[jenjolt]

Oooh Julez I'm sorry you're not having the best day!!!!!

 

[Roxychica7]

Yikes...so sorry Julez! Hopefully the rest of the day gets better!

 

[ILuvCrush]

sorry about the icky day Julez!!

CP I'm agreeing that you should call off tomarrow!!

Jen--- horray for worms!!!

LL--- boo for tuesdays... but at least its more than half over

C---you done packing yet it can't take THAT long to throw a bikini in a suitcase with some aspirin (just in case) and a clean pair of gutchies... really!!!


OK my Zen of the day.... why do I pay $70 to get the dog all bathed and brushed and trimmed up.... but I cringe at paying the lady down the street $10 to cut my hair??? Or that I start looking 45yo before i break down and buy a lousy bottle of colorsilk at Wally World??? Why??? Why??? Why???

 

[Lady Lallie]

to you Paula. It's so true! I think it's hard to spend money on ourselves. Plain and simple.

 

[MegansMom]

Happy Tuesday Ladies!!!

CP---Get better girl!!! Show those germs who's boss!!!! I hope you start feeling better REALLY soon!!!

Jen--I hope you enjoyed your worm day today!!!! FUN!!!

Julez--so sorry about your Tuesday!!! Hope things turn around for you tonight---you need a good evening!!!

Paula---I can't WAIT to see your Bo design!!! How neat!!!

It is beautiful here today--70 degrees and sunny!!! I am hoping that this means the winter weather is gone for good!!! We are loving running around in short sleeves right now, and I in no way want to go back to winter coats anytime soon!!! I think my DH has had a rough day at work today---he says a lot has happened today, but couldn't talk in depth about any of it until he got home---so I am hoping for the best for him.......but if I am being truthful, I am nervous as heck!!! I know he still has his job---the company literally couldn't function without him---but I think a lot more is being thrown on his plate, and I think the company wants to reduce everyone's salaries. I am grateful that he still has a job, just nervous for what this means for us. I know I shouldn't get all worried until I hear what it is, but my overactive mind is going haywire right now and I can't talk to him to calm me down, so I am venting to all of you---so sorry!!!!

 

[Lady Lallie]

Jen, vent away! I would be worried for your DH too. It's one of those crazy times where you just dont' know what could happen. I worry about Marc's job constantly. He survived the lastest layoffs but if things don't improve they will have to do more after June. It's really nerve wracking.

 

[MegansMom]

Well I will hope for the best for your Marc that everything goes well for him even after June!!! The biggest part of the problem right now is that I can't get a hold of Tom to talk to him about it---so my brain is probably working overtime conjuring up all these possibilities that may or may not be!

I am sure everything is fine, it's just your mind working overtime thinking the worst.

 

[MegansMom]

Yep!!! I am passing up a dinner out with two of my girlfriends tonight so I can stay home and get all the scoop. (

 

[jenjolt]

Awww Jen I do exactly what you do, if I think something has gone wrong even if its a little thing I blow it up to huge proportions in my mind and make things so stressful for myself. I do that now with every observation and every little thing here at school I just constantly worry that I'm doing something that is going to cost me my job...which is silly because I'm on a continuing contract!! However nothing beat peace of mind my friend and I wish that for you very soon!!!!

 

[MegansMom]

I just talked to him a little bit---sounds like nothing has been said definitely there--some rumors about how to cut overhead....even a rumor that they all might have to take a 20% pay reduction---that is a SERIOUS amount of money!!! I am praying and hoping with all hope that they figure out another way to figure this whole thing out without having to lose too much of his salary---that would be a huge blow to us.

 

[Lady Lallie]

My Dad had to take a 10% paycut starting this month. It translated to them taking two additional unpaid days off a month. So looking at the bright side, at least my Dad gets those days off instead of taking a paycut and then having to go into work.

I wouldn't panic too much until you know for sure. I know it's hard with everything being uncertain but you just have to focus on the postive.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Jen, I am so sorry that you are sitting there in suspense!!! I hope everything turns out okay! I hate not knowing stuff and uncertainty, so I understand exactly how you are feeling right now!

Paula and Jen, thanks for the well wishes -- I just realized that I can't really be absent tomorrow because we have a faculty meeting in the afternoon -- I have missed the last two, I think, so I better show up for this one.

I am trying not to panic too much until he knows something for sure, but if it does end up being a 20% reduction, we are talking about a RIDICULOUS amount of money that we are going to lose. It will be very difficult. So I am just praying and hoping for the best!!! Thanks for being so supportive!!!

Jen, I am so sorry that you are sitting there in suspense!!! I hope everything turns out okay! I hate not knowing stuff and uncertainty, so I understand exactly how you are feeling right now!

Thanks hon!!! I am hoping for answers soon, and hoping even more that they are things that we can live with!!! I hope you get to feeling better SO SOON!!!

 

[Lady Lallie]

So today at work, a virus popup came onto my computer screen. I had two websites up that I visit daily. Sigh. I am hoping that the DIS isn't blocked when I go to work in the morning. They were still scanning my computer for viruses when I left. Ugh Ugh Ugh.

I spent the last hour with no DIS and I almost went crazy. It's become my crutch when work is bad, slow, boring, anything!

 

[MegansMom]

Ohhhh LL----I am SO hoping that you can still DIS!!!! How will you make it through work without it?!?!?!?!?

 

[Lady Lallie]

Ohhhh LL----I am SO hoping that you can still DIS!!!! How will you make it through work without it?!?!?!?!?

I honestly don't know. I might cry, stomp, pout and bang my head on my desk...and that is all before 8:15AM.

 

[MegansMom]

Well if I hear a loud cry of "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" go out tomorrow morning, I will know your DISing days at work are over----I am SO hoping that never happens!!!!

Funny little story---I have my windows open today because it is so nice out today, and out in my backyard right outside my window is this robin sitting there chirping and squawking quite loudly, and I swear it is looking right at me as if it were saying, "Hey, I need some food lady!!!" It is SO funny!!!! Megan keeps talking to it in their own little conversation!!! I should probably be taping this because it is SO cute!

 

[julezdisney]

Hey everybody!

Well, thanks for your well-wishes, they must've worked. Not long after I wrote my venting post, Rachael came into my room with a "I'm sorry, Mommy. Is my time-out over yet?"

We had lunch, did her eye drops, and went to the park! We spent an hour on the path w/her on her bike and me walking/running! It was great!

We stopped for shakes, the library, and cruised around some interesting neighborhoods again (can't skip a nice day to scope out houses!) and now I'm making dinner. So today didn't turn out a total bust.

I hear ya on the job cuts. At the beginning of the school year, I had to cut my OWN hours by 4-per pay period by being a 1/2 hr late M,T,W, and F so I could take Rachael to school. I'd assumed that I could pick those hours back up after the school year, but my supervisor informed me that since I gave up those hours- I'm not entitled to have them back!!!! What a load of bull! I was hired at 72 hours and needed it modified- I can't believe they won't give me back my 4 hours!!! AND all overtime has been cut, so even though I don't GET overtime- I'm not even allowed extra on the end of the day. I have to punch out as close to 5 as possible-which is really annoying because sometimes I still have work to do!!! Total BS but I guess I'd rather that then be fired completely or replaced with a CNA- which is cheaper help!!

I'm gonna check on dinner- see ya'll l8r!

 

[Roxychica7]

Oh no LL!! I hope you don't lose the DIS tomorrow morning!!! We'll have to cry with you!

Glad your day went better and you were able to hang out with Rach! That totally sucks about losing your 4 hours Julez!!
