The company that I worked for is being acquired by another company and they do not plan to do business in Vermont so about 25 of us are unemployed as of Friday. I'm actually using up floating holidays the next 2 days so I'm already done. I've expected it for over 2 weeks now and have a bunch of job apps out, hopefully something good will come up soon. In the meantime I'll get to spend February vacation with the boys. It will also give me time to get games scheduled for the lacrosse program.
It's official, I'm unemployed

Generally, we don't feel particularly appreciated, but I guess that we are.
) except the one only I saw. The one that flashed over my head after talking to Jim...You have done well Theresa, Don't look back!!
We had a "special" staff meeting at work today that our director has been acting very mysteriously about for weeks. The teachers have all been nervous. It turned out that she and the board wanted to surprise us with a little lunch. It was very nice of them.
I am sorry I don't want to rewrite my facebook post so:
so today was supposed to be the last meeting of our bankruptcy time. Jim (I let him choose because it is mainly his debt) picked the absolute worst lawyer. This man has not responded to any of my queries and said that they could not get a hold of me today (or earlier via e-mail). I had my phone on loud and next to me all day. So that was a bunch of hooey. Of course, Jim didn't show up to the meeting either...thinking he didn't have to. This was after calling me five days before the last meeting and saying I HAD to be there or I wouldn't be included in the bankruptcy. I had told them from the start that I would not spend the money to fly out there, find a place to stay, lose at least 3 days of work, etc. for such a short meeting. As it is I took today off....one less day I could have worked (less than 20 hours a week scheduled now)...for nothing. If you had an important meeting that you needed to teleconference for would you not make sure you had the right number? I would!!
I will establish my residency here in MD in June. As long as I am employed I will be filing for divorce by my 40th birthday.
I kept misreading signs today (had to buy shoes and jeans and both times I thought the signs said buy one get one half off
Good morning,
More applications & more "no's". I should just pursue my calling to be a pole dancer.
Of course I would have to put a bag over my head so no one would recognize me.
I'd rather make a ton of money over the winter and take the summer off, but haven't figured that one out yet

Kristine!I've been thinking about you and Bob. You must be exhausted. Glad to hear Bob is out of ICU again.UGH...how frustrating! Hope something perfect comes along soon!Hope you get some solutions soon! Sounds like you're making progress getting some answers. Nice to hear your DD & baby are doing well.Good Luck on job search! I have SOOOOOOO much on my plate right now I don't see how I can do it and being under so much stress isn't helping me to get it down well. I am working harder than ever and feeling less and less appreciated.
Hi everyone, just wanted to let you know that I am finally getting some answers about my Vertigo. After getting an MRI done, which was negative. They did see a lot of lesions from all of the migraine headaches I have had in my life, but no tumor. Then an Ophthalmologist wanted to rule out Myasthenia Gravis because for about five weeks I had had double vision. Then I had a Videonystagmography test also called a VNG test done.
This one involved wearing goggles with a cover on and I would do various eye tests. It also involved having cold air blown into my ears and then warm air. That was very intense and my head hurt the whole next day. The one thing was that she also tested my hearing and told me it was perfect. That made me very happy.
The end result is that I definitely have an inner ear problem. So my ENT does not feel that intense physical therapy would help me, so he is referring me to another ENT specialist at Johns Hopkins. Not sure when that will happen, but I told him I wanted to get aggressive about this because I want answers. This is getting very frustrating not knowing how I am going to feel day to day.
Otherwise, my daughter Guenna is doing good with her pregnancy and miss Vivian Olivia is doing just fine. It is weird tho that right now she thinks she has an inner ear infection!!!!
I finally put a ticker on my signature cause I told all of the doctors that I will not give up my cruises. I am getting very excited since I have not seen Disneyland since 1968 and I think maybe it has changed a little???
That they can finally find the cause and a cure. I am happy to hear that your DD and GD are doing well.
Good morning, DDA!
Terry - I am glad you are getting some answers! And yay for a healthy baby and mama!
Bob is out of ICU again. He is actually back in the room he was in before the move back there! Lots of changes in his treatment that I see as positive. I will keep you up to date as best I can.
It is Festival Time and that means working 7 days a week until March 6, and I am running on fumes at times already. I know I have to do what is best for me as well as Bob and my students. So I am doing my best to stay healthy and rested.
Have good weekends, everyone.
Oh... in case I miss saying so tomorrow:
Elin-
Theresa-
Deb-so sorry to hear about your job.
Terry-
Anne Marie & Janet-
Work is still very stressful for me. Last week was awful. I found one $132,000 error and another $175,000 error and another $200,000 error. I do not make the entries-just analyze the financial results. I was starting to feel like they were treating me like it was my fault-you know-shooting the messenger.
