I am very HOT ... having to leave this group, unfortunately ...

Well, today at work, I got called to HR, to talk to the head person down there. I was scared to death. Wasnt sure WHY. But they asked me to change my surgery date .... after I've already had it for awhile, now and have been pretty excited, and told everyone!! This time of year is our busiest time of year (I work for a school textbook publisher) and they didnt want me to be gone for 2-3 weeks, or longer. We are short-handed as it is ..... so ..... me being the "too nice" person that I am, didnt want to make waves, and I gave in and cancelled my 8-26-04 appointment for surgery. Now my date is 10-6-04. So I wish you all the best!!!! Hope you do well, on the other side, and lose lots of weight!! Susan ...moving on to the October group ......

Susan-- I am so sorry to hear that you had to move your date. That is just the pits! Well, at least it wasn't cancelled only moved a little bit. I wish you all the best with your new date! We will miss you. Good luck! Joan

Thanks! ..and you are right ... only a little bit. I will miss everyone in here too, although I havent been around that long. Take care!

Susan, I just emailed you in regards to the above..I am so sorry for you.. I have been trying to watch our local school borad meetings.....recently it was brought up about the book issues. I am grateful that school children have such a caring person on their side...but please take care of you..so our society has a terrific person like you in the childrens corner.I would hope and pray you could go back to August. But, if you can't...dont cave in again. A very wise person once told nme that we have to be careful to take care of ourselves so as not to deplete oneslf. Thank you for your HARD job for kids. But, dont let them get you to change your date again. Mary

Susan: I am so sorry that you had to change your date. Your employer is so lucky to have someone like you. Good luck with your new date. Patty

Thanks!

Susan, Sorry about your date being changed...Good luck!!! Shay
