Hi everyone! Tomorrow AM hubby and I are heading out to drive down to Fort Wayne, Indiana (We live in Ontario) We have been there several times as hubby has business that takes him there. I have had a really rough couple weeks....forgot to take my diabetes meds and my EFFEXOR and had a really hard go of it emotionally as a result all day yesterday. Work is just awful...I swear I have the boss from **** and for health reasons should quit...NOW....but I will be taking the time on this trip(we come back Sunday) to sort of make it a spiritual retreat. I will do nothing but relax, read, shop and swim.....maybe make the decision of whether my job is more important than my health. My boss called us a bunch of imbosils on Saturday. He likes to ask us if we are stupid or something. We all try really hard but he is never happy. He always sees what needs to be done....he rarely notices what has been done!! I work in a thrift store so there really is no routine. You never know what you will be dealing day to day. Here we are famous for garage sales. When a garage sale is over people tend to bring all of their leftovers to us.....lineups of cars waiting to donate their things and only 2 people working ...It is a pretty big store. We do all the receiving, sorting and pricing of everything but the clothes. We have alot to handle in a day, everyday and get paid minimum wage for it. I do not mind working hard for the money....I need to decide if any amount of money is really worth being treated so badly.... Sorry all for rambling...I know things could be alot worse. I do try to think of all the things I have to be grateful for....there is so much, including my sobriety.....sober 7 years on July 30, 2007!!!! Take care all...will report back after we get back on Sunday!!

Dorrie: First of all, CONGRATS on your 7 yr anniversary of the NEW you... That is something to be very proud of....
Sounds like you will have a relaxing trip, just what the Dr. ordered. I left the employments field last Fall due to health reasons. I was working PT at a job that I loved, but it was just too much for me. I procratinated about it for months, and then a friend told me to weigh the pros and cons of my job.... I quit and have never looked back. I know every situation is different, but try and put yourself and your health first... I know my decision was the best one for me.. (side note) I didn't know at the time I quit that my Mother would become ill this yr and pass away, so I had so much more memorable time to spend w/her. My decision was meant to be... I do commend you for working so hard at the Thrift Store so that others can benefit..... hugz Have a restful and stressfree vacation and take care.....
