just remember ( and maybe work needs to be reminded ) that once you graduate the possiblities for new jobs are much greater

Thanks beth. December 3rd is my magic date for school. Then mid-February, 2008 for passing my tuition reimbursement pay back date.

Those dates are looming large in my mind. My direct management is well aware and they are trying to help me. The raise, the attempt to move my office, the suggestions of other work - all are coming from my direct management. Unfortunately they are located in the Boise office and it is the folks I'm working with here that are making life difficult. I'm not counting L in that, though her situation sure throws a monkey wrench in the whole thing (still waiting to here how her chemo went on Friday - no clue if she will be in tomorrow or not).

Someone tap dance nekkid or something. Need distraction.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

What I don't understand is why you can't get a temp in for, say, 20 hours per week to help out with L's workload?

L's workload is not much of an issue anymore. I have J trained up in Boise for anything that L can't do. Plus, now that I'm finally caught up, I've been able to shift some things around and I can handle my workload much better now.

I'm more worried about L's health and the pressure being put on her by the folks here. She is not the same person she was pre-chemo. Her memory is shot and she is struggling to keep up - and this is before this new round of chemo. Yet the local folks keep expecting her to pick up where she left off 2 years ago. Ain't happening. Aint' gonna happen. Then I get crap for getting help from my management and crap for training J.

SO sorry. I said I wouldn't fuss any more. I need to win the lottery so I can make this all mute. I guess I'd have to play the lottery to win, eh?

This kind of thing pisses me off in such a big way. Insane troll logic.

Suzi, arrrrrgh! That sucks!

Use it wherever skin and cloth rub

Or wherever skin and skin rub (if, like me, you have fat thighs and exercise in shorts [vs. yoga pants] -- Bodyglide is DEFINITELY your friend).

Thrive to spite them

Good news about my surgery! I got a call from the outpatient center letting me know the total But wait! Since it's a payment in full they'll take of 75%! And if you act now there's even more! If I can pay the whole thing on the day of surgery then they'll take off another 5%!

And I have the money to pay the oral surgeon tomorrow (also in full) but my dental insurance will reimburse me a chunck of that which I can use to repay my parents (who will be providing the out patient payment) when it comes in.

Yay for the good surgery news, Askye!

Yeah, I'm thinking about getting this stuff for my use for when I wear skirts. I have serious chafing issues just, uh, walking around all day.
