LUCK!

All the best, vw!

Luck and job-ma vibes flowing towards vw~~~~~~~~~~

Hec, the CD arrived!

Success! Did you like the artwork?

EM associates her post-partum depression with the breast pump. And we had the same problem with flattened nipples getting Emmett to breast feed.

Go, vw, go! Buckets of good job-ma.

Susan, there's always some turnover at daycares so it's not impossible to find one - especially with a few months notice. San Francisco had a central hotline for daycare recommendations. You should check to see if Seattle does as well. They probably have to be certified with city services. Craigs List is a good resources too, especially for sharing a nanny (which we did for aftercare when Emmett was in pre-school - though it was expensive).

Emmett's very first daycare was in a house near ours, with a woman who had just seven other 2 y.o.s. That worked out very well, and it's easy to check references. That's key. Talking to the other parents.

You really want to consider how the daycare dropoff is going to fit into your commute too. I preferred having it local so I'd drop Emmett off and hop on the train downtown. It was more work to take him downtown with me to my work daycare (his second), and worse still to take him to his pre-school which was not on the way to anything.

I'm really pissed off. My boss is not the most together guy ever, and I work really hard keeping a lot of balls in the air, not to mention some skills that would be hard to find at my salary. I'm checking the emails today (and I have to check them all) and I see this.

Talked to the other that lives in my house, we decided that if your secretary leaves I'll take the job. I've started back trying to get some secretarial work on the side. Did that years a few years ago. Just to bring in something extra until things get paid for. Still going to push my books and new ebooks but that can take time.

How did the talk go with your current person? Did she change her attitude? Better or worse?

Now yesterday things got a little tense. I worked (from home) all weekend- Friday night and Saturday. And when I came in it was bitch bitch bitch, or rather snipe snipe snipe. I'd been frustrated for a while- not least because I've asked for 30 minutes in the morning to check emails and get a schedule for the day put together before he comes in with "Oh and we need to..." "Sometime could you..." "You need to ..."

So very angry.

Good luck to the bug that could!

hoo boy, Heather. That SUCKS.

That sucks so much, I'm posting about it twice. You should print out the email for him and hand it over pointedly.

Oh my goodness, Heather. I'm not even sure what the proper response oughta be, other than righteous indignation. Er, if I'm reading that all right, i.e. that you're the "current person" in question.

There aren't words. There is smacking. But there are not words.

Heather--what an ass! Especially, it seems to me, to be ragging on you in a forum that he knows it's your responsibility to read. Has that situation ever created awkwardness or weirdness for you before, reading things that he may not have wanted you to see?
