What's new Wednesday?
Hi my OFF family:
My knee is killing me tonight, so that's not new. I'm sitting here at work waiting for copy ... still not new. I'm bored ... not new again.
Oh well, something must be new somewhere. Oh wait, my coworkers are taking me out to lunch on Friday. That's new. How nice. And I talked to Brenda yesterday afternoon. She says hi and her computer isn't doing well ... I think she got the blue screen of death. She is doing OK and is feeling better, having fun with Kayden now that he is crawling and using the walker and getting into all sorts of mischief. Everything is his toy.
Well, maybe now I have a story to finish out my page. Everyone have a good day, and I'll check in later, after I get up.

Hi Eileen and George, and all those yet to post,
Today I go to work at the food pantry. Then I have avon to deliver. I am glad it is not snowing. I hate to drive on these country roads when it snows. It is freezing cold though.
Still haven't heard anything about my husbands job. I think the company is not telling them, even though the rumour is out because they don't want them to quit and look for another job. Sounds about right, doesn't it?
Last night I went to bed early so I wouldn't snack and got on the scale this morning and lost another pound. Each pound I fight for anymore.
One of my dogs is afraid of beeping noises and for the past few days there is some kind of high pitched noise, faint but you can hear it Outside. Well, my dog won't go outside. I have to drag him to the door and he weighs over 100 lbs. He is scared to death of anything beeping. Except the microwave. I just don't get it. I have had to stop watching my favorite ER programs on Discovery because he gets so horrified over the beeping machines. He tries to crawl in my lap and is panting the whole time. I think I am going to have to put him on Xanax or valium. Strange what are animals do.
Talked to my son and he is still looking for a job. There is really nothing out here but he is still looking. Not having a car really limits him.
Well..... Like my mom said all the time "this too shall pass"
Hanging in there hope everyone is doing great.
Sorry Eileen about your knee and losing your job. Don't we all carry enough stress already? It seems like so many of us have something going on in our lives.
Prayers to all

I am on my way. What a ride it has been.

I live by two phrases: "this too shall pass" and variations of "that which does not kill us only makes us stronger". It really helps in the rough times! I think you're right on about your husband's company. That's the way they think--they don't want people leaving so they leave everyone dangling as long as possible. :P
It sure is hard to tell that the economy is recovering. I hope there is some good news in the job market soon. My husband has been looking for a couple of months and can't find anything. He applied for a job he was totally qualified for last week, and I was sure that he would at least get an interview - but nothing. He's not even gotten one interview in the two months he's been looking. I still feel like my job is precarious because even though it is working well for everyone involved, it is not an "essential" position - so when they look at budget cuts in a few months I feel very vulnerable.
But for now, it's off to work this morning. Nothing else going on here - weeks just sort of all run together for me. Nothing new and exciting until the kids come home from college for spring break.

Hi Jane,
I feel for your husband about finding a job. Mine is looking also. He was an auditor for the government for 38 years and retired in 05. He still is looking. We moved to Florida 2 and 1/2 years ago and was just living on our pension. He is bored out of his mind. You can only go fishing a few times a week and that gets old too....I finally did find a per diem job at a hospital in Bradenton. But things are looking up with me working.

Morning Eileen and my OFFer's
Eileen, I'm so happy to hear you spoke to Brenda. I miss her here, and I'm glad she's doing well and enjoying little Kayden.
Not much going on here, especially at work. I'll make $40 today...whooHoo. I don't know who's economy is getting better, it sure isn't mine! I'l only be there about 2 hours today, so I'll probably be back around later on.
Hope everyone has a great day, off to do the What are you eating thread.

good morning to everyone
so much sadness amongst us as a group. i wish everyone good health
and job security. my younger son has been unemployed going on seven
months now, so i feel for all of you.
i have nothing good to report, now they put bob in a nursing home to get
intensive physical and occupational therapy. im not sure if i like the one they
were able to get a bed at, but we shall see. im scared and tired and feel
so overwhelmed. this weekend i have to figure out how bob keeps his finances,
everything he does is always complicated. im hoping my older son can come out
and help me, a second pair of eyes would be useful
it snowed last night, but doesnt look like much so i guess i will put on my big
girl panties and drive a little later this morning. i no like the snow.
hugs to everyone, have a safe day

Good morning all..
Well we had some snow last night...doesn't look too bad. School is on a one hour delay...that means drive careful and we hope the roads improve. Ah well..I have a new student in school that I have yet to meet. I guess she started while I was recouping from parathyroid surgery. So I'll meet her and her parents today. She comes to school with her interpreter (she uses sign language) and I guess is just a sweet heart.
My surgery for the incisional hernia is scheduled for Feb. 12th. I'm really sick of drs. and surgeries. However, I spent Monday night at the ER with this one hurting like hell. They gave me a pain med. shot and sent me home...I was driving!!! Can you believe that...dope me up and then watch me drive away. I thought that was CRAZY and I was not too happy about it. I got to the ER at 8:30 and they sent me home..loopy...at 3am. I finally got into bed about 4:30 or so. I'm tired.
Well everyone have a good day...
(((HUGS)))) and prayers to those in need.
