Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Suzi, please listen to Hec. You already have so much stress going on and your work isn't supposed to add to that stress. Seriously. It's JUST A JOB. I know it's a good job and you can't lose it but you do have some pull right now. Use it if you can, sweetie.

Thanks David - I have put out the call that I need help and they ARE trying. I have people "on call" in the Boise office to help me with the routine stuff. Plus I have a clerical person to handle my grunt work.

Since my assistant is off on disability they cannot hire a person to replace her, and the things I REALLY need help with can only be accessed by an employee, not a temp.

Today, I had both side tell me how valuable I am and how I do not need to worry about the security of my job. Yeah, ok. I am still getting calls from other people who are offering me work in other departments if this doesn't "work out". And YES, I am using that leverage as best I can.

This downtime next week is just exacerbating the whole thing...

Sorry it's so stressful, girlie. If I can do anything, just say the word. Music? Dvds? Let me know.

Music is always a good thing.

I have a gift cert for a massage and I believe I will make an appointment this weekend. My back is SO tight right now.

BUT, on the good side, I think I might be able to get outta here by 6.....only another hour. Woooo hooooo.

(For when you get back) Thank you so much, Nora. I just finished what might be the last of calling people to invite them to the memorial and so I am sort of feeling raw again tonight. Reading your words helped me feel better about things again.

I'm glad I can help. Anything I can do to make yo ufeel a bit better after what you have been through... {{Cass}}

MG- WHAT HEC SAID. You do have leverage there and it is totally not acceptable for you to continue to catch ALL the shit rolling downhill. Regardless of what they SAY it's what they DO that matters.

Also, hi. I'm home. God, I'm home. Thank god I'm home.

Yes. You must do this. No excuses.

Music is always a good thing.

Anything specific? I already checked your wishlist and there isn't any music on it.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Earlier tonight I heard an NPR report that said there are problems with the new prescription drug program for seniors.

Hard to believe. I've never heard of a government agency that had problems.

Right. So then a mix cd full of Celine Dion and Rick Astley. Got it all under control. Watch for it to show up in your mail box.
