Some thoughts... (and "special bond" pics)

[Kirsten]

Thanks everyone, but it looks like there's no happy ending here. Things have gone from bad to worse today; the way I've been treated was so humiliating, and now I'm sitting here at home and I think I'm going mad. I cannot breathe anymore, I'm totally paralized.

Kirsten, I'm so sorry you're going through such a rough time. Have you looked around for another job....even if it's part time to start? I know it's hard to be positive when things are looking so bleak, but I know that hard times are always followed by the proverbial rainbow....if we can just make it through those hard times to see it. {{{hugs}}}

iF YOU CAN GET SOMEONE TO TESTIFY ON YOUR BEHALF, THEN MAYBE YOU COULD LEAVE AND COLLECT DAMAGES.
THERES NO WAY THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE TO TAKE THAT NONSESNSE.
THE CATS AND I ARE PRAYING FOR YOU KIRSTEN, TO FIND A PLACE WHERE THEY WILL SHOW YOU SOME RESPECT.

Thanks!

Gary, your mother must have been a wise and wonderful person!

Oh Kristen! I'm so sorry that things at work are not going well for you, hopefully it will pass quickly.

Hi Kirsten,
You have many friends here being with you

I can only offer you long distance hugs, and tell you that I have always found you to be such a strong, positive, and caring person. I **need** to believe that somehow, you will come through this. You have so much talent, so much love to share, and it has got to shine through. Kirsten, I am holding you tight in my prayers. If there is ANYTHING I can do, as lame as that sounds, please let me know.

Fondly,
Johanna

I'm so very sorry to hear that things just aren't going in your favor right now especially at work. I've lost track of how many times people have said to leave work problems at the office and don't bring them home. Right... when our daily lives depend on our jobs that's easier said than done. I'm a child support specialist for the State of New Jersey going on 24 years now. For several years I was stuck in a job that I absolutely detested beyond any description. I became convinced that I'd be stuck in that unit forever with no chance of ever getting out. One morning my supervisor called me in to her office, we've been friends for years. Our attorney was told she was getting a position for a paralegal, went to the assistant director and specifically said she wanted me for the position. At first the assistant director said no but Amy (attorney) and Helene (supervisor) met with her about it. So now I'm in the job of my dreams! Good things do happen though sometimes it feels like we have to wait much too long. I believe in you, Kirsten. You're a very intelligent and talented woman. Something good is out there for you and I pray that your dream job will come along just as mine did. Meanwhile you have Luna & Lily to help you stay glued together. Your post is far from pointless, we can't help you if we don't know you need us. That's what your PT friends are for! Try to hang tough and count on your friends!!! I'm here for you.....

Again, thanks for your support! I took this week off because I really need a break, and I try to relax a bit, even though it's hard to ignore all the worries and doubts.

catfamily, actually I don't have anyone to support me, at least not financially, or in helping me to find a new job. So I'm playing the lottery every week and hope for a miracle.

I think migrating to another country would be difficult, even though many Germans consider to do so these days. The job situation is really bad here now. It's a bit better in the south of Germany, and I may have to get used to the thought to move there. My sister is already living there, and two friends of mine (in the area of Stuttgart/Black Forest). But it would be a tough decision.

momcat, I'm happy for you that things turned out so well for you in the end.
