Menus and Miles Tuesday Sept. 15th

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!!   AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!!  THEY ARE ADDICTING!!  THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!!  THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.

Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD  CHOICES  during the Honeymoon Period.

I feel I need to repeat this:  I am a FIRM believer in Good Whey Protein Drinks!!!!!  I have IC (Irritable Bladder Syndrome) and I can only have them while I'm not having a flare up.   It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!

Late..Late...Late Tuesday.  Since my Manager is retiring at the end of the month she spent the day cleaning files and passing things on to me. Nothing's been said but I'm guessing they aren't hiring any one new.  I hope that means raises for the rest of us after our PA Budget is passed.

Good Luck is what I need!!  Please swing some critters for me Gina!  I'm hoping they don't hire anyone because I would NOT be a good Manager.  My Manager had no problem turning ALL of her work over to me and just checking everything.  She does crossword puzzles and play games on the computer practically the whole day.  I on the other hand would be very selfish and not want to hand my work over.  I like things done a certain way (can't wait until she leaves so I can do things my way) and it would drive me crazy not being busy.

Sounds Good Gina!!!

Maybe they will leave that position vacant or may they will promote from within and leave the resulting position vacant.... Who can know what the powers that be are thinking, but it will sure keep you up at night. 

I hope he leaves it vacant.  There really is no reason to fill her position.  She did it for years without anyone and I never did figure out why they hired me to do everything while she sat there. She is a complainer so maybe that's why. We are a very small office so there isn't anyone to promote. We all have a specific job and he would never want to retrain someone for their position.   I'm hoping the Director just lets me do my job and helps me if I get in a bind.  He has been asking me a lot of questions about billing etc. so hopefully that's the plan. Until she officially retires he would never discuss it.  When the receptionist (80+years old...feisty woman) passed away he distributed her pay among us. There is another lady and I who usually get to the door first.  If he hires anyone I wi**** would be a Receptionist.  It's hard to start and stop your work all day long.
