Funnily enough, I just talked to a friend in the NOLA office, and none of them got laid off b/c they're crazy busy. And when he told the boss down there that I'd been laid off, his reply was that it was a shame because he liked me and they need someone to start up their trainee program. But honestly, I might be well shut of the shadiness and toxicity. Also, the CEO is currently on vacation. NICE.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now, that's class.
smonster, hon, a big hug to ya, first off. Total sympathy for how, even when you want to leave like the place gives you a rash, having the hammer fall is shocking and painful. Though, I too want to thing the Universe is telling you something good here.
If the boss in NOLA could provide you with a bridge until you settle in there, I say take it. You will do good for them, even if the only good they do for you is a paycheck.
Fredpete, I'm so, so sorry for the sadness and stress in your life. May the very best solution and comforts come to Victor as quickly as possible.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Dude. Fabulous sign of total organizational gutlessness right there.

smonster, I'm sorry, but it's clear it's not you, it's them, and you're supposed to go to NOLA now. CLEARLY.
Fredpete, I am sorry. You are the best kitty daddy I know.

I didn't even get to say goodbye to my supervisor, as he was in a meeting with his boss. Hopefully not getting laid off. I really liked him, even if we didn't have much day-to-day contact.
Yeah, it wouldn't hurt to contact the boss down there and let him know I might be interested. I just don't want to be employed by them when they go bankrupt, if that happens - would I be eligible for unemployment, then?
I'm already calling/emailing my network, and already have a job to apply for! I'm looking at Americorps stuff, too.

What she, and everyone else said. You go above and beyond to love the kitties who have no one else to love them.

I can't say with certainty, but I'd expect so. No fault of your own and all. You might miss the last paycheck though. Still, it's a bridge, not a foundation.
Go you with the proactivity.
