NEW JOB!

<< < (6/7) > >>

Well, fortunately for me, my new job is amid loads of people in their 80s and 90s, so ain't nobody but me staring at MY head for glimpses of scalp...

Hops. It sounds like you are the youngster in the crowd.  I hope for great reward for you.

Btw, I loves Braggs as well.  Love your helpful explanation Skepikal!  But consider adding one more supplement. - primrose oil helps tremendously with hair loss.

Love to you.

It took a big push from the universe and a wild moment of being a lion to get you out of your soul destroying situation at work. I think you were very brave and crossed the abyss over some harrowing seas full of uncertainty and self searching. Bravo! Also reminds me of a big, ole eagle when his wings get drenched, sitting high up in a fir tree with his wings down and fanned out. Temporarily stalled because of rain and wet and cold. Very difficult circumstance for an eagle and when there is a break in the clouds and they get a chance to dry out their feathers, they are  airborn again. Only a change in the weather will help.

you are not a whiner. Stop that. You shared a difficult part of your life and thanks for that. And what a happy ending to that chapter.


Lots of love

Hooo, boy. Here it is:

I'm back to square one. The director (of the Assisted Living and/or retirement home), a dragon lady of about 75, decided not to keep me. Every manager (5) told me they've spoken to the board about her. But for now, she still has the power and that's what she decided. (Offered thin excuses that didn't remotely pass muster, per the HR person. The reality was, she's hyper controlling...and perceived me as a threat. Admissions procedures were complex and she refused to train me--wanted me to figure it all out from chaotic files and really ghastly existing records. No procedure manual, no nothing. And multiple legal and medical ramifications that she wouldn't explain, for every form (some of which were incoherent, redundant...or lost.)

I just about had finished updating and streamlining the process, but as to the marketing side, she wouldn't even allow me to manage a print ad (which I've done hundreds of)...so I don't think it could've worked, as long as she's there.

Long boring tale and a real disappointment--I did love the place. But...I am a determined person. I can, in fact, retire at the end of the month on bare-survival social security, if I want to. But I'd rather keep going until 70 (you earn way more SS for life if you postpone it). We'll see. I'm nothing if not resourceful.

You guys are SO patient.

love,
Hops

Oh, Dear....

this isn't good.  Why do they keep the crazy people, and let the good ones go?

Once I did designed and produced a POP display for Hitachi Power Tool.  One of the people involved (not the boss who hired me) was a nutter, combative, ridiculing, and abrasive.  EVERYONE involved knew what she was, but there she was.... creating discord everywhere she went, and getting paid for it.

I'm so sorry to hear this happened to you, Hops.

You'll find something else.... likely better.
