to you? :)

Purrs for a better and more stable job to come soon.

Joyce

Purrs for the perfect (purrfect?) job to come along asap.

Let's trade job purrs. I'm sorry you got released too!

Blessed be,
Baha

Purrs coming south, toenails crossed.

Oh Mark, that sucks. I hope you get another job very very quickly, and that
it's a great one.

Jeanette

That sucks, Mark :-(  I hope it turns out to be for the best and you
find something much better soonest.  Hugs and purrs,

Purrs on the way for a much better position in the very near future.

Job purrs are on their way (my four are already purring for me to find a way
to earn their kibble, so they'll just have to rev it up a bit).

Job purrs and wishes for you to get a job that perfectly suits you and
is just right for what you want.

Yikes, Mark!  I'm really sorry that happened.  Mega job purrs going
out for you to find something good quickly.
