One Step at a Time - May 2013

Oh, and you, Miss K9. What are you doing? Waiting around to hear that, hopefully, you've been hired to just another adminstrative position? I'm sorry.. maybe that's unkind... but I don't think so. I see, and please other contributors here, support me in this... doesn't K9 have a lot more going for her, than just another admin job? Why, K9, don't you start your own business? You obviously have what it takes! The smarts, the "gumption" ... what's up with you? You just need to find your directive; your passion! I think I remember reading that you were a volunteer at a shelter.... so.. how about starting your own doggy day care center? This is HUGE here on Cape Cod where I live... AND.. a friend of mine started her own business, years ago, in Newton, MA .. on the outskirts of Boston.. with a doggy doo doo pick up company.... I know, I know; that probably sounds gross....but it is VERY lucrative! In areas such as she's in ... outside of Boston .... those "people" can't pick up their own dog's poop... and here on Cape Cod... ewwww... the "rich" people can't be bothered to pick up doggie doo....I'm telling you, K9, maybe this isn't your dream job, but I see in you... the wherewithal to make it on your own... screw those municipal jobs.. you are much BETTER than they are!!!!

Great job Dottie! It is amazing what we're capable of doing when we're really pushed to the limit.

I'm glad to hear that your poor puppy seems to be doing better. I've had some cats react in the past to their vaccines too. Makes you feel so helpless. :l

Hey everyone......I just hate not being able to check in at work. :upset:

Anyway, I'm here and taking it a step at a time. Actually, I just got a pedicure and noticed that I need to get my tattoo touched up.

I realized that I have not been doing well since I upped my Wellbutrin about 3 weeks ago. My memory is totally shot. I felt like I was in a fog. I left a message for the psych but no call yet. I still had some of the lower dosage pills so I have switched back to them until I can get in to the Dr.

Well - I've got a bunch of e-mails to answer and a book to read. So, I'll say goodbye for now.
Sorry for everyone that's having a rough day. :h I love you all so much. Thank you for being here. It really helps having people here that will support me and that I can support. :h

Mama is going into the bear cave for the evening and get over this bad attitude

I second all that---and did it with WW's pizzas, and some tootsie rolls.

Caper..you are right...I am practicing patience and will try not to interrupt. I feel, in my heart, this is not going to work, but I am the bigger person and I am committed to giving her a fair chance.
Dottie - so sorry about the puppy. Tell me why he needs shots again?
Come on Glass.....pick yourself up and do it again
Nora....when I cut my Paxil to the minimum dose, my fog got much better. It's still there, but I am convinced being 52 is behind alot of my niggling issues.
Nora...what changed at work that you can't check in?
ok...off to work....I will be serene amd calm....
love you guys
chin up to all who are down.....

What's going on, sweetie?

Good grief, are the stars out of alignment or something??? I want us all to be happy for just five f****** minutes. Is that really to much to expect?

I TTDP, btw.
Off to buy some flowers for a spot of color here and there. Temp to be 90 today. Should be plesant in the greenhouses.:H

Up early for me to check on the puppy. She seems fine and ready to drive the other doggies nuts...
Mama the shot was just the normal puppy stuff that is required. if the next one is not really needed we will pass on it..i dont get my indoor cats vaccinated at all...but if we want to board the dogs they require it...
Slept better last night. 5 days ago the thing with the puppy would have sent me into a wine binge but I am so glad I was able to handle this without my crutch. It is hard to "feel" when i have always numbed pain or disappointment or anything I didn't want to face so this is new territory for me..to just let myself feel....

Good morning,
To all my peeps hope we all find solutions and support to our battles.
Tomorrow is May 31st and it will mark 5 months of no alcohol or no smoking, it has definitely NOT been easy but with all your support I have made it this far. I am not worrying about tomorrow as it is not here and all I can do is deal with today.
I continue to do my physical work outs and have continued to develope my spiritual by meditation and that really has helped.
Well enough about me, hope you all have a great day and thank you all again for helping me along this journey.

Hi All!
Caper - Thanks for the kind words...yes, I know I could be doing so much more, but on the other hand it's sure nice to leave my job at 5 and not give it a second thought!

My nephew moved out last night. He went back home to his Mom. He can't afford his own place, so that's how it goes. I hope that game of Beer Pong was worth all of this! I have to admit I am a little sad looking at his empty room. But...I tried, for a whole year. He'll be fine.

JDG - Hope you're ok...talk to us if you feel like it ok?

Juja - GOOD JOB on TTDP!!! Way to go

WOW FT...has it really been five months??? I am so proud of you sweetie!!
I am better today. I pouted and hid and even hubs came to sit with me. I woke up determined to win and not let anyone or anything get the best of me. I had a "come to Jesus" meeting with my team this morning and told them there was a new sherrif in town and if they didn't like it, there was the door. NO LIE!
just back in from breaking up a fight.....racist issues

Hey K9 - letting the job go at 5pm has a lot of rewards to it as does the paid vacation, benefits, etc. I'm self employed and I don't own the business it owns me. The ability to walk away from it at a specific time and not have to deal with clients calling 7 days a week would be a Godsend.

Mama - unless you're an absolutely evil boss ( and I know you're not!) waving a finger and making demands is no way for a new assistant to communicate with a superior or anyone else for that matter. Glad you communicated who's boss to the team and really sorry you had to deal with some racist issue.

Hey Juja, it must be absolutely beautiful in Va right now! Hope everyone has a great day and congratulations FT on 5 months. That is exceptionally awesome!

Okay, K9... I guess it's all in what you want .. or want to settle for...

ended up being a good but CRAZY day
my assistant kept apologizing that she had upset me so much and that I need to let things go at 5 too...that will never happen. I am always thinking about work.
Big news in my house.....as some of you know my youngest, Clay, is quite the football player. We were able to get a full tuition refund for next year and three coaches are calling begging him to come play for their school his senior year. One of the schools is top notch and is constantly scouted by colleges...we are really excited. We should have done it his junior year, but all the coaches had not quit and we thought we had a good program. Since the footb all program is collapsing, we chose to move him where he may get a better chance of a full ride to college!!
so...I also had to break up a white and black fight.....I heard racial slurs screamed I had never heard before.....such is my job.
Roast is in the oven, so over and out!
