Prayers, please, if anyone would be so kind. I may lose my job
Posted: Aug 6, 2016
yes, everything. i have no backup income, no savings, no nothing to turn to. no family to go to, nowhere to go, nothing. same as so many other MTs here.
this would be a complete and total devastation, and pretty much the end of everything for me.
prayers, please, if anyone would be so kind. i am terrified sick.

Losing Job - Crazy Cat Lady
[ In Reply To ..]go look on the job boards. MTjobs, Job Seekers board here, indeed.com. See if you can find something there. Good luck. I do know Imedx/Amphion is hiring MTs
Thank you, I will look and apply first thing ASAP. - nm

Other things to try - rosederry
[ In Reply To ..]My first thought is, if you have a camera, take photos of things around your house that you could sell, and post on eBay. First 50 listings per month are free. If you haven't done this before, there are a few things to learn, but if you are an MT, then you can learn. You would need shipping supplies and a printer for printing shipping labels. If you have a thrift shop nearby, you might find things there to buy and resell. If you don't want to ship things, you might try "retail arbitrage", lots of references online. There are also many videos on Youtube with regards to selling online, making money, etc. Don't fall for scams that make you pay gobs of money for their courses. This can be done on a shoestring budget. Ecommerce is a big deal, probably more lucrative than any MT job and a lot less aggravating. It isn't easy, but I personally think there's more benefit for less effort when compared to the MT jobs I've had. Just a thought for you, and I wish you the best.
When I read that the true mark of insanity was to keep doing the same thing over and over while expecting a DIFFERENT result, I knew I had become certifiably insane with regards to continuing with one MT job after another. I've decided that I will not live any more of my short life in this insane bubble of the MT world.. If others can succeed with independent online businesses, you and I can do the same. No one can rob us of our intelligence and don't let them rob you of your confidence. Go for it!
I will keep praying - rosederry
[ In Reply To ..]I will keep praying that you have the energy to take action, despite the probable depressed state that you are in, which creates a kind of inertia/fatigue. I will keep praying that you have all the tools you need to make it happen! God Bless, may God direct your path in all things...
Praying for you and your situation - anonie
[ In Reply To ..]I feel so very bad for you. I know what that feels like too, but luckily I managed to have my SS at least and I was lucky enough to get into subsidized housing.
I would start by finding out about your options. Yes, a job would be good but sounds like you need housing and other things.
I had a friend who lived at the Y for a while and I think she stored her furniture. That way it didn't cost her so much. She did have to buy and prepare her own food at the Y in the small kitchen.
When you need help, there is no shame in seeing what is in your area. I was feeling ashamed that I had to go on foodstamps and have subsidized housing but where I live I have nice neighbors and at least living in a small town, I don't have a bad one bedroom apartment like I would have had in a somewhat larger town.
Good luck and please, let us know specifically your needs, so we can be more specific in our prayers for you.
These people are so wonderful here. They prayed me through my cataract surgery when I was so afraid.
Having no family - Miriam Bergfeld
[ In Reply To ..]I just wanted to say I commiserate with you. I am an only child and both my parents are deceased. I am estranged from my extended family and even though I try so hard to make amends, I don't feel I am making adequate progress :( Dear
Abby was famous for her quote, "Loneliness is the ultimate poverty." Well, I would have to amend that and restate it as, "Lack of family is the ultimate poverty." Good luck and please keep up posted.

[ In Reply To ..]I'm praying for you. Just went through this myself and it's devastating. To think that a certain small number of people control your life, that's scary.
Thank you everyone. I should know tomorrow by end of day - how things will go. Prayers for all of us. NM

[ In Reply To ..]Trust in God, he will provide. You will be okay. We are all praying for you.
Specifics - sm
[ In Reply To ..]One of the posters asked you for specifics, that is not necessary. We respect your privacy. You have faith and the Lord knows what you need and he will take care of it. Asking us to pray for and with you is all you needed to do, God will take care of the rest.
Excuse me but I have a reason for the specifics - anonie
[ In Reply To ..]I was not trying to be nosey. I have read books about prayer as well as had people specifically pray for things. Unfortunately, sometimes other Christians won't pray specifically which is what a situation needs in many instances.
I begged some of my Christian friends to pray specifically for an instance and they did not.
The devil stands out there and because we don't pray specifically, it leaves one door open. That is why you have to cover every tiny little thing especially in surgeries and in situations that are complicated.
Anonie - Specifics
[ In Reply To ..]I've been thinking about this for a while now. I have already asked the Lord for forgiveness and he has lead me to make this public apology to you. I have read most of your posts since early spring and I have passed judgement upon you which is not my place. Just because we pray differently does not make one of us right and the other wrong. The important thing is that we are Christians. I pray rather informally, I just talk to the Lord. I have prayed for you before, but I would like you to know that I now pray for your specific ailments that I can remember from your past posts. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me. May the Lord bless and keep you.
Praying - Believer
[ In Reply To ..]Please keep the faith. God loves you. You've got some dedicated prayer warriors on this board who are awesome! I keep this old testament verse always close by so I can read it often. It's from Isaiah 41.13 - It's a direct promise from God to you... "I am the Lord your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, "do not fear, I will help you." Please let us know how you're doing...God bless you...
Update: I am doing okay, and I do like that verse. - Thank you for sharing it. SM
[ In Reply To ..]I still have my job, aparently the mistake or problem wasnt as catastrophic as I thought it was. But, you never know with these MTSOs. One day you're the favorite, and the next day you're dust in their files for whatever reason.
Thank you everyone for your prayers, it is so very much appreciated and I am so grateful for everyone who did so.

I have to pack up and move again, after being in this house only barely 2-1/2 months.

Why The Tea Party Will Cause Republicans To LoseApr 19, 2011
It isn't possible to have an actual discussion with a tea party member. They love slogans and one-liners, but that's as far as their 'thinking' goes. They are shallow thinkers. The one thing about this, whether you think it is a good thing or a bad thing, is that they are causing the Republican Party to lose credibility. Decent people have been sucked into it temporarily, but if they are able to think, they eventually have enough of it. The Birther movement is taking the Tea ...

CBO Now Says 10 Mil Will Lose Employer Health Plans Under ObamaCareJan 28, 2015
The Congressional Budget Office now says ObamaCare will push 10 million off employer-based coverage, a tenfold increase from its initial projection. The "keep your plan" lie just gets bigger and bigger. The latest CBO report is supposed to be a big win for the Obama administration because the projected costs are 20% below what the CBO first projected in 2010. But the CBO report also shows that ObamaCare will be far more disruptive to the employer-based insurance market, while being far less ef ...
