One Step at a Time - October 2015

[fennel]

Good morning, my peeps.

I think I'll go to a speaker meeting tonight...the speaker is one of the guys from my noon meeting who has been very kind to me, bringing me cassette (!) tapes on "Surviving Divorce", etc. He's a smart, funny guy.

Dark and cold here...

[fennel]

Mama, I know you'll land on your feet. Of course, your confidence was shaken- you didn't see this coming at all and you've been working your ass off! It would have been different if you'd been pulling a "Pennsatucky" for the last seven months.

I loved Brett's dream!

[NoraC]

Morning - yawn

Fen - I went to a fantastic speaker meeting once. She was someone that spoke all over the country. Anyway, very good. I hope you enjoy yours tonight. I told Casey that I would go to a speaker meeting with him tonight if he wanted. He didn't get back to me yet.

So - nerves are completely shot so I am taking an antabuse. Better safe than sorry.

Nora...:hug:

[mama bear]

Nora - is it court date today?
I'm in the blankie fort, but I have guns and hand grenades and swords if any zombies or bitchy bosses attack us
Well said, as usual Dr. Rusty! xo
I applied for another position today, and I know some peeps there......so we shall see.
Bret and I are adjusting to spending so much together....LOL
Fenny - I have been thinking about you so much...you too SK......divorce is gut wrenching.
Love you all
I cleaned like a crazy person today......energy starting to come back and the smacked upside the head shock of being fired is starting to wear off.......full blown rage kicking in......like Nora said....and that's a lot for Nora....BITCH!

[mama bear]

and the 30 year old she hired that has NO experience started yesterday....figure that one out....
Enjoy the speaker Fen....

[Rusty]

Good Afternoon, Friends!

I have been doing a combination of paperwork, housework, and personal stuff because I am at home!!!

Mama Dear-I knew you had an outstanding reputation in your field, and I am delighted that someone has offered you a job already. It's perfectly normal for your confidence to be smashed and for you to feel uncertain, but you will be just fine!!! I loved Papa Bear's dream....tee hee!!! I think I know why you were fired. You mentioned the 30-year-old with NO experience....it was the money, Silly!! I have always had this nagging feeling that this douche hired you at the salary you wanted and burned you out because there were projects/tasks that needed to get done that required an experienced person like yourself. She couldn't hire a temp with your experience, and she wasn't going to hire the 30-year-old Bubblehead because she could not possibly have accomplished what you did. Your ex-boss wanted someone young that she could "groom" not someone who was smarter than she was!!

I love the blankie Fort, Nora. GREAT job on taking the Antabuse!! Whoo whoo!!

Waves of hellos to everyone else.

[Dottie Belle]

I will be MIA for the weekend.
Have a great one!!

[fennel]

Have fun, Dottie!

[fennel]

I agree with Rusty, mama...your ex worked you like crazy, got her stuff done, then went for the "malleable" young twit. Trust me, she'll burn through that one, too.

Nora, keep us posted...is today Casey's court date? When is it?

[mama bear]

that's pretty much my summation....she wanted someone younger, cheaper and malleable......just like the girl I replaced.
Have fun Dottie!

[NoraC]

Hey all...I was just reading back and saw what I posted this morning. I got so busy at work that I completely forgot about taking the antabuse. osteroops: Anyway, I'm feeling much, much better but I got up and took the pill anyway. My mood has seemed to be up & down for the past week or two, so thought it would be a good idea.
Court is next Thursday (Nov 5) and I leave the next morning for Oregon. I think that I'll be sticking in the blankie fort until then. I'm very glad that we have grenades. lol

Mama - you make me laugh because you think I'm so sweet & innocent. :rotlf: Every time that I think about her I want to punch her. Actually, today when someone cut me off, I started thinking about that scene in 'Fried Green Tomatoes' when Kathy Bates rams her car into that young girls car. Ha, ha. Pretty good that you & Brett are managing to be home together all day.

Fen - I'm anxious to hear how the meeting went. I've only been to one speaker meeting and I just am curious how it usually is. One speaker, several, questions......

Rusty - enjoy being home.

[NoraC]

Pauly - how are you doing? I'll go over & look for you.

Dotts - Have a great weekend.

SK - are you feeling any better?

When is Liz going to be back? Was it tomorrow? I hope that she is having a wonderful time.

[paulywogg]

I've been sleeping in the blankie fort Nora good on taking the AB,better to be on the safe side,hello to all,ready for bed at 7 p.m haha

[NoraC]

Glad you are enjoying the blankie fort. We all have been needing it for sure. I am sure that Liz will know where to look for us when she gets back. :harhar:
