I just got "Lost Girl"ed! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

'80sSitcoms · 07-28-2020, 05:53 PM

It's true! I was "let go" from a job today due to the COVID times.

BUT...

It was a 2nd "side job" that was just some part-time extra hours, and I was actually planning to leave by the end of this year anyway. They just beat me to it!

The "Al Burton" of the establishment called me on my "Nancy phone"

(lol) while I was at home working my main job

to let me know. So not only was I let go like a Lost Girl, but I also got "the phone call" like they did too!

I'm like the 5th Lost Girl!

Anyway, "Mr. Burton" said that with the furlough going on they're only going to be operating at 60% staff indefinitely, and that "we'll be separating ways" and that I'll be "leaving in good standing, so your status will be fine" (so if I ever wanted to go back in the future, I could always check back in and see

).

But yes, I'd been doing 2 jobs for nearly 6 years now, and it was getting really, really tiresome. I'd already told myself weeks ago "I'll leave by the year's end. I'll probably put my notice in in November." But it's kinda nice to just have it done for me, in good standing, when it was what I wanted anyway. lol

So I'm definitely not "Mollying" over this. The closest I would be is "Julie Anne-ing", since it seems she took the ousting the easiest out of the 4 of them, but I'm not even really wistful about it at all. I can always drop in to "visit" if I'd l ike, but I was really, really ready to bring down the closing curtain on it.

But when it happened, of course, that was the first thing I thought of:

"I just got 'Lost Girl'ed!"

C'mere, Julie Ann, Mols, 'licey, and Julie: Lost Girl Hug!

Sorry to hear Eightsy! Glad it was one you were already planning to leave.

valentina warner · 07-28-2020, 08:08 PM

It's always good to change something if you're not happy, and if the job was not satisfactory to you, than i'd say it was a blessing you were 'let go': i'm sure glad you're comparing your situation with the 'Lost girls' lol!!!!

80s Dude · 07-28-2020, 08:39 PM

Sorry to hear that. Perhaps you can find something else soon.

FOL-FAN-ITA · 07-29-2020, 02:57 AM

Oh no! Sorry to hear this, '80s!

They didn't call you while you were in the basement, did they?

So sorry to hear you were downsized. Will they at least let you make appearances on an occasional basis? Sure, you might not get a lot of lines, but the audience will appreciate it.

If you go back for just one day, make sure to wear a really glum expression on your face and complain a lot about it afterward.

WriterChick78 · 07-29-2020, 05:17 PM

Maybe you will have a much better career in the long run a'la good 'ole Mols.

It was something Mrs. Garrett said to one of the girls, I forgot which one. I am thinking Blair or Nancy O.

I know, i was just kidding! (MRS G told BLAIR that her mother probably wore flowers in her head like her, on the episode 'Like mother, like daughter'

Blair’s not a lost girl and Mrs G didn’t suggest they put one in her hair.
