Topic: OT- Job situation
I got a call Wednesday morning to interview for a position. We met Wednesday afternoon.
She said she needed to interview others as well and would be getting back to me if I was one of the candidates.
The interview went great...she's awesome and I really wanted the job. It sounds like it's right up my alley and something I'd enjoy.
I got a call yesterday morning.....offering me the position!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited! She said she called her boss right after our interview and said she wanted to hire me and to wave her magic wand. *S* That made me feel SOOOOOOOOO good!
So, my first interview, I got a job. Must do something right!
Thanks everyone for all your prayers and support and thank you Jesus!

It's a lateral move, so I will be making less but only because I won't get overtime pay and since I worked 60-80 hours a week in my job now, it'll be less. But....I won't have the extreme amount of OT and will be making about the same thing hourly if you figure out. Might even start to have a life....hmmmm!

Thanks Pam. I appreciate your honesty. Do you feel that you get a rush or an adrenaline boost from it? Is that the part we are addicted to? And is everything that we get a rush from considered an addiction? How do we differentiate between them?

I am an online game addict. Most are free, but some are "gambling related". I allow myself $20.00 per pay to "play" my games.

Well I hope they can help you with that soon, and you will drop a load once they get you back on your meds! Good Luck!

I don't think I have a transfer addiction, but hey you never know. I may be in denial just as I was about how fat I was.

Hi Belinda, Luckily I have not transferred to anything else. But like Pam said we are here to support one another and if you need to talk don't hesitate to send a personal message or post and definately talk to someone professional as well.

First of all.....WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You look FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Secondly, transfer addictions are VERY common and so far, I've
been lucky and don't have one. I didn't drink or smoke before surgery,
well, quit smoking 3 mos before. Have kids that spend my money for me,
so don't have a shopping or gambling addiction. *S* And....I really work
too much to have time to think about anything else. Oh yeah and I've heard
of becoming a sex addict as well....don't have to worry about that one either.
If you are having issues, do see a counselor. It's better to get things taken
care of right when you realize it's happening. Definately nothing to be ashamed
of, it is common. If there is someone with transfer issues, they should try to get
with a counselor that is trained or knowlegeable in Weight Loss Surgery issues.
You take care of you and remember....this is what the board is for. We are
here to support each other and learn from each other. Don't be afraid to
say what's going on. I really don't think anyone on here is going to judge.
