Okay...I've Called the Late Night DISers, Now I'm Calling the Single DISers (Part 2)

[Pin Wizard]

TB...I don't know about that. A number of people seemed to cut out early on Friday, and just before my boss left, he asked if I'd be there until 5:00. Uhhhhhhhhh...of course. I really hate the hour for lunch. I've always felt rushed with 1/2 hour, but it's better than an hour. I actually had a job years ago where we had a 45 minute lunch. THAT was perfect!

Bizybea...Glad last night went well, and he didn't show!

I also took dd to see the new Pooh movie. That was the longest hour. And I even slept through most of it.

Tomorrow's Monday and I am dreading it. Anyone else dread going to work on Mondays? I have never in my life looked forword to going to work. That's sad.
I have until the end of the week to decide if I stay here or move back to South FL. Right now I can't think of why I even wanted to move here. Even my sister and her kids are driving me nuts. All I can think is, "I moved here for this?" I looked forward to moving here and doing stuff together and now I'd rather not.

 

[Pin Wizard]

I hear you, Legs! Forget the career route, not for me. I'd much rather NOT work!! The other day DHT sent me an e-mail and said he's glad I'm happily employed. Well, I'm not! I told him...Let's say I work because I must. That's the truth. I tell you, military wives have it made if the worst happens. Seems they're covered for life by health insurance, can get a pretty penny from life insurance if they have the coverage high enough, but they still don't get enough to "retire" from what I've seen. Believe me, it goes quickly if you're not working! Then add the kids in. Any way, my bottom line is that I need health insurance so I MUST work! It sucks in plain English. My private insurance is through the roof and going up again in March. It does every March. No, I refuse to pay over $400 a month just for me! That's not including DS. So it's definitely time to get to work. I'm there with you, Legs. I don't look forward to work on Mondays. Right now I don't dread it since it's a new job, but when I was at the hospital I DID dread it! Actually what I would much rather do than work is get back to school full time and do what it takes for that degree. It goes on the back burner again.

Does anyone ever get paid what they're worth? I know I should be making more than I do. I'm worth it. But I've found that in this area, you're lucky if you're not taking a cut! That's why I work 32 miles away. If I work here in town, I lose an easy $5,000 a year.

legs22~Oh, good! I thought it was just me! The best part of the movie was the reaction at the the begining, when they figure out that there is a Heffalump among them. After that, I lost interest, but my DD loved it, so it was worth going!
And I, for one, can't wait until the week starts. Weekends are always slow for me, nothing to do, nowhere to go, no one to talk to. At least during the week I'm busy with work and school, no time to think about the pain I still feel over the lost relationship.
Regardless, everyone have a HAPPY Monday!!
Yay! Monday! Yay!
Now, I'm going to watch Extreme Home Makeover and Desperate Housewives!

This weekend was a bit strange feeling. In past times I've hated weekends because they're just too lonely. Sure, DS is here, but that's not the same. I try and keep busy as a distraction for the most part. Guess we stayed busy enough this weekend since I can't believe it's already Sunday night. LOL! And I better hit the hay since I need to get up at 4:30.

SSB...glad you had such a good time with the kiddos!!!

Chow!

 

[SideshowBob]

Hello PinW, and my friends... fun weekend, but a crashing end when they left at church this morning... Always hate that part, but have to look forward to the next time to see them... love them, so very, very much.

 

[legs22]

SSB- Glad you enjoyed your weekend with your kids. I think it's great how much you love them and enjoy being with them and involved in their lives.
What kind of work do you do?

I love weekends! I can shut out the world and not have to answer to anyone. I can do whatever I want (well, to a certain extent. I do have a child). I love being at home!

PW- Mine is a new job and I still dread it. ACK! I have been up since 1:30am tossing and turning. I hope your week is good and painless.

Are things getting any better Legs?

 

[Pin Wizard]

Oh, I knew I should have forgotten about e-Harmony. Anyone else get suckered in when they send you an e-mail that they've found a match? Yes, two matches in the past two days. I'm trying to overlook the lack of height thing. I want a tall guy! At least taller than me! These two are shorter. Call me shallow. I cannot budge on smoking and height. I'm chatting with the first one...he's Air Force. But the second one is ditched.

Pin Wizard ~ I don't blame you at all! I know what I'm looking for, and some things I cannot and will not compromise on. Don't settle for less than what you are looking for. Oh, and by the way, how long after you did your personality thingie did eharmony send you results? I still have nothing from them, but it hasn't even been a month yet.

I think it took a couple of months for me to get a match and it is still very, very slow. That's because I am very specific in what I want plus I am older with a child. The younger ones seem to get a ton of matches.

I have to decide by the end of this week if I am staying here or moving back to South FL. I tried a pro/con list and flipping a coin and nothing is helping me decide! I have no idea what I should do. I wish I had a crystal ball.

 

[Pin Wizard]

bizybea...I'm not sure how long it took afterwards. Let's say I've been with eHarmony on and off too long. Today I was thinking the AF guy will get the ax soon. I got his first bunch of answers, and some don't quite go with what I'm looking for. **sigh!**

Legs...good luck! I hope a decision gets easier. Have you talked to your former employer to see if you can go back? Do you even want to, or would you want a different job in S. FL?

Yes, I could go back to my former employer. If you go back within 3 months you return to your same benefits and rate of pay. The trouble is, I'm not sure if I want to. The money is better, but the same old problems are there with that job too. The only way I would go back to S. FL is if I got my old job back just because of the money factor.

 

[Pin Wizard]

That's a tough one, Legs. Personally, money isn't everything. Important, yes. But I'd much rather be happy in my job even if it's a bit less money. Tough decision, especially for a single parent!!!

 

[bizybea]

How did everyone's week go? Mine flew by too fast, back to the slooooooooow weekend again. :/ We have a birthday party to go to this weekend, other than that and church, my homework is done and I'll just be sitting around, oh! After I clean the house.

 

[Pin Wizard]

By Thursday I was ready for the week to end. Now that the weekend is here, I don't want it! I'd like to trade in my life for a different one about now. Just not happy.

 

[legs22]

Same here, Sandy.

 

[Pin Wizard]

Sorry, Legs. I know it's the job and move for you.

I tell you...those of you that are okay and maybe even happy being single...I have to give you credit. I've never liked it, although when I was married I wasn't happy either. But the lonliness is a real killer. I'm tired of it.

 

[bizybea]

One day down and one more to go, guys! I think I'm going to pop some corn and watch the Oscars tomorrow night. Who's with me?
