Thrive to spite them

Not a fail at all!!

Connie, you do always have us. And I keep thinking about you during the day and hope that the world is showing you kindness in small ways.

I sort of had my 1 year review (i9've been at the store almost a year!) and it was really good. The most stuff I got quibbled on were things that were partly out of my control and my manager totally acknowledged that. So we have a business program where if customers say they are buying for a business we can submit leads to the org that handles business sales.

I had one lead that lead to a $30,000 sale and another one that lead to a $60,000 sale. And all combined it's been $120,000 in sales that the store gets credit for. Managers are impressed by that.

Plus I heard back from the therapy place and I got an intake appointment in 2 weeks.

Yay, askye! I'm glad to hear the job is going well; I can't believe it has been a year already.

Plus I heard back from the therapy place and I got an intake appointment in 2 weeks.

I still need to go back and try to find a therapist on the list that I am comfortable with.

That's great, askye! And managers should be impressed by that.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

best possible chemo~ma, Ginger!

Mostly dropping in to share a little gem: i set up a call on a chihuahu puppy in a fenced backyard, psrby said had it's head stuck in a food can and was afraid to go into the yard to help in case, ya know, homeowners came home and found him trespassing and manhandling one of their puppies. Fair 'nuff. Clearance note from officer: "got can off puppy head". Dunno what it is about that phrasing, but I cannot stop laughing.

(And i'm thrilled that my choice to send police only, not fire on an "animal rescue" paid off. Of course the police dispatcher wanted to hand if off to fire...but seriously...it's not like they needed special equipment to free the pup. Just opposable thumbs.)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Hil, wishing you relief.

erin, that story made me smile.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Haha, Erin, I love that.

Thanks. I'm feeling a little bit better, but still hurting a lot. I was supposed to drive back to NJ today, but I decided to wait until tomorrow -- I'm not sure that I can handle moving all those suitcases around, and then driving for three and a half hours, today.
