I don't blog about it, because I don't care to get fired from my job but, over the past week-end our CEO was ousted.
Our stock has been failing dismally....... change is in the air at Crying Cow Bank.
I just hate the tension, the feeling of "when is the other shoe going to drop".
Just lay me off, give me my severance and i'm out of there.
I'll be glad to go to school full time and collect unemployment.
We can get by.
What I AM worried about is the company folding and me NOT getting my severance pay. That would be very very un-cool.
I hate worrying about crap I have no control over and it does me no good to tell myself NOT to worry... cos' i'm gonna worry.
Even subconsciously. I wake up three or four times during the night. Blah. Hate it. Anyhoo send good thoughts. For me, for my girl Cheeky, who is undergoing some tough times personally, for Shell in Houston who may be in for a week-end visitor in the form of Ike. Just pray for everyone...
AND last but not least, big thanks to my girl Bella for the cool signature she made for me! I love-love-love it~! Thank You!
P.S. I "failed" the test (well made a 79) but she's allowing a do-ver and I WILL make 100!
The signature is perfect for you ! Very elegant and pretty :) Belle did a great job.
Will hope on spades that you get your severance pay... and that another job shows up within the next 6 months that pays better and that you like more and where they are nicer.
Will pray for Cheeky, and also that Ike softens and is just a rain-storm...
79 is very close to 100. You'll do it. Practice makes perfect !
Prayers are needed all around it seems. Thanks for looking out of me.
Try a little reverse psychology on yourself. COnvince yourself to BE WORRIED! and you'll sleep like a kitten.
Hey, it helps me live in my little world, okay?
Dang girl...you are usually dishing it out or up-beat...I hate it when you sound so down...
Yes...try not to worry...I know that doesn't help..only thing I do know is things happen for a reason...so if that helps, just know that something better is coming your way:)
You all are in my thoughts and prayers!
Oh...I want one of those signatures:)
As tough as the uncertainty is...know everything happens for a reason and you're on a journey...(I'm trying to keep reminding myself of that, as I am going through a difficult journey myself). Hope and pray it all works out in the best possible way for you.
Good luck on your Do-over test...
I used to type my notes and take them everywhere I went...and just read-and re-read anytime I had 5 minutes...or record them on a small tape recorder and listen to them on headphones while I cleaned and slept LOL. It helps, believe it or not!
Have a great rest of your week. Think positive! You're blessed in so many ways!
Big hug for you sweetie. Everyone has the same fears you do. Even at my job I feel the same way. Just remind yourself God will never give you more than you can handle... You're one tough lady! I like your signature thingy very nice. About your test hell I would be flunkin out then cause my grades were usually 67-75 in my classes except my major then I would get high grades in those.
Gee, if only there was some way to squirrel away some cash from your work. Money. From a bank.
Well, I'm drawing a blank. Maybe you can just steal a lot of pens.
Everybody seems to have the same concerns these days. My wife lost her job back in April and we have managed to get by just fine. She decided to take the summer off and it has been great.
Of course now summer is almost over and it is time for her to go back to work.
Im pullin 4 u..
Patti: I've been there a couple of times. Find a first-class resume writer and start marketing yourself. You have much to offer. BTW: The Signature is cool and so is THE MONOGRAM QUEEN! :D)
Thinking of you during what has got to be a trying time for you. Here's to deep sleeps and promotions. That sugnature looks like a CEO's signature. Definitely not a doctor's signature. It's too readable. ;-)
I understand the issues about life changing events over which we have no control. That is *always* the pits. I'm sorry you have to be in that position, especially one as big as this. You know you've got good thoughts coming from the Southwest. :)
And the test .... don't sweat it. It is quite common for the first test in any class to be below par. There is a learning curve with a new instructor, learning how he/she words questions, expects from the student, etc. And many of them realize this, hence the do-over. Yeah, you'll do fine! Good luck, anyway!
BTW, re: the silver lining. there is one, although you can't see it yet. I believe all things have a purpose, and one day you will look back and say, "Now I get it!" or "I'm glad I experienced that, because now (fill in the blank)." It all has purpose, and it always makes us stretch and grow. Ride it out. You'll be fine, Patti!
Sending good thoughts your way! ((HUGS))
Loving Annie- Thank you, you can always be counted on for an uplifting word!!!
Cheeky- You know i've got your back and a place to stay if you ever need it.
Pat- Welllll it "might" work
Chelle- I'm sorry i'm a debbie downer today! Maybe if I were, ahem, at the Beach.....
Retro Girl- My problems aren't really problems yet and I need to put them in proper perspective. It was silly things I missed, things I KNOW. Grrrrr....
Man- You and Retro are absolutely right. I am blessed and God never gives us more than we can handle.
Thank You!
Grant- I think the bigger fish already made away with too much cash - part of the problem!
Mike- Right, I know i'm not the only one with that exact worry and more people are much worse off than I. I need to remember that!
SFG- A pain in EVERYTHING!!!
FFM- Thanks Hon, that means a LOT! Being that you are super cool and all!
Michael - Thank you honey, you rock!
AFOD- Thank you! If I could just get past the sleep issues it wouldn't be so bad! :)
Lynilu- I am fully prepared to ride it out. You know i'm resilient even when I think i'm not. I am just SO glad i'm in school. So so glad! Thank You!!!
loads of luck in the IRL problem.
Dont worry be happy.
I seriously doubt there is any chance of the bank just folding. I looked up some articles on the bank with the most recent CEO firing and it looks like just one more bank that will eventually be bought out and taken over.
K' my thoughts are with everybody.
What's funny is they just built
a Crying Cow. Or at least that's
what it said on the sign in front
of it.
You'll make a 100! I know it too!
HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck on the re-test!
Glad you like the siggy.
BABE! You WILL be fine. You are one smart, sassy and absolutely FABULOUS lady. And that ole place is just a stopping over spot for you anyway. You are on your way to being one helluva teacher. And don't let that place ruin your fun in school. You will find your groove in studying....you have one, it'll just take a while to find it again, and MAKE THAT 100! I know you can do it, YOU WILL DO IT. If you need help in your studying...just call on me. We will get on Meebo and study, study, study.
The signaure is all you girl. Sassy and classy.
Good luck on your do over!
Doo Dah- Doing my best!
BTE- Thanks for looking into it my friend! :)
Laurie- I sure mean to make a 100!
Bella- Thanks and I really do!
Andie- Thank you so much for those kind words sweetie!
Wendy- Do-overs are the best!!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH! I hope I didn't say too much in my last comment. You know me, I try to be as discreet as possible. There is a lot of drama at Big Bookstore as well. I don't think company wide, just our Big Bookstore that the Seagull has managed to destroy the morale of all its employees. He has had it in for us since he started with the company.
That's what happened to me last May- the organization I worked for folded. It's not a good situation. I still have a child to take care of, with no spouse and no child support.
Don't even think about it unless, heaven forbid, it really happens! You'll have plenty of time for sleepless nights then!
Hugs,
Betty
Worrying blows big time. I worry a lot and try hard to avoid it. I remember when Papa Smurf got covered in warts, and turned into a worry-wart, for worrying too much in an episode of the Smurfs. I have a hard time not worrying about everything in the entire world.
Love the signature. It's classy, fancy, and fun.
Don't think of the BS at work just do your job.
If the axe comes just spread your wings and scream "YES, SET ME FREE YOU BASTARDS"!!!!!
Stuff like that scares me too. I know if I get fired or layed off, there's no severance pay for me at all...and I'm not bragging but I make a whole lot more money than The PK does. If I lose my job, we are SO screwed.
Daisy- You were fine and I completely understand about the hated Seagull.
Betty- You are absolutely right! My heart and prayers go out to you honey. Truly.
Martini- I MUST remember that about Papa Smurf. I don't look good in warts! Thanks sweetie!
Walker- Bwaaa haaaa and here they come with the strait jacket! ;)
Stacy PQ- Well Stacy still makes more than me but I need severance as a cushion, ya know? Good thoughts, good thoughts....
So sorry about your work. I get it. Hope it works out for you. Hang in there with school test. I'm not good at testing but doesn't mean I'm not a bright cookie.
Go away Ike! Away...far away...I hear Mexico needs some rain!
Cheeky just needs a gun in my opinion. ;-)
And Bella needs a rich man...
Your signature is neat!!!
I was up during the night watching the hurricane news. It's been on all day on the Weather Channel here. I just did a post about a former neighbor's son who lives in Houston. He and his wife are in PA now with their folks. I phoned and he answered! I was so surprised! Anyhow, they lost some fencing and their pool overflowed is all, he said. I was worried over him and his family. So many weren't as fortunate as he was, though.
(((((( HUGS ))))))
