'Safe'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
askye, that is a situation anyone would be stressed about. Is there anyone in the organization you can turn to with your concerns?
I wish I'd marked the previous discussion on this topic; I'm going to visit a friend today who has breast cancer and is getting chemo, what are some ideas for little things to take? Soft scarf, ginger candies? Scent-free lotion?
And Sean, how are you doing? What can we do to support you and help you move forward? Do you need help with accountability or resume stuff?
Ginger candies and tea. Scarves need to not be slippery and to hold a knot well. Soft cotton knit hats. Books.
Hubby talks to the oncologist about treatment options this afternoon. We debated me going with him, but I decided (to myself) that he might want a chance to break down a little without his inclination to be tough in front of me.
Here's hoping for some good treatment options.
Coloring book and pencils/crayons, smonster? I think there's been some discussion about "mindless things that keep hands busy but aren't taxing/can be put down easily"
Cool, thanks all.
Connie, what Fred said. Continued good thoughts headed your way.
Connie continued~ma for you and your DH.
Askye, I'm sorry that your work situation is so stressful. I hope it improves soon.
They could have filled the other full time position before the holidays. But my then supervisor wanted to wait...she had someone in mind shewas wwanted to talk into applying. Then the supervisioe got a job and sshes gone . She said shed stay on parr time but that lasted one shift.
They took applications for the other position but no interviews. Now my dept manager got jos dream job and hes leaving. I guess I can go to the store manager and ask the priority of filling the positions.
Also the cpany kept extending and changing our hours to 7 to mmidnifht. Then again last week. Thursday we will be back for 10-9 which will be a luxury.
The week before Xmas I worked 40 hours,had 13 overtime plus about 10 for lunches. And the days I wasn't scheduled for a lunch I didn't take a break. A few days ago I worked 9 hours without a break because there wasn't anyone to cover. We were short Staffed and it was too busy on the phones to even try to call arrange coverage.
Im under trained there's not enough backup and I'm constantly worried they'll demote me back to cashier and back to part time. I can't afford that.
Plus I have wanted to ask for more help or better scheduling but either I haven't had time or myanager has been tried up.
Things are going to slow down but I feel like I have been trying to swim to shore and mostly not drowning only to fail in sight of the beach.
Connie, what Fred said. Continued good thoughts headed your way.
Absolutely this. Strength and comfort to you both, Connie.
