    Everybody, I am sorry!

    I'm sorry for not replying to threads and sharing your joys, troubles and stories of late.

    I was losing my job but managed to be redeployed, but my new boss wanted a male for the job (charming ), there's a lot of politics and I have to work twice as hard just to hope to prove half as worthy after my probation period ends in a couple of months.

    The sexist pig also has a habit of screaming at me on Wednesdays for some reason, so tomorrow is going to be a charming day indeed. He says I don't control my staff enough. I don't do 'control' so it's slightly awkward

    I also took on a full time university subject load as I could take some study leave during my redeployment, but now I'm back full time, I barely have time to scratch myself in the stress to pass all the units.

    Oh, and my work computer faces a photocopier and the back of the dooryway so everyone can see what's on my screen.

    Soooo ... please don't think I'm ignoring you.

    I'll be on e-m or PM if you wanna say hi. Hope to be somewhat normal soon

    Good luck in your new position! I know you can do it! Is there some sort of monitor screen you can apply? I know they make them so that YOU can see the screen from sitting in your chair, but anyone a few feet away will only see a greyed out screen. They were devoloped for patient privacy in hospitals, but would work in your case too!

    Here's a link to what I'm talking about.

    Nicole it's so good to hear from you. I know all these unemployment issues ( there has been a serious danger last year, now it's temporarily settled but with ecomomies staying low here it can happen any time next year--or not, you learn to live in a less stable situation) and I also would put high priorities on keeping my job.

    I am sure what you do is at least as good as any man could do and I will send some special well-wishing from inside my heart to your boss (didn't I put that pretty nice ).

    We believe in you and will be happy to have you back with more time whenever you get out of the worst trouble.

    I'm sorry to hear about your work troubles. I haven't been around either because of my workload and stress. I took a vacation day today so that is the reason I am checking out PT!

    I think it's time to start playing the lottery!

    Don't be afraid that your life will end. Be afraid that it will never begin.

    So sorry you're having trouble. Isn't there anything you can do about the way your boss treats you? How about contacting the EEOC? It is unprofessional and shouldn't be allowed. You are not a door mat and shouldn't be treated like one. I hope things get better.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    What I want to know is why my unlisted home telephone number is plastered all over Australia and underneath it says:

    FOR A GOOD TIME CALL...........................

    Seriously, I don't envy your task.........having to doubly prove that you can do a job.

    There is a joke going around about having fleas in a strategic area and arms that aren't long enough..................

    It makes me think of your boss

    I'm sorry everything is going bad for you. I completely understand, as I have not been much in the mood for replying myself lately, and I have no where near the troubles you do. I hope things take a turn for the better though! *Hugs*

    -thank you Poppy for the avatar.


    R.I.P. Hanson. You will never be forgotten, and we await the day to see you once again. The imprint you left on my heart will never fade - your big beautiful brown eyes, your big soggy kisses...
