Thank you everyone...only thing is...I'm 51..and although that isn't supposed to make a difference....it does. It took me 9 months of looking every day, going to businesses and dropping off my resume, to find the job I have now. I just don't know what I'm going to do. I do bartend part time as well. I just hope it will get me through until I find another job.

It is harder for older adults to find a job - it's not supposed to be but reality, it is. I hope you are persistent and find what you need. I'm sorry you have to go through this. It sounds like you have done everything right, persistence in finding this job, and now it is not your fault that the office is closing!!

Brenda, I just got a phone call from a friend and she was telling me after 22 years of employment with a factory here....they fired her. Please don't feel alone. I know it doesn't make it any better, but it's happening everywhere to all ages of people.

I'll keep you in my prayers that something great will come along for you...don't get too discouraged.

She was told it was because she missed one too many days. She still has vacation days and sick days yet to use, but they wouldn't let her use them. She's only in her early 40's so too young to retire yet. She wants to drive a bus....oh heaven help her!!! LOLOL
