So now I'm back, from outer space....

Well, not exactly outer space, although it did feel like that for a while. I hope you can all forgive me for disappearing for a while.

Back in April, the company I worked for shut down with literally three hours notice. I left work at 5:30 that day having been assured that I had a job (we were doing some restructuring) and at 8:30 pm we got an email that said the company was closing as of midnight and they couldn't guarantee they'd be able to pay us for the hours we'd worked. We finally got paid for our time worked about two months later, but we'll never see the payout for our vacation time. We were also left with no health insurance as there was no COBRA since the company shut down.

So, the spring and summer were a little rough for the Josie and I. But, I've been working again for three months and got promoted back to my old position, just with a different company, and life is settling down. So, naturally, I had to stop in and say hello to my friends and their fluffs! Hello everyone!

Josie says: You wouldn't believe it. She made me go four and a half months without a haircut! :hysteric: Ridiculous! :smmadder:I tried to tell her that monthly spa days are a requirement of my contract but she wouldn't budge. Something about an unemployment clause. She even had the nerve to call me "scruffalupagus." Don't worry, I'm back to my beautiful self now, but it was definitely tough. Running around, lookin' like a ragamuffin.... Let's just hope it doesn't happen again.
