what is the purpose of sunglasses (on the top of your head) at 3 in the morning?


Oh, I know this one! When I go into the building in the daylight and prop them up there so I don't lose them...then work until it's dark...at least I still know where they are :)

I get ya...
I worked about 65 hours last week with a 14 hour day on Thursday - after which I got to sleep in a hotel room, get up and work early and then drive 3.5 hours home on a Friday night. I'm exhausted and money doesn't fix that.

My base salary is good, I've pretty much got guaranteed employment for 3 years and people think I'm crazy because I'm looking so hard for a change...it's not even the hours cuz I used to be able to do those cheerfully when necessary to a project. It's the blatent disrespect for my work & self over the past few months (guaranteed to continue once my "new boss" is officially my new boss in 30 days) that have taken the joy right out of the job. A happy heart is worth the risk of making a change, IMO. I just wish I knew which of about 4 currently brewing options were going to come to fruition first and what will be the right decision going forward! Oh for a crystal ball!

I think what irritates me the most is the fact that I am constantly feel as though because my kids are all grown and gone & that I am single I wont mind. I have waited the better part of 22 years to have one, had to raise 3 wonderful kids first, now I want one gosh darn it (you all know what I wanted to say there)

Why is it that good memories drop in on you when you really dont want them to and then you are sitting on a bus with a cheesy grin bawling your eyes out?

From a woman's point of view...it's okay. I've had guys ask me this. No creeper issue IMO.

I would have to agree, especially if you both have agreed you are friends.

Hi KymmieSue! How ya holdin' up girl?


I'm feeling better. Was talking to this old man on the bus, and he brought up some wonderful old memories. By the time he got off I was bawling like a baby with a cheesy grin on my face. I felt wonderful. Funny how people who have passed can still affect you years later.

Still looking for a new job though

It was my father-in-law, the closest thing I have ever had to a father, he always had this way of knowing when I felt bad and he would say or do something (usually with the help of my oldest daughter) to make everything feel better. It was WONDERFUL!

We can definately be job-hunting soul-sista's

Come hang out on the site a bit. Most of us are from America, but we have a few Australians ( including the Co Founder of the team ) and several from England. One from South Africa, although he hasn't been posting lately.



Can I really??? I wouldn't want to be an interloper...


Our site is open to the public. Unless you happen to be a spam bot or a troll, there is no such thing as an interloper...lol

You are more than welcome to join in there. :-)

It means that stupid people will stand there and try to figure out why the pump won't work. lol

coffee or energy drink? which should i have?


I am probably VERY late on all of these, but my vote would be for neither of them. Neither one is any good for you.

Feeling unappreciated will do that every time.

How could you not want a good memory??? I think it's much better than the alternative.
