How I've missed you! I had to sift through tons of comments on Mir's blog to find you. Sorry to hear iVillage didn't work out for you-since they left the Redbook site, it's been difficult for lots of the bloggers over there. Anyway, glad to find you & I must go now and catch up on what I've missed. Thinking of you, Sophia Kim!!!! How I’ve missed you! I had to sift through tons of comments on Mir’s blog to find you.

Is this what our lives have come to? I say go for you quitting something that was making you unhappy. Life is far too short. And besides-I'm sure you've paid into EI enough by now anyway.

Quite a good one: I'm a substitute teacher. Yes, we struggle to make ends meet around here. Most people do. And no, my parents do not provide for me or my kids. I do that.  And the $250 a month from iVillage, while nice, didn't really make the difference, if you know what I mean. I doubt your job was based solely on your personality, and really, your life. I doubt that your employer expected you tho change those things to fit in with their corporate ideology. And if they did? Well, yeah, moral stands kind of mean something to me. I don't regret being fired for an instant. It wasn't a good fit, as evidenced by the issues in "Ghosted." I just hope my final two months pay will be enough for a plane ticket to BlogHer. Oh, and for the record, going by my provinces Welfare laws, I'm not even required to look for a job, let alone have 2. Steph,

You are a self proclaimed welfare mom, you struggle to make ends meet, you still need the state and your folks to provide for your kids and you get yourself fired? Because you decided a moral stand was worth more then a paycheck? Most of us with jobs have been subject to arbitrary job changes that we have no control over and we don't like yet we do not try to get fired. If you are receiving any state aid I hope they cease it and make you get a job. Let me try to understand this.

You've made the space by dumping the junk now you just need to let the dust settle a bit before the good stuff notices you have the space to accomodate it. Out with the old and in with the new.
