OMG !! EDITED ** MUST READ***

As many of you all know -  I work all the time.....3 jobs...............the past 2 months I've been thinking about resigning from my 3rd job - ...................I'm really having a hard time on this decision because I really LOVE the job..........most can't say that - but I love ALL of my jobs and my co-workers are such great inspiration to keep me going.............weight loss and all !!!

I just wrote a resignation letter to Wells Fargo and just emailed it to my boss....making 5-31-09 my last weekend / day to work there ................I really expect a call anytime...........

BUT  in reality - with a new love relationship and the feeling that my weight loss is suffering.....I think that this is the best thing......although I'll miss that extra $150 every 2 weeks that I was getting too................that allowed me to do so much more playing, eating out (which isn't good either) and just getting to go here and there much much more.....................

(((Huggss))))))))))

*** EDITED ***   I just got that call I was expecting from the boss.   HE IS NOT GOING TO TERMINATE ME...............considers me an asset to the company when I am there and just told me to take my time, think about it.........since I'm considered flex time I need to do what I need to do but he was NOT going to terminate me.    Scale back as much as needed but when and if I can come in -  come on in.................WOW !!      Wants me to stay on and just work whenever I can.  I told him that I didn't think that it was fair because sometimes I get in  - want to leave 2 hours into the day.   Told me that when I'm there - I key the equivalent of 2 people !!  lol

Phyllis, good for you!!  We often forget to put ourselves FIRST and sometimes we need to do that.  You deserve a little more time to hang out with james (and us).  Kudos, enjoy your new found freedom.

Put yourself and your happiness comes first. No need to kill yourself for nothing. Just enjoy the ride. Everything happens fr a reason.

 New love relationship???    

   btw, what did you do at WF, Phyllis?     Wasn't another TMBer looking for bank work some time ago?    Maybe you could refer her for the position, if she's still interested ..

Paul:  I work in what they call "lockbox" department.  I do data entry and I love it !!  They pretty much work 7 days a week; however are closed for SOME holidays and Memorial Day being one of them !!     as well as other holidays.

I got told that they were NOT going to terminate me, but since I'm flex - I can come and work as I can or want to.............whichi s good - because during the winter months........when nothing else better to do..............is work !!  lol     

Anyway...........he told me that I could take off as much as needed, work on "me" but he wants me to stay on.......     I guess when you are a good employee (not to burst my bubble here, ) management will most likely work with you instead of against you and NOT all are like that always.

  Yes, Phyllis   That sounds like a "valuable employer" (i.e. one *****alizes how valuable a good employee, like you, is)         I would say definitely stay in good with them ..  Tthey are not one bridge you want to burn behind you!

Good for you!  Change can be hard even when it's all for the better. 

Good luck with everything and especially the love.

Good for you Phyllis, I know the money always comes in handy but you have a LIFE now, working is good for the mind and money but living and enjoying life now is so important.  Glad you were able to give it up, enjoy your extra time to have fun.

It is one thing to be needed.  It is another to be wanted.

Congrats.  Work what you want.  I do.



GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
