tired already

this year has been off to a rocky start. it's been hectic as hell and i've been so stressed out on two occasions that my stomach actually hurt.
and to top it all off, i will be unemployed by friday. the job that i have is funded by a federal grant which was approved in october. but in order for us to get reimbursed by the grant, we have to have federal billing sheets. we haven't gotten any of those since october. so, without those sheets, we are spending money and no one is paying us back.
i'm not the only one that has to go home either. six agents will be unemployed as well and that really, really sucks. the department of public safety swears that i will get a billing sheet this week so that i can turn in my reimburesement info, but i'm not holding my breath. "there's a holdup in accounting" is not good enough anymore.
if any of you reading this are religious, say a prayer. if you aren't, wish us luck.

You're definitely in my prayers... I know how much it sucks losing your job, and the worry is worse than the actual event. *Keeping my fingers crossed that the papers do come in for you and that everything will be ok*

Take care of yourself, and do try not to worry too much- God's got a plan, and he won't put more on you thank you can stand *although there have been times he's gotten really close ;0) *Hugs*

Well, you are probably familiar with all of my leanings, but I will do my best to make sure that good vibes flow your way. We've recently started going to church again and I'm not sure my prayers would be helpful, but I'll offer them anyway.

That sucks...things came down like that for me at my old job in Atlanta. The worst part was that it wasn't until we thought all the lay-off's were over and that everyone was safe...THEN I got the axe. Jerks.

I hope that it works out and if it doesn't I hope the new place you end up is even better. If you need a laugh feel free to mock me and my bad choices over at mah blog.

WTF! We just talked...I am so sorry this shit is flying round....but if it helps any, I consulted Sybil Ann, and these were her exact words/impressions: that the whole thing (cluster you know what) is going to hurt the higher up person in this case, and that you and the detectives will be taken care of... after of course a short delay...3-5 days.
( this is Heather...I am sure it'll work out, but seeing it be OK and living through the time to get to the OK is the bitch work of life) back to Sybil Ann's "view"...put on your hip waders....you have a core of steele, you are not broken, and this is just another opportunity to work on some of those "things" that you do...that make your heart sing...if you concentrate on the moment, and not on the outcome...i.e. keep your hands busy making those wonderful jewlery items that you make, let's see some pictures of them too, include prices...in other words, you got nothing to worry about...you love a good challenge...get set, GO! Just do something, even if it's maybe a little wrong, what's called for is cself controlled ACTION... and keep asking the universe for exactly what you need and want...then make an action plan to conspire with the good in your life...and trust that you have never, ever...not gotten thru....and this is a cake walk comparitivly...so stay focused on the good...the power of YOU.
(Heather again...Stiff upper lip me lady...and all my love and positive energy!)
Sybil Ann told me to say....breath....
everything is already perfect...and not at the same time always...like waves and ripples, so relax...you have done this before, this time try another tatic...self control focused to produce change. And your State Govenor's office department of advocacy should be contacted and informed of your (city's basicly crisis, there is money from the State, it just has not been accessed properly, take matters into hand, that's what you do best)...look it up in the goverment pages of the phone book and call it.
Love from both of us, Heather and Sybil
