Good Morning. Not really

Spent another sleepless night worrying about this contract I'm on. Will they extend me or won't they? {sigh}  Just when things are getting somewhat interesting too. Dang it! I hate this part of my job.

Jody, I may take you up up on giving my resume to your project lead.

Sorry this is so off topic, can't think of anything else this morning.

What's on your to-do list today?

Big hugs to you Gina!

So sorry you are having to deal with this kind of stress, the uncertainty has to be awful! Never hurts to put yourself out there and see whats available.

The usual here, catch up on some bills, housework and run to the store. Going to have lunch with my friend today.

So sorry work is so stressful, Gina.  Today is going to be another mommy day, fun filled with my 2 and 5 year olds.

 Gina, I am so sorry you have that stress at work.  My clinic got bought out by the medical group at the hospital and we could have been let go.  The next year we got bought by the hospital itself and there was talk of reducing staff.  I lived for 2 years worried that tomorrow I would be let go.  I know how stressful it is.  I still worry a little bit, but less so as time goes by.

I did not go to the gym today.  I was so exhausted yesterday.  We have yet another busy day today and I have class tonight.  So I skipped it.  I am only 3 weeks out from surgery.  I thought I would give myself a break.  I did get up a little early and did my homework for my class tonight though.

I have found the more I "mature" the more stress impacts my sleep. I feel tor you!

DH has taught me to "verbalize" the worst case scenerio. We talk through what happens if... if I lose my job what is the worst consequence? Because we both work and we are both AF retired, our worst case is usually a significant life style change. We won't lose our house or have to eat cat food. We are very lucky. The other piece is how will I feel. I'm pretty driven. While I enjoy downtime, I'm not good at being at loose ends. We have to talk through the emotional impact. It really is about preparing him for me going off the emotional deep end. I'm normally fairly even-keeled. When things get stressful, I get more emotional, and he has to figure out how to deal with me.

I feel like I have turned a corner with my PS healing. I'm feeling and sleeping better. My goal today is to go for a walk outside. It has to get a little warmer before I will adventure out.

Oh Gina, I so relate to your stress.  My company was bought out last April.  I decided to not worry about what would happen because I just couldn't control it.  When I was in Mexico having my plastic surgery, I got an email to call the office so I Skyped in.  All it took was a 10 minute phone call.  Thank you for your 18 years of senior management building this company, we're closing your office in five days.  That was 5 days before Christmas, 35 people gone.  I lost my health coverage on December 31st which was scarey after just having multiple surgical procedures.  Zach came home and played with me and distracted me for 10 days when I got home.  We pretended we were on vacation and somehow I'm still pretending that! 

61 years old, never a day of disability or unemployment.  I'm looking forward to that first check.  It won't cover the mortgage but thankfully I've saved a bit.  My COBRA is in place and I'll just see what happens.  There's not any positions available for financial compliance officers.  *sigh*

I just keep saying over and over... Everything always works out for me, everything always works out for me. Maybe someone will call and offer me a job. I haven't had a resume in over 30 years.

So for today I'm going down to the ocean to play with my new beau which should be great fun!

 Aww Lee !   (((())))))   Im so glad you're taking this  in stride .   New beau ! yay !  let HIm take care of you   

 Hi Gina!
My plans today after I did 2 mandatory conference calls this morning...I came home to rest for the rest of the day, I went to the Dr. yesterday afternoon and I have a sinus infection and bronchitis! UGH
So I'm trying to kick it since I've actually been fighting this for 2 weeks :(
Sorry to hear about your job situation! May God bring you something amazing!

Oh Gina I feel so bad for you.  I hope everything works out and they renew your contract.  Is there a deadline that they have to tell you by?

I remember how depressed I was when I first heard I was going to lose my job after 18 years and I wouldn't wish that on anyone.  Love my new job but they pay isn't the greatest.

Nothing major on my to-do list.
