I'd like to think my work is important...but I guess it's not, or perhaps I'm just inept, either way I'm tired

Horrible and now your self worth is at stake. What type of work is it? Someone else will definitely need your talents so sorry. Fondly, Phillipa

Oh that must mean budget cuts. The system is getting worse all the time. And it's so important. Sorry again sleepy. Love Phillipa

you betcha, right on target
It's interesting how much work I was doing and with so many people, and how very little it seems to matter now...I'm not sure why I bothered
I'm not sure I'll get myself as invested if I ever find a job again, everything seems to tell me I don't matter anyway
Thanks Phillipa, I will recover, but not today

Sleepygirl - so sorry that you lost your jobs! This is not a reflection of your worth, but a Business Decision, right?? It is hard to work at a caring occupation whose benefits are so fleetingly acknowledged.
OK, we have the money, so it's a necessary and worthwhile job.
Oops sorry, the funding went away, so you can too.I hope another opportunity pops up soon for you.

Two in one day is almost beyond belief, but I suppose funding cuts all come at once.

I'm going through strange stages....devastated, rejected, despondent, accepting, hopeful, scared etc...
I had lunch with one of my supervisors today to say goodbye, he was very supportive, gave me job ideas, said I could come back maybe 3 days a week in January if one of our employees does not come back from maternity leave...but now I need to find full-time employment, and I'm afraid of that place because of the cutbacks atmosphere. It was wonderful to hear the offer though, because I really need to feel wanted. :-)
I'm sort of appreciating things a lot even though I'm feeling uncertain about employment possibilities..at this point. I could be totally screwed, don't get me wrong, but I really needed the time off. There still exists the possibility of being totally screwed in the near future (after severance runs out), but not yet!
I'm grateful for some of the people I've come to know. I am cautiously optimistic(very) or at least willing to be uncertain (at this moment), and trying to transition appropriately.I'm doing OK for now. Thank you for asking. :-)
I hope things are well with you.

I can see why that would lift your spirits. It makes clear that it was nothing personal, or about your work. You are valued!
That bodes well for the future, I think.
