In my pantry right now, I have original cheddar goldfish, rainbow cheddar goldfish (because one boy will only eat the multi colored kind and one will only eat the orange), pretzel goldfish, baby cheddar goldfish, and cheddar goldfish with bonus starfish.

I should just buy stock in Pepperidge Farm and get it over with.

privately traded company. you are better off buying stock in the keebler elves, which make 60 percent of the girl scout cookies. they are owned by flowers bakeries and traded up like 14 cents today.

Evening gang.

Tricia - CONGRATULATIONSon your trophy!!!

Also - hope you get to go to Daytona. (of course, I will be working)

Jodie - I also noticed the DIS ads. One thread said if you were not logged on, you would see the posts, but if you were logged in, they would be hidden.

Not much going on here - work, hubby and son fighting over homework, sleep, work, hubby and son fighting over homework, sleep, (You get the idea).

elves it is , i quit watching the market 2 weeks ago . DH tells me we're holding steady...i think he just doesn't want to see me faint when i find out how they tanked...guess we're all in it together. Never had a problem dealing with corrections before until it recently dawned on me that retirement for hubby could be in 9 years maybe my DSs will keep me when i run outta dough.

youngest loves the pretzel goldfish - they're tuff to find in our area; he goes thru bags of pretzels every week - doesn't matter what kind i buy.

i'm on a chicken in a bisquit cracker kick, last month it was triscuits

course u can't go wrong with any potato chip

mac did i miss anything special on AI? fell asleep during Law&Order-nuts.

I won't ask why you know that.

Penny - on Celebrity Apprentice tonight the teams have to create a receptacle bin at Macy's, for people to deposit their old crocs.

The Crocs company is going to recycle them into new shoes and give them to 3rd world countries.

WARNING - VENT AHEAD (feel free to ignore, but it was just one of those days!)

So, I won’t go into too much detail, but I’m just so depressed right now because I HATE MY JOB. I know I haven’t mentioned this before but I do. Today was just another one of those days when it took all I could to just not quit and walk out right then. I was trying to see if this would work, and hoping that as I knew more and more what to do that there’d be less for my boss to yell at me about, but it’s not turning out that way.

Everything’s my fault, even if it happened before I was there and there’s no way I could have known about it. And as I get more competent, they just keep coming up with more and more for me to do, without giving me any training. And now it seems like they’re transferring everything from our other office up to me (because the people there are incompetent), which of course means I’m taking over things that are already screwed up (read just that from now on it’s my fault) and that I have no one to train me on how to do correctly. And not enough hours in the day. My boss has this “you have to prioritize better” mentality, yet everything is “must be done NOW”.

So now I’ve decided that my goal will instead be to try to get through this school year doing this. Without totally blowing my top at him, because that’s about what’s going to happen right now! So that I can at least have some references (I think the other 2 people I work with would probably say good things if I could get their home emails/phone numbers/addresses and not have them called where my boss was around). If I just quit, I know my boss would say bad things, but I’m hoping if I make it to the summer, then I could use an excuse like “my kids’ schedules aren’t going to work with my schedule here because I’ll have to be driving them between schools/college/etc.”, whether or not it’s true! I’m too far away to drive back and forth and they seem convinced I HAVE to be there at the end of the day. I was hoping by that point I’d be valued enough as an employee that they’d work with me, but now I’m hoping even more that I’ll just have an excuse to leave.

Right now I know I’d have a hard time getting a job anywhere with DS12’s schedule, but maybe next year, I might have one where I could. (Even if that’s not what I tell my company). And I think if my boss just felt I was leaving because of hours, he’d be more tactful and say I was an okay employee. Just in case someone happened to do some research and call him (I certainly wouldn’t list him as a reference). I’m sorry, but this is just not a $9 an hour job. You can’t expect someone to know all there is to know about finance and insurance and be responsible for about 100 different things in addition to reception stuff without training them and paying so little. If I was getting paid $20 an hour I’d suck it up. For $9, I’ll go work at Target. It’s not worth the stress on me and my family. Okay, so I lied. I did go into detail. I hate my job! (that’s the short version)!

I won't ask why you know that.

YOU KNOW HOW THE WORLD IS FILLED WITH FOLKS WHO KNOW USELESS PIECES OF INFO AND ALL THAT?

yeah, count me in that group.

 

[macraven]

well marcie, if it makes you feel any better, when something goes south here, we can blame you................. jk


the boss will not give a bad recommendation if he is in his right mind.
do you know the trouble you could cause him if he noted anything personal as a past reference???

that company can give out limited info.......that's the law.
they can say the dates you were employed with them.

heck, skip target. go for the places that sell tacos.
i would.........i love them chalupa's

Look on the bright side. February is minutes away. Summer will be here before you know it and you can effectively Resign and find a less stressful job.
