Shh, do you hear that? It's the winds of change~link to new thread post#3501

[disneydreamin247]

Seriously??? I mean, I know of all the issues you were having....but I guess I need to re read some back posts....has your boss actually said this?? Do you work in a bank? Can you easily find a new job??

I'm so sorry you are dealing with this.

He's having me transferred to another branch and I'd get home aroun 10:30-11. I don't have someone to watch my kids that late and I really can't be away from them that late either. I'm the only parent. I turned down the transfer and I will see what they say tomorrow.

What bank is open that late??? I mean, at least you would be away from him by transferring him, but I get that it is not practical for you at all.

Is it a possibility to just downgrade a bit instead of canceling...like going back to the 12 nights at POP? I know you've been looking forward to the Poly, but for me, monetary considerations absolutely come first.

I wish you lived near me! I would refer you at my job, we are hiring!

oh no Dani! How awful! I so feel for you, what rotten luck. I hope things work out and don't end up any worse for you! Praying it works out stay strong

 

[Grumpy Grandma]

Thanks sis. I'm really thinking of canceling. Idk what to do.

Yes. I might be getting fired.

Oh Dani I'm so sorry to hear all this. They're probably giving you this transfer because he is a jerk and knows that he has no grounds to fire you but if you don't accept the transfer then he might be able to let you go without a lawsuit. I'm no attorney but ...... that's what it sounds like to me. Let us know what happens tomorrow. In the mean time here's a hug for you.

 

[basketlacey]

I am so far behind! Trying to catch up but doing this from memory!

Pad - Bree is adorable. I love the glasses!

Luv-congrats on the transfers. I think we are going to do MNSSHP on Oct 4.

Gwynne - I want to see the new haircut. I must have missed the pic in my skimming!

Chimo - I also want to try more sushi next trip! I still haven't scored a Cali grill ADR.

Kook - congrats on scoring the great rate at BLT. Does this mean no more changes ;-)

Dani - so sorry for everything you are going through at work. I wouldn't go if you are going to be miserable but I agree with some others maybe you can scale it back and still have fun?

Mm - welcome back!

Hi to all the newbies and everyone else!

I owe you guys bedroom makeover pictures! I took a bunch but I am currently in NY for work. In fact, I have a crumbs bakery cupcake n the counter yum! It was a crappy travel day and I am headed to bed! Night all!

 

[jennyjinx3]

Dani: I am so so sorry you are dealing with this a**hole. I wish I could help you somehow. This virtual hug is it. Sorry.

 

[Lillian Gracey]

@Dani: I am so sorry to hear that! That is just awful! Don't worry! Things will look up! I promise. We RCers are here for you!

 

[amandaw]

Yes. I might be getting fired.

Dani, I am really so sorry to hear this for you. Sending prayers & pixie dust your way that somehow it will all work out okay.

 

[disneydreamin247]

Thanks everyone. I hope it all works out. I know in my heart that whichever way this goes it will be for the best. If I do get fired it will get me out of a miserable workplace and force me to look for a new job, where I could possibly be much happier. I need to find someone to help me with my resume. I really should have been applying to other places for a while, but I am comfortable where I am which is why I didn't look. I am making an appointment for myself to see a psychiatrist because I can't handle all this stress and my anxiety and depression are crushing me right now. I know I need to get help. I also decided that no matter what we are going on this trip. If I do get fired who knows when we will make it back. I'm going to have a blast with my kids and not worry about real life struggles. Everything is already paid in full and budgeted.


I really want to thank my RC family for all of your kind words and support. It means the world to me.

I think it's great that you're doing what you need to take care of yourself. It's best for you & your kids. And y'all should definitely enjoy the trip. In the end, when it's all said & done, the memories you create will matter more than anything.

Happy Friday, RCers!

Dani, I hope things work out soon. I’m thinking of you, and sending you a hug.

Sjs, It’s hard when you are concerned about your sweetie’s health. I'm thinking of you and hope things go well on Monday.

Chimu2u, I figured out how to open your photo this morning. What a fun haircut!! It looks very cute on you! Great specs, too!

Kook, Your daughter is lovely! Congrats on your newest change, so glad you were able to find availability at the discount!

Mousemommy, Welcome back! Fabulous you all had a wonderful vacation! We'll stay tuned to see when the new ticker appears.

Pixarmom and I heart the mouse, Disney’s IT ways drive me nuts, too. Sometimes my reservations show, sometimes they don’t-why is it so hard for them??

Pas, I admit to being easily amused. I think Mickey is going to get a surprise soon, It appears he’s right in the path of that airplane.

I ordered new glasses and sunglasses this week. I'm an odd fit, generally kids glasses fit me perfectly. I was successful finding a couple of pair I really like without obvious motifs. (No offense to barbie, tractors, or skateboards...)

Waving hi to RCers I've missed. Have a good weekend, RC friends!

Dani, left you a VM this morning (sorry that I didn’t get your text timely last night to call you). I am so sorry for what you are going thru with the job and the jerk of a boss. This jerk is using tactics to force you to quit ... since he may be unable to do so himself. Stay strong!! Do get that resume together no matter what happens today ... you cannot stay in that toxic environment any longer than necessary ....wish that transfer offered the same hours so you could be out of there while you look for other employment.

I like and agree 100% with your attitude on this whole matter ... definitely keep the trip ... life is short and being with the family is all that truly matters. And seeing a therapist is another great idea .... remember too, that you have many RCers that can help in that regard as well.

Dani, just know that I am always here to you.

Also, a big hi to my RCer family .... have not had a chance to read thru all the posts since my trip, but hope to do so today.

Sorry I missed your call. It was a late night for me and the kids. We just woke up a little while ago.

I am definitely getting my resume started so I can get out of this place. It really used to be a great place to work. It's gone so far downhill in the past 6 years.

 

[Missoutandabout]

On my phone, so sorry this''ll be quick...

Just wanted to say my thoughts are with you, Dani. This trip will be exactly what you need... and those Lapu-Lapus, of course! Hugs to you.

No problem about missing the call ... I realized that you might be sleeping in, sure you are exhausted with everything going on.

And I firmly believe that things happen for a reason ... and you will find that it's true, when one door closes another door will open... and won't it be so good to slam that door on your old boss?!! (note the use of double exclamation points!! ))

hang in there my friend!!

Hi ya Miss!! Thought of you and Hannah while I was bidding (and biting my nails) at Ohare waiting for my flight tuesday!)

It definitely sounds like exactly what he is trying to do Mama

Bree is adorable. I love the glasses!

Thanks!!! Stay cool in the city, hot & humid!

I know in my heart that whichever way this goes it will be for the best.

Keep these words in your mind constantly.....every cloud has a silver lining...even though it's a bumpy ride to get there

I just bought new sunglasses yesterday....Nordstrom had a sale..and I had an old giftcard

So while you're getting that resume together...you can be the official TA for the RCers...why in the world would you want to do that

Seriously sis, I would love to help you out. And if booking a trip for a nutty family of 7 helps AT ALL...I'll do it. Be forwarned....you'll be on my speeddial

And I firmly believe that things happen for a reason ... and you will find that it's true, when one door closes another door will open... and won't it be so good to slam that door on your old boss?!! (note the use of double exclamation points!! ))

Yay for exclamation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry I've been MIA but I am rooting for you and I just know you'll make all the right decisions. Everything you say here is spot-on, so you are doing A-OK. You know what you have to do and you are gonna get it done. RCers are such a wonderful support and you are blessed to have them all in your corner.

I just now got the reservation I've been trying to get for months.......drum roll, please! (Do it just like Beverly D'Angelo in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation):

Bay Lake Tower One Bedroom Lake View with the military 40% discount!

Tasty change, KOOK! That is a good dilemma to have... HOW MANY DAYS at BLT?! My totally arbitrary number is 6. I will keep

Hi ya Miss!! Thought of you and Hannah while I was bidding (and biting my nails) at Ohare waiting for my flight tuesday!)

I hoe you had smooth sailing (er, flying) in the friendly skies.

Dani, so while you're getting that resume together...you can be the official TA for the RCers...why in the world would you want to do that Seriously sis, I would love to help you out. And if booking a trip for a nutty family of 7 helps AT ALL...I'll do it. Be forwarned....you'll be on my speeddial

pas130, that sounds like an excellent idea! RCers to the rescue.

Here I am, 2 days back from our trip....and since I don't go back to work until Monday, I have been pricing trips for April...

I am having such a hard time, because I want to book so badly, but I promised myself I wouldn't book until I am sure where we want to stay. Oct 22, 2012 is pretty much my deadline for booking though, because that's 180 days out and I'll need to make my ADR's....

I probably won't know anything about the military discount until closer to the Oct date anyways....but I could book either POR or POFQ now with AAA discount (for now) and always change later if pixie dust comes my way and we could book WL CL with a good discount....what's a girl to do???

DH doesn't help either, he texted me from work today and asked "Have you booked April yet?"

Book it now .... you can always change!!!

 

[Mousemommy1]

I'm sooooo trying to have willpower here!!!

When it comes to Disney, it's sooooo hard!
