Comments on: Out of Work in Progress: my final post http://workinprogress.blogs.time.com/2008/12/26/out-of-work-in-progress-my-final-post/ A daily look at life on the job by TIME's Lisa Takeuchi Cullen Thu, 15 Oct 2009 17:51:44 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: bhicks11 http://workinprogress.blogs.time.com/2008/12/26/out-of-work-in-progress-my-final-post/comment-page-1/#comment-241 bhicks11 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 01:05:46 +0000 http://workinprogress.blogs.time.com/?p=649#comment-241 I was laid off of a job about 15 years ago. I chose to stay working at home doing data entry and programming jobs so I could be there for my two sons. I am still working at home doing those things only now I have larger clients, many girls working for me and my kids are grown and married. It's not over yet but it's been a good ride. Best wishes on your endeavor. http://www.dataplus-svc.com I was laid off of a job about 15 years ago.

Hopefully, there will be a new one soon :-) Here's a thought for all others: 8hours of sleep or work These days, I'm more interested in getting 8hours of work. Sleep is important, but having a good job is even more important. A job for 8 hours a day means I can sleep better at night. BTW, I was looking for a job and came across a site that provides job reviews, salary and layoff information. The site is 8hours.com. I was browsing the site and saw tons of information on companies, jobs, reviews, layoffs, etc., Check it out - maybe you can get your 8hours of sleep (or job)!!! Good luck....

Sad to take my bookmark off this column, but hopefully it will be replaced soon with a new one (hint hint). :) Best of luck to one of the most talented writers out there. It's been real, Lisa.

Your blog has always had a great mix of the interesting (the Great Pantyhose Debate of Summer 2008) and amusingly absurd (the treadmill desk you mentioned above). . The thing that really impressed me, though, was how well you interacted with your commenters. Not all bloggers do that as regularly as you, or with such respect and sense of camaraderie. As much as you liked the feedback you were getting from us, it was fantastic to know that we had a voice too. . So have fun...off now to send my e-mail and follow your next adventure!

I left corporate America six months ago to raise my kids and have tried to keep a hand in writing, blogging, consulting, etc. (shameless plug: http://dichotomom.blogspot.com/) You've been an inspiration to me. I admire your candor and your writing style and I've learned so much from you. Can I say that I want to be you when I grow up (even though I'm older)? And, as a mom of a 6 year old and a 5 year old, I know where you are now with your kids. Trust me, it gets easier (in some ways). All the best...you are fabulous.

I work in radio, and I've survived three major layoffs in the past two years. Several friends of mine haven't been so lucky, including my former boss, and a guy I worked with at another media company who lasted through 21 years (and three owners). I'm glad you're having something of a soft landing. God bless you in whatever you do next. I work in radio, and I've survived three major layoffs in the past two years.

No more chatty water cooler gossip, no more debunking (or starting) rumors, no more sage office advice. Lisa, those of us still hanging on in our cubicles will miss you!

It seems pretty certain that there's a great place for you out there, and I wish you well in finding it or creating it. Lisa - I especially appreciate your reflections on your process of leaving.
