@sydney.mitchell so that means subscribers will get an email on the 20th with a link to the pre-sale?

Oh my lordy - this gave me a huge laugh. Well done!

I feel seen. This is literally every thought I've had. Thank you. 

Crickey I felt this article. This should go viral. Ive been here so many times. Most recently for my 40th and I wore something that I wasn't excited about and didn't really make me feel special. And as you say, I was HAPPY to spend the money and I started looking 6 months in advance. Why aren't we afforded the luxury of having the experience like others and being treated like second class citizens. Gah!

It happened to me too. Although it was officially a redundancy and a deed of release meaning I can't talk about it (officially anyway). It happened almost two years ago, and it still hurts. It's taken me a long time to accept it and even longer to not let it impact my new job. I loved my job, and I was good at it, but I pissed someone off, and ended up out of a job. It still makes me so angry. Maybe I'm not over it. But I'm so glad you wrote about it, because that's exactly how I felt afterwards. And took the first job offered because I was freaking out. If you can, make sure you're choosing the right job, not just any job. *hugs* xx
