When I was laid off 2 years and 3 months ago, I thought I could handle being unemployed. I had some savings but not a lot. I thought it would be lots of fun to sleep in, watch TV...take a nap...sort through my stuff...watch TV...stay up late...sleep in... It got old really fast. My money was quickly dwindling with mortgage payments, utilities, food etc... Friends and family asked what I had planned for my future and I didn't have any plans. The only thing left to do was to get a job. Luckily, after 3 months, I found one.
Now my job enables me to put my mortgage repayment plan in to action and plan for my early retirement. I love my job because of that. Every time I go to work I know I am another day closer to paying off my mortgage. I think of my rental house as my own little trust fund that grows day by day. Soon it will pay me and it is my job that makes it possible.
So here's to another 2 years (at least, unless I win the lottery). And may every day be better than the last.

Nicely said. It is definitely a love hate relationship for me.
Yes indeed, love/hate. I am always envious of those people with love/love jobs. Some day that will be me.
Indeed it is time to be grateful for our jobs (even if we don't love them).
Hi there-a lovely post and I too think we need to guard our jobs wherever possible in this day and age.
Are you sure your colleague didn't get laid off? Sure sounds that way! They have been laying people off rapidly in my organization. Right before the holidays. It's so sad!
