Yeppers, all day too

 

[keishashadow]

hi friends, i'm crushed

my mom is doing okay, but my baby kittie Bommer has passed. 17 great yeears of friendhsip, has had a good life (i rescued him, abandoned by neighbor who moved); honestly - the best pet i've ever been blessed with. Thought i could keep him home until the end, held him for 2 days, didn't work out - appeared to be in pain so i had to have him put to sleep. Here's a picture with him helping decorate for halloween - isn't he adorable?

 

[pkasbohm]

Morning all!

TGIF!!

ks--sorry to hear about your poor kitty

 

[mickey4ver]

Keisha........so sorry about Bommer it is always hard to lose a pet, they are so much part of the family. Wow, 17 years too, that makes it even harder when they have been part of your life for so many years. He looks like he was really helping to decorate too he has that look of giving his final opinion on whatever you were doing...LOL.. Hugs my friend

 

[pkasbohm]

hey mic, how did your meeting go yesterday?

 

[mickey4ver]

Hi everyone..........ewe...old rainy evening, damp and cold...yuck...good night to snuggle under the covers

Pam, I had my meeting today, finally. He said to be open and honest, so I pretty much laid it out on the table how I felt. He asked in a perfect world, what bothered me about my job, so I told him the surpervisor and of course the whole way the guys react to answering phone calls. He said he was VERY aware of the supervisor problem. Well, we went on talking and he said in a perfect world, what position would I like to see myself in, in the company. And I laughingly said it would be nice to be your personal assistant and help you be organized etc. So after discussing the matter, he in as much said he would LOVE for me to be his personal assistant, it is something he has wanted to have for some time (he is a very anal person about organization, and he has little time to keep his office/desk straight). What he would like to see happen is they hire an administrative assistant to do a lot of what I do now and have me just work for him. SOOO...I told him that made me feel very good, it is a challange I would like to try. He said it would take a little working on, but hopefully, this will happen. The office manager was working at home today so she will be quite surprised that he has even considered this move. He said she may be p.o'd...but like I told him, he did not ask to meet with me, I requested to meet with him and the purpose of the meeting was not to change my position, we just sort of stumbled on the idea and went from there. Personally, I told him that I've thought for some time he needed a secretary or assistant, if not me, then someone to help him. I explained how I was getting very nervous about the move with all the work I do, what the office manager keeps saying "you will be doing this, you will be doing that", plus trying to help him out...I said I feel overwhelmed and it hasn't even started yet. I do not want to hate coming to work or feel so stressed all the time. The other girl in accounting, whom I'm very close too, was in tears yesterday after the OM got done with her. Poor girl is so overwhelmed with work, she can't think straight, and she is constantly blamed for every little thing, when it is the fault of the OM. I feel so bad for her. And when she can't pick on her anymore, that is when she starts in on me. It's very difficult to be positive with such a negative type person telling you what to do. No one really likes her, it isn't just us girls. We don't understand why she has to be so nasty, she & her hubby have money, a nice home, a grown son, a condo at the beach, but yet she still never acts happy. I hope he doesn't let me down, I've very excited about the challange. Time will tell. I could use a little raise also He seems to think we would work together very well. I know it will be difficult, cause he has set ideas about things, but I think it can work. It will just take both of us working together to get on the same page. But, it is what it is and we will see.

Sorry that got long winded but all the honesty for me today felt like it set me free............

 

[macraven]

keisha, i am grieving with you about bommer.....

i'm a phone call away if you need a friend inside a box.

 

[pkasbohm]

mic--that is very cool! I hope everything works out for you.


I don't think I will have time to get on here in the morning. Tomorrow is the big shopping day.

Hope you all have a good weekend.

 

[keishashadow]

hi guys, cleaning like a fiend - good therapy; i feel 10 years older; keep thinking of the good times - what else can you do?

mic - congrats; hope it works out for you!

 

[mickey4ver]

KS, I do that too, go on a cleaning spree to occupy my mind when things are hard to handle...like all loss's, right now it hurts terribly and if you are like me, you wonder 'why'...but it does get better. The hurt is always there, but those feelings you are having right now do subside. It is so cliche', but time does heal our wounds. Mine tend to live right under the surface and get the better of me at times, but after the worse goes away, I can smile a bit If it helps at all, I do know what/how you are feeling right now and I sure have been in your shoes, so don't feel alone

I fell asleep watching TV, now I'm awake...

Pam, have fun on the gal's shopping day! I hope for one of those in a couple weeks

Anyone watching The Next American Band? It actually is pretty good, and I've got a couple favorites. It has a little faster pace than AI, and I find that appealing in itself.

 

[mickey4ver]

Good Saturday morning friends

 

[sweetlovin']

Pam - have a great day shopping

Mic - that is AWESOME!! Good for you for speaking up and getting what you wanted.

Keisha - I am so sorry for the loss of you kitty.

Hope everyone else is having a great weekend!

 

[mickey4ver]

Hello friends, and here it is Sunday evening again...where did the time go from 5 p.m. Friday to now

Hi Momma, haven't seen you much, glad you dropped in, we miss you

So Pam, how was shopping? What did everyone else find to get into this weekend...KS, hope your Mom is doing well and hope you are coping with the loss of your Bommer

I wasted a good bit of yesterday doing nothing, then we decided to go catch a movie, so I hurridly finished up a few things and we left. We saw American Gangster and we really liked it...I like Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe, so it was very good with both of them starring. We stopped and got a sandwich and were driving home, almost to the house, perhaps a 1/2 mile, and a deer decided to run right into the drivers side of dh truck We escaped being hurt, killed the deer, but it put a nice dent in the truck and the door is messed up trying to open/close it. I yelled as it scared the crap outta me. If I can find the good in the situation, it wasn't head on so it could have been much worse. It is always something

Today we went and ran errands and stopped at ds's condo, showed them how to make easy chili for dinner. Came home and put my stuff away and I'm doing a load of clothes...rest of the evening is down time for me...I'm gonna veggitate.

KS, have you been watching ER? This past Thursday was Again, it has plodded along for a couple weeks, then BAM, its a good shocker story.

So who besides me is fixing Thanksgiving dinner? Was I nuts???? Actually I plan to keep it simple. I'm looking forward to it.

 

[pkasbohm]

evening all!

shopping was good...i have to say that I think I am over 1/2 done We went to trent and noah's basketball games today. They both lost but are really improving.

Okay so tell me who is all in for the secret santa again?

I am going to go and veg too...I am not feeling well tonight.

 

[mickey4ver]

Morning friends...Monday it is...and turkey day is next week....each week brings something to keep me from following a healthy diet all week I need to drop a few pounds...once they start to creep up, it's hard to ditch them

Pam, hope you are feeling better...I'm in on the secret santa

More later...gotta run

 

[keishashadow]

back to the grind

cleaned all weekend, still not done; my standards are high only when company is coming

bought a 24 pd turkey (don't even want to think how long that will take to cook?); still need two more breasts for the carnivores (dh's family only eats meat, mashed potatoes & corn the english you know ) I prefer all the calorie laden side dishes & dessert table - drool.

pam - hope ur all better & you got lots done this weekend

mic - ER was good, although i nodded off for a few min. ; was wondering about the movie you mentioned. Never saw Shrek III was going to pick it up for a flick to watch over Thanksgiving; read it was a turkey -anyone see it?

trying not to whine - middle DS had a fender bender over the weekend i'm now just trying to go with the flow 18 days till we run away down south

 

[pkasbohm]

Morning all!

I am feeling better today but aubrey is home sick. she has a temp and a cough. When I called the school to tell them she wouldn't be there they said it is going around. So she is taking it easy today.

KS--a fender bender really stinks! glad he is okay.

Mic- I hear ya on the pounds creapin' up on ya. I went and got our membership back at our fitness center again. I figured I will try to work out before the new year but I am going to hit it hard come Jan. 1st.

Bob should be coming back soon shouldn't he?!

Have a good monday everyone!

 

[mickey4ver]

KS, now that I know you saw ER, I'll start on my questions...I'm not sure but is Luca leaving the show? I see he is back this week, but wondering if Abby having the slip with booze and the Dr. will be his out of the show, a breakdown in their marriage? The young prodigy boy that is in the ER is so goofy but you gotta love him he is so nerdy but funny. I still think John Stamos is a hottie...wonder if he will hook up with the pastor lady...anyhoot, it is an enjoyable season so far.

Haven't seen Shrek 3, so can't comment.

Well, must have been the weekend of fender benders...although ours was an act of nature damn deer, they should just stay in the woods where they belong

Where are you heading south? Disney? Oh, goody for you.

I have to agree, cleaning only has meaning when someone is coming to visit

It is indeed a Monday...a gov't holiday also, so I expect us to be busy with those gov't workers having the day off...it is raining though, so maybe they will be afraid of melting and stay the heck home

 

[mickey4ver]

Hey Pam, you snuck in...sorry Aubrey is feeling bad but it is that time of year and they bring everything home with them from school.

Yep, let's all stick together again and knock off a couple pounds

Yes, Bob has to be back...wonder if he is cooking the turkey this year

 

[Bob Slydell]

Bob should be coming back soon shouldn't he?!

Got back yesterday afternoon. Great trip, I'll try to give some more details this week, but I have to get out of here soon to get Ryan to his Little Gym class. See you all later.

Oh, and yes, we'll be cooking the turkey this year (as most every year). This year, it's going to be a small crowd, though, just Nicole's family (all two of them) and us.
