    One Step at a Time - April 2014

    I know there are nightmare stories out there about discrimination against pregnant women...but Mrs. Fen went through hell with an employee five years ago. This woman was so lovely...she was the secretary for Mrs. Fen's business. She got pregnant, but declared to Mrs. Fen that she would return to her job after her maternity leave was finished.

    Mrs. Fen took her at her word. Employee took her six week maternity leave, and promptly quit. Mrs. Fen is a "small business" employer. By law, she is not required to cover medical expenses, as she has way less than fifty employees...she does so, because she is a good person. She covered the employee's maternity leave costs and got screwed in the end.
    We've had a couple of long time employees sue us. Claiming injury on the job, etc. Both of them were completely false. One had a knee injury from a car accident in her youth and had problems since then. The other one claimed back injury and carpal tunnel. Unbelievable that this happened. This is a small family owned business. As much as I complain, they do treat employees as family. I know they would do anything for me.
    Then we had another couple of short term (a couple of years) employees sue. Ridiculous stuff but the problem is that the insurance company settles which makes our rates go up. Whoops - sorry, didn't mean to go off on a rant.

            Thanks, Dottie and and Nora...
            Some people only know how to milk the system. I fear that Bri is one of those. I personally worked with a person who tore her rotator cuff at home, but claimed it was at work. She took a trip to England on the benefits she received. So not okay.

            Mrs. Fen hires guys mostly, these days. Can't blame her.

              Mama what was up with Bris teeth? Is she a meth head...? Sorry that sound bad- too much breaking bad! And I agree with Fen- 7 appointments...what...that's like ...one every other day... and she's made baby daddy birthday plans while she's in a work day...??? I say pull a Nancy Reagan and JUST SAY NO!!

              FEN, bless you for working with the ag- ed P's . I found this video tonight while I was looking for something else. I though of you. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g0sihX98mAw

              K9 hang tight. If it were easy, any could do it. :l

              Dottie I have had lots of luck drinking a full juiced lemon every morning in room temp water. So far so good...fingers crossed and hugs to you.

              Where's Liz and Allswell? Not to mention Bastet ( I keep asking and no ones talking....) also..where is Getting?? WE ARE MISSING YOU GUYS! You too Tony...

              Heading to bed.

                  Morning peeps. I love you all so much. Reading about your episodes with psychosis me feel better. I'll post more at work. Today I am going to focus on the positives on life and try to not let her bother me.
                  No Kradle, she's not a meth head. She had messed up teeth and pregnancy has aggravated them.
                  she is still smoking pot while pregnant however. That disgusts me
                  Bacinabit
                  And NO Fenny, you are justified in your shift requests. That's tough work mentally and physically. Plus, don't be a doormat like me. Establish from the start what you can and can't do and then there are no issues later.
                  Bri is not taking a work day to celebrate her baby daddy's birthday. It's her day off, and that is when I suggested she go get lab work done, instead of during the week
                  I love my family more than alcohol.:h

                    Kradle, what a sweet video...thanks for posting it.

                    You know, I haven't seen Bastet in ages. No idea what happened to her.

                    I sent a text in to work this morning explaining that I do not want shifts over eight hours. I received a reply immediately from the social worker, saying she would pass the info on to the schedulers. She actually visited dear client at the same time I did for our meet and greet, so she saw for herself how ill the poor woman was.

                    Mama, I hope the day goes quickly, with no absences or other interruptions.

                        Good morning. Just a quick check in. I having been reading but not posting too frequently. I'm so consumed with the wedding in 22 days. I swear I wasn't this busy for mine. This week I'll be washing windows and curtains and start spring cleaning to get the house in order for the pictures. I'm excited but I'm sad too! So many emotions. Hope you guys are all doing ok. I'm trying to savor everyday while I still have all my little ones here at home with me, happy Thursday all.

                          I will be out inspecting most of the day....need to be away from office and Bri.....
                          I even dragged Clay in today to help get stuff done...I am paying him, so he is thrilled!!
                          I am proud of you Fenny.....let them know from the start what you can and can't do.....
                          notice I said "can" and not "will"...that would be Bri language!!!
                          Thanks for always being there!!

                              Hi Lizann...I hope things are going smoothly.

                              Mama, I'm glad you get a break from Bri today. Does Clay have the day off from school?
