I actually did name drop on you CM. He said he knew you. He asked because I said I have been in their bldgs and knew they kept high standards, so he asked which bldg I've been in. Thats when I used your name and said 225.
seriously, Thanks everyone for the encouraging words.
I just got out of a meeting, and think I've expressed my concerns fully. I understand the gravity of the situation my boss is in, and I've expressed the gravity of my situation to him.
Short Story, Next week I start learning how to find other employment. It's been far too long since I've really buckled down with finding other jobs. I know, I've had opportunities before, but for some reason or other I haven't followed through with them. I guess to be honest, I'm a creature of comfort, and find changing jobs is uncomfortable if I can avoid it. But, I also know you can't avoid change forever, or it'll tear you apart.
In the same respect, I've essentially given this place until the end of the year, and expressed that in that meeting. I'm an overly reasonable person, I know, I always have been, and can't change that. By setting a time to evaluate where I stand, I've locked myself into a do or die scenario, now I just need to stick to it.
Irritation of the day: People who seem to live on other planets.
I have a friend, who is helping plan our girls retreat for next weekend. One of the girls and myself are doing a little auctioning off of nicknames - cause in other clubs everyone has a moniker. We want to start the bidding at $1 and up it by $1 incriments. If you don't like your nick name - you can bid against it in $1 incriments. All the money is collected $8 of it goes to get you a name tag with your moniker - and the rest goes into the 'fun account' for use for kegs for our next party.
lil miss - I live on another planet - wants to know why we can't just use play money... um cause the place that makes the badges doesn't deal in play money! Hello! come back down to the real world. I can't give you my monopoly money to pay for my spot at retreat can I?
They also wanted to know stuff that wasn't on my resume so I told them I'm in the cooler crew and geocache. I started explaining the cooler crew and he said he's heard of us.
Ive had to dress up and where highheels all day because of the court house event tonight- I walk down the hall and think I must just be hilarious to watch because I CANNOT walk in heels!!! I was just not made for them.
She is in the Carribean, on Holland America lines, today they are at sea all day, coming from St. Thomas yesterday and arriving in Half Moon Cay, Bahamas tomorrow.
thanks though sunny, thats the way I try to walk already in them
my feet hurt sooooooo bad tonight :frown:
even a couple toes are numb and Im trying to bend it off
but it was a nice evening - cool event
over 200 people - standing room only
and the tour of the court house was awesome- we (me and 199 other people) had the whole place to ourselves. I did finally get to walk around the court house barefoot.
Guess whos desk I'm sitting at in the court house? very fun!
way cute shoes. that suxs that they hurt. ice.ice.ice and roll golf balls under your feets. (crazy but helps)
love heels. i can run in them better than most. walking usually isnt a problem. myuy pain coms from charlie horses later from not stretching my calves.
whats even worse is if YOU are the one firing them after their shift is done! I've had to fire an entire crew before. The owner of the company was so pleased with my 'tact' and 'braveness' that they transfered me to another location and kept me on. BUT IT SUCKED! it was an aweful end to a nice place.
Just think- someone may know something about your day when it comes and you don't - now that would suck too
Sheesh.. the Boss brought one of his kids (3 year old) in today, of all days, when he's firing someone.
Talk about the inability to show proper decorum.
As he left, he was talking to his kid "Okay, time to go, Hip Hip, Hooray!" as he walked past said ex-employee's desk, as she's cleaning her stuff up.
It's almost as bad as at the old place, when he laid off half the warehouse staff, 2 sales reps and all the drivers in one afternoon. He brought his kid in that day. It was surreal, one of the employees took his kid to the zoo while he was firing people.
either that or he brings in the kid, because he's afraid somebody is going to tell him to his face what they think of him - and doesnt think they'll do it with his kid around...
I think if I saw him coming in the door with his kid, i'd find a bathroom to hide out in all day, or something.
it wasn't a reply to either one of you- I just happen to see something that someone was doing this morning that dissapointed me and made me sad and angry all at once and I couldn't do anything about it. It was because they just plain didn't know they really shouldn't be doing it.
mikey, what you said sounds pretty good. honest. good luck.
Did I miss the phone call!?

I know exactly why the boss is picking one person over another. Because the one would complain more.
Heck, fire me, I'm "young and single".
It changes nothing anyways. When 6 months comes and sales haven't increased, I'm still outta here.
taking a big pill yesterday and having it scratch my throat
when I swallow I can feel it :frown:
I usually cut this one in half

I've tried all the usual tricks, but not finding anything.
my sister is away on a cruise, at sea today, but we weren't expecting her to call, but that was my first thought
anyone know of any way to know where a call from this number originated?
I removed the link because it was really long! :ooh:
it gives you more of a sexy glide in them when you get it down. Works exceptionally well if the heels are higher than 3 inches.

 But the Army can do anything... Not sure if it is OK in a real job.

No wait, that's an enjoy :smile:
I'm sorry, I was ignoring you... :goofy:

He's not married, never has been to my knowlegde. He adopted two little boys from China.
He leads a very odd life, one that I really don't want to figure out, or even make guesses at.
:chagrin: :confused:
I think if I saw him coming in the door with his kid, i'd find a bathroom to hide out in all day, or something.
The wierd thing is KC's boss is in his mid 50's. Kitch, what's it like to have 2 young kids in your mid 50's?
that was probably me picking my nose, at the stoplight...
I do that all the time. :cool:
I got to play with/against your hubby the other night
missed you
