No word on the job search
Called my friend @ the awful paying dept store to let her know I was still thinking about it, and she said she doesn't work there anymore...She had to up and leave, she got a government job that started right away (this past Monday) she applied for it a year ago, and it's double the money, WOW!
Anyway, she said there is a hiring freeze @ the store right now anyway, not hiring until March-April, but when they start again, it will be FT not PT...If God forbid I am still not working then, I'll think about the store again

I called the temp agency for the heck of it, he said the company that I interview for a position with doesn't know what they are doing Now their top priority is to replace the manager they just lost...So I'm not out of the running for the office position, but they aren't concerned with it right now.

That so stinks if employers/ agencies do this to you. Maybe they should hire you as their new manager so that you can show them how it is done. When I applied for the job with the company that I work for now, I had two agencies and three companies messing me around. Fortunately the company that I wanted to work for was the first to get themselves sorted out as this was the company I really wanted to work for.

They decided to put a trach in last night. Bob had insisted that I teach yesterday so I got to the hospital just as they were wheeling Bob into the OR. He came through it well, and the surgeon said he had experienced a number of firsts with Bob. He has never gone into ICU to discuss options with a patient and the family to find the patient on a ventilator, reading a book and writing notes in a steno pad. Bob actually signed his own consent form which was again a first for the surgeon!

Praying every day gets better for you and your family

Wow... I can't believe your friend upped and left. Maybe it was a good thing you didn't take that job.

How could she not, it was a government job that pays TWICE the salary..Anyone would've up & left!

I leave in 14 days and in 16 days I will be in Disney. I am soooo excited!!

Oh, you are soooo lucky!

I live in an area famous for snow, storms, and blizzards. I think we may have a total of 8 inches total from the last 3 weeks. Mother Nature definitely changed her mind about who belongs in the bi*** zone!!!

I'm so tired of snow, we've got about 2 feet on the ground...Rumor has it we're getting more on Tuesday. It doesn't really help my mood
I am craving a 2 or 3 night DVC no parks, just chill trip to get away from this winter!...Oh well, I can dream.

Argh! Another storm coming? A week without more snow would be nice.

Oh, I know I've heard 50% chance of snow & sleet, but someone else told me another 6-8 inches

Sounds like Bob is on the mend! Still thinking of you Elin...

Ridiculous...why can't people get their act together?! Something else will come along for you!

OMG - I know - I heard that it will be a "long event" - Tuesday night and all day Wednesday. The kids will be going to school until July this year! DH borrowed a friend's snowblower today to widen our driveway and sidewalk and make room for more. Ugh!

 

[wendypooh]

Hey Everyone - just checking in......... it's been a few days - or it feels like it!!

Elin - hope all is well with Bob!!

Jenn - OMG - I'm hoping for the best for you on the job front!!

Kim and others - I'm sending pixie dust for no more snow!!

We've thankfully started to warm up - I'm so glad!

On another note - we decided to buy a new house - this neighborhood is getting kinda old and some not so desirable sorts are starting to creep in - so, I've been up to my eyeballs in boxes - packing!!!! It's ROUGH - I had NO IDEA how much crap we had.................. LOL Anyway - big hugs to all - if you don't hear from for a few days - I'm hanging out with Jimmy Hoffa in my closet!!

As long as you all want me to post the updates here, I will. I know not everyone is on facebook, so you wouldn't know what was going on any other way.

Bob is now the proud owner of a trach and a PEG feeding tube in the stomach. Although he approved both these surgeries, he was not particularly happy yesterday. He has entered the bored to tears portion of a prolonged hospital stay and his impatience and stubbornness are showing themselves. He is insistent that he can eat and drink and is furious when Kristin and I won't bring him what he wants. We did get permission from the ICU staff to bring him his cell phone so he could text rather than write and he asked to play a game of Yahtzee which they also permitted. But he quickly tired with that minimal activity. The man hasn't had a feeding in a tube since noon on Friday so I imagine he is famished! I hope today brings him some more progress and less disappointment. Meanwhile, Kristin and I are continuing to try to work and go to the hospital. It will be easier once they start some kind of therapy with him, as it will give him something else to do. For security reasons we can't leave his book reader or phone or iPod with him so he is reduced to hours of watching the History Channel and reading. I am hoping he can get out of ICU soon, but his BP has to be stabilized and his little bout of arrhythmia yesterday cannot return!

Elin,

Thanks for the update. Continued prayers for Bob and his speedy recovery.
