Hope you had fun at the park today!
On any given day, you are never far from my thoughts Robin. Sending some {{{hugs}}} to help you through this day.
Warm hugs and thoughts being sent from PA!
Thank you so much. This means a lot to me.
I have been having a difficult time lately. Kind of heading backwards in the wrong direction. I'm trying to work my way through it though. The weather has been so pretty the past couple of days and I was finally able to motivate myself to get out and enjoy some sunshine.
Thanks again for all of your support.
Just Follow the Dawgs ~~~ They'll lead you in the right direction!Quote:

Hi, Robin - that little thingy I sent should be in your mailbox any day!
Listen - you made such HUGE strides recently...going backwards is just getting ready to take a go at the NEXT round of good stuff! ;)
I hope you still have your professional support too!
Did you ever start up that training course you mentioned way back?
HUGS HUGS HUGS! :D

I'm still getting the professional help but not as often as I would like I had to cut back on my sessions because it was just costing me too much money. I do have an appt coming up with the psychiatrist and then another with my therapist at the end of this month.
I had an interview with the vocational rehab counselor and things sounded so good and she was supposed to call me but I never did hear a word. For some reason I just can't bring myself to call her. I've sent out a few resumes and got one rejection letter and haven't heard from the other two. I also applied online for various jobs out at the hospital and have already received another big NO but hoping one of the other two will pay off. I need to get some kind of computer classes. I'm lackingin that dept. and I notice that everyone wants that.
Thanks again for all the support!
If your GP refers you to a psychiatrist, can it not be 'covered'? Would Medicaid help?
I don't know if there is a 12 step group for separated people, but you could try. Or, there is Emotions Anonymous. No fees, they pass the hat, it's voluntary.
HUGS!
Sorry I haven't been around much lately, but know that I'm always keeping you in my thoughts! Good luck with finding a job, I'm sure that you will. Did you have a nice time taking the dogs to the park? Any pictures? :)
Robyn,
What type of computer skills are you "lacking"? Part of the work I do, I write on-line learning courses - for many things, and am happy to send you some if you like.
Chin up darlin, and do what Phred said - follow the dogs :-)
It seems like everywhere I turn they want you to have experience with Microsoft Word, Excel, Lotus Point or whatever it is that they might be using. I have no training with these programs at all. I don't know anything about them. Our local vocational school offers a course on all of these programs but of course it doesn't start again until the fall.Quote:

Yes, I did have a good time. I even went back today and met Anna there. Hanging out with all the dogs and Anna is always good. I'm sure I'll be posting tons of pics a bit later in dog general. :) ;)
Robilee - captain offered to send you some courses that she develops on this stuff! :)
Microsoft has great online tutorials - free - on their Office products. I have used these and they are excellent, and at a beginner's level too!
Just use these to watch and listen for now. That's all - one at a time. There is a big list at these links, but just use the first one. Excel you might want to view the second one too.
WORD
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...958171033.aspx
EXCEL
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...831141033.aspx
POWERPOINT
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...832731033.aspx
ACCESS is the database that the Office suite uses. Some places use it, others don't.
LOTUS NOTES - if memory serves, this is a type of 'word' program. Get used to Microsoft Word first...then a lot of that can transfer over to other programs.
If you are too curious to wait, ;) you can bookmark this one too, and just watch the show!
http://www.sperd.net/trc/lotustraining/
Like I say, don't think about 'learning' at the moment - just click and watch.
Then find a high school student, feed him/her pizza, and have them over to show you in person! ;)
In Canton, there's a place called Superior Staffing, which is an employment agency that offers free tutorials in all those programs. I'm not sure if they have other offices near you but, if not, you might want to check the employment agencies in your area. All you have to do is reserve a computer and the the tutorials walk you through it. Might want to give it a whirl. :)Quote:

Robin, you can PM me if you like and I can tell you alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll about it.
Take care
Michelle
I to was going to suggest inquiring at a temporary staffing agency. That might also be a good way to find a permanent job that suits you.
I use Word Perfect and Quick Books and didn't have any training but just plodded through the learning curve by doing it. Probably not the quickest way to learn but these particular programs were very user friendly and if I can figure them out, well anybody can.
Still thinking of you all the time! One day we'll have to catch eachother on AIM and chat. That surprise I was talking about is on it's way. ;)
I'm glad you had a good day at the park. :)
Those hurdles stink, but I know you'll make it over them. *HUGS*
Sending you some Friday {{{hugs}}} Robin.
I don't about down there, but up here if you want to join the work force and don't have the skills or want to upgrade your skills, the government will pay for you to take courses. You may want to talk to your local Unemployment office and see what they say. Of course, afterwards they will be on your back to make sure you are looking for work but isn't that the goal anyway???
Hey Robin,
I know this thread hasn't been bumped up for awhile, but I just wanted to know how you've been doing? Your last post was last month. (((hugs))) and I am still thinking of you! :)
We all think about you and how you are getting along, Robin! Hope you had a good 4th of July weekend with those 3 furry kids of yours!
Just wanted to add my continued best wishes to the rest of the gangs!
Love ya Robin!! :love:
