They also serve beer so I figured what the heck! It was after noon and I didn't have to go back to work :) Then I hopped on the train home and a friend picked me up and we went to Dairy Queen for "sorry you lost your job" Blizzards. And now I am doing laundry and trying to figure out what to do with my life! Ahhhh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-laid-off-today#post-325224 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 18:07:05 +0000 Boogs 325224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sorry to hear!

I think a manicure/pedicure is a great idea. They always make me feel better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-laid-off-today#post-324020 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:08:48 +0000 shinystraps 324020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry :( Mani/pedi/movie - sounds good to me!

I personally don't like manicures because they huuuurt my cuticles, but sign me right up for the foot and leg massage with a pedicure ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-laid-off-today#post-323993 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 09:59:06 +0000 regberadaisy 323993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sorry!

Maybe a pedicure/manicure and just some vegging at home? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-laid-off-today#post-323974 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 09:52:28 +0000 Alivoo01 323974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry to hear about your lay off. Sad to hear that this is still on going. Movie sounds like fun! Maybe a nice lunch with a glass of wine and people watch? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-laid-off-today#post-323968 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 09:51:02 +0000 littlek 323968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry to hear that.. you definitely need to do something fun. I would suggest a mani/pedi like the previous posters.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-laid-off-today#post-323964 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 09:48:36 +0000 plaidpants 323964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire, @Coco Bee: Thanks! It's been on my radar for a few weeks, it was just a matter of when, so I'm nervous about being unemployed but ready to get out of this place.</p> <p>Manicure is a good idea! I might have to do that. It's been ages! My hands are embarrassing right now (I pick my cuticles - it's gross, I know) but that's probably all the more reason to get manicure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-laid-off-today#post-323949 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 09:41:54 +0000 Mrs. Pen 323949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>aww I'm sorry to hear that. It sucks so bad to hear that so many companies are still doing layoffs. </p> <p>enjoy your few hours of freedom!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-laid-off-today#post-323945 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 09:39:41 +0000 DillonLion 323945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sorry to hear! Maybe a manicure? Those are usually like $10. Although I like the idea of a movie since it will be distracting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-laid-off-today#post-323943 Thu, 04 Oct 2012 09:38:42 +0000 plaidpants 323943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I am getting laid off today. My meeting with HR is at noon and I think I'll be free to go after that. I've known it was coming soonish, so I'm not feeling very emotional. </p> <p>My question is this: My LO is in daycare for the rest of the day. What should I do with my few unexpected hours of freedom to cheer myself up? It has to be relatively cheap because, you know, I am unemployed! I was thinking about going to a movie which I have not done since before the baby. Any better ideas?? </p>
