i will still transfer than have to decide if I want to work part time...............truth is everything is so up in the air of alot of people retire than I go back and am one of the six to stay in the office..........But first the Board has to vote next friday.......if they approve the layoff for 7000 county employees go out next.........than people have two weeks to decide if they will go to parti time. If no the county said they will report you to unemployment as "refused job" and your benefits are gone if you don't come back........alot of people are gonna just retire instead of coming back .......so I could get moved again next month.......... I actually am hoping I get the other job I interviewed for earlier this month. It just opened up officially Thursday. So I am hoping............:-)

Work was awful!! Alot of people called in sick and didn't show up. The people that were left were all weepy all day. OUt of 50 people in my office only 6 are staying. The rest of us are gone.................... They are laying the rest of us off next week. Than we can accept the layoff or come back part time. Reduced retirement and benefits. People are so upset that alot of people are retiring. We will see what that means next week. 300 people gone today to layoffs. It was a bad day...........I had to remove kids today too of all days!! :-)

Nicole Robin asked about you today!! Said she missed having you in the group and asked about you.........I told her you have a great fill and that your had moved and were doing ok? YOu coming on the 29th for a fill!!

Hey all, Just got back from my fill this morning. Nice little group today and so, so fun to see Riley and Jes today!! Jes you should have come into my fill too I wasn't thinking or I would have told you to come........... Back up to 5.5cc's. So far with soup I don't feel a difference. I don't know what is up with me. But maybe it will kick in. I have been really hungry for two weeks now. Stress I guess......... So Dr. BAggs and I talked about the Celexa and I got signed up by the psychatrist for some stress management or anxiety sorta class until I can see someone.......he said that is good but that is only once you need something more. I told him I am on the waiting list for counseling......and I think the Celexa is starting to kick in a bit. Makes me not want to eat so not complaining.........but geez don't take it right before bedtime cause it keeps me up!! I am just so emotionally wiped out right now.................stupid job and obvious I don't know how to handle stress very well cause I have been wanting to kick something hard all week!!! 200 Social workers leave tomorrow..........and my whole office will be empty Monday.........so much upset and stress at work........ MONDAY!! I will be in a new office and one co worker is going with me. I hope things will change from MOnday on. I plan to get back on track with exercise and my food log...........I am hoping for a positive change with the new job. THey drag out the sadness and stress at work for almost a month enough is enough........... Candra wish I had seen you today?? If I had know you were around I would have suggested lunch........oh well I will be back on the 29th of October. Donna thinking of you. Praying for ya!! Nicole: I hear ya my life is stressful now I am missing all you guys and plan to get back online here soon when things slow down........ Wishing everyone a great weekend!! Lurkers are totally welcome to join in!!

or they might shrink away................LOL :-)

Going to be at the National Child Abuse conference all day.........waiting for the final budget vote today to see where I ened up. I hear ya Pam I need a fill too. I have little restriction. I have been the same weight for almost 6 weeks now.........I was doing so well when I had restriction losing weight fast. This is definetely a set back. Glad I am going in on Thursday. Gonna miss your pink slip party!!:-P Rather have a fill that go to that kind of party. Oh off to work..........this is such a crazy week!!

Hey Ladies and Gents Long day!! No fun at work this week....... .200 people will be leaving on Friday!! Some of them good friends. The rest of us will be moving out of the office on Friday.......they kept five people who will stay. So weird......the office is emptying out. I think where I am going will be ok. REally long commute but I am thinking of shortcuts already.............trying to figure out the shortest way to go.................LOl. I am headed to bed exhausted..............

Yep Jes feels good........only thing is if the board approved any funding on Tuesday (they are voting on Tuesday) than I will get my position taken away and I will go back to my original position...........but I don't think they will approve enought money to save my position. I am planning to go to the new job unless I get another email moving me again.....LOL. Crazy county they did the reassignments before the budget was approved so they might have to take it all back this week and re assign!! LOL. I sure don't want to give up my reassignement I am liking it...........but if they put me back to my original spot I would know what I am doing. I am thinking I don't want to go back though..........I think I would rather have the new assignment!! :-) Better fit and something new........ I think the new spot has better job security since they won't cut an emergency unit but next round of layoffs in January they could get my old position if they don't get it now. So I still sorta waiting for the BOS to approve a final budget. But hey I figure I was reassigned so that might mean they already know CPS won't get addiction funding..............who knows!!

I had a swollen stomach for about 6 weeks ..........than it went down almost overnight. When the port stopped hurting the swelling went down. Darn port hurt for quite awhile. Now I can certainly fell it expecially when I bend over but it doesn't hurt anymore. I like knowing it is there. I am still at work. This is so crazy but making up my time when I am out in Pinole this week. I am packed up and down to 6 kids on my caseload from 52 two weeks ago. My supervisors office is literally piled with cases to close. We closed out almost 1000 kids in two weeks............sorta sad no one to watch these kids anymore. We had to just let everything go the last couple of week........some happy parents out there now that their cases are closed out. I don't know, I just don't know how this is gonna work.....but I am OUTTA here I have been working for two days now to get everything done!! I can relax the rest of the week!! I am in training Mon-Wed and than pinole on Thursday. Friday I move offices and I am done here :-)

Ah Jes that will be fun to see you............ Ok I am headed back to my office today to get more paperwork done. Trying to fit a months worth of work into two weeks has been crazy.........yep my office is packed up and all my boxes are home now. Still on a plateau and I am hungry all the time. I need a fill. NOthing gets stuck at all I barely know I have a band right now!! LOL. I will check in later. Tamra water always helps me lose quicker. I drink like 120 ounces of water for a few days...........no CL just water and it always works!! MIght want to try it!!

Riley excited to see you too..............I am missing my pink slip party to come!!! LOL. I so didn't want to go to that so I am glad...........seems morbid to me!! I am losing alot of really good friends to the layoffs...........

Hey All Heather I also really laugh about my Diet Coke pencil......:-) I think it is hilarous!! Jes we will be at Pinole at 9am on Thursday morning. A group fill........ I am just chilling this weekend getting used to the idea of a major job change. The longer I think about it the more I think I like the idea.............babies might be more fun that dealing with all the teens But not sure yet where I am gonna be till I get there.........I heard two of us got assigned the same position. Hmm...........Also the budget meetings this week could change my spot. I will be back in my original position if they get additional money........so interesting to see where I actually end up!! I guess I will know 100% next week.........:-) I am not sure I wanna give up the babies to go back to where I was..........LOL..........but again that is not my choice!! LOL.

Hey everyone Up and around this morning...........headed into work to get my caseload closed. I didn't meet my deadlines since I was home sick on Tuesday............so going in now to make up my time and hopefully get it all done........I want to have an easy week and just go to training and chill before I start my new job.........so hopefully I can wrap it all up today............ So what is everyone up to this weekend?? How is everyone feeling...........Jes, Candra?? Donna you out walking again!! April I hope to get off my plateau here soon too. Nicole what are you guys up to this weekend? Riley your quiet?? can't wait to see you this week.....

I can't sleep. This Celexa is keeping me up........ok now I see that it says to take it first thing in the morning!! LOL. So catching up on ready everyone's posts. It has been a few days since I have been able to read them all.........

I am relieved tonight!! I might even get a re assignment back to an office closer to my house! ER has two offices one a block from my house........so eventually I am gonna try to stay in the same unit but get a tranfer to the North area!! It is all good..........:-) This is a really good assignment :-) Now just hoping no layoffs in January cause than I WILL be gone..............not gonna worry until after the new year my mind needs a break.......... Just knowing is better than not knowing!! At least I know where I end up ........... Next week I am in training MON-WED and than pinole on the 24th..........Friday pink slip party to say good bye to my co workers.......how crazy is that?? Your suppose to where pink ............I think it is sorta weird to have a party. So basically an easy week before I have to get retrained and on to a new job......... Hope everyone is doing well!!

I can eat to much too. On a serious plateua since I got my unfill 6 weeks ago...........going for a fill this week!!

Hey Ladies I did get re assigned today :-( I wanted to stay with my deparment but that didn't work out. I am going to Emergency response and will be working with Pos-tox babies. Drug babies!! A good place to go if I have to go..........if the budget changes next week I will go back to my Department..........only bad thing is that my office is in Rancho Cordova and I live in Roseville.......... We will see what happens next week with the budget but sounds like this is where I am staying. I don't expect much money to come back to the Department.......

Hey Maria how do I get on that list? I need to be on every list I can be.......Maria your strong already going through a layoff and job searching. I don't know how you do it I am stressed after a month of all this......... Candra and Jes how you guys doing?? Heather still losing my hair. I am hoping it slows down here soon. I have all these spikey hairs growing in everywhere now.........LOL. So there is hope!! Well busy, busy......should get reassigned today sometime but still waiting. Don't know if it will be email or phone call or mail...........could be in my work inbox on MOnday I guess...........no one knows.

I like Dr. Baggs too!! I go for a fill next week.......

Hmmm Pam. I think maybe I need to call around to other Kaisers than. I think two months is crazy too. Ok thanks for the kick I am gonna call a couple more locations and see if that helps!! So how does the Celexa work for you. I just started today. I know it takes awhile........I already feel better knowing I am addressing the issue. Ok gotta get off. Deadlines and all ya know.........LOL. As if I care at this point!!

Yea back down 4 pounds this morning. TOM gets me everytime.......now if I can get a couple more down before next week maybe I can still get a fill!! Can we say no restriction right now!!

No more nightmares Nicole!! LOL. Ok well off to meet my deadlines!! Too funny we still care about that when the whole Department won't exist in ah.......6 days now!!

Hey Nicole thanks. I am trying to chill which is why I called for counseling and got meds yesterday. This whole work enviroment is not healthy. I have to be there right now and stick it out so I am just trying to take care of myself and just survive work as long as I can. I don't want to be on stress leave right now :-) Timing would be bad!! Heather: I think anything county is scary right now, but I do think your position is ok. I just wonder where all the money is going? Jes and Candra?? HOw's it going banded girls?? Candra I thinki the third day I was the sorest so thinking about ya girl. Jes your banded!! Tamra your going to see Dr. Baggs today?? Let us know how it goes. Riley: looking forward to the clothes Donna: how did your meeting/coffee go? Ok well off to work and than a three day weekend. I hope no one asks me if I am gonna meet my deadlines today!! :-) DRove me crazy hearing that yesterday.

I like this story I was told...... A woman in an airport took her Bible and planned to doctrinize someone in the airport...........she was praying for her chance........sitting in the airport she was praying that God would help her find someone to preach to.........all she kept seeing was an old man with matted hair in a wheelchair........she kept feeling the urge to go brush his hair but kept fighting it.........it didn'nt have anything to do with preaching and she was sure God wanted her to preach to someone so she waited............finally she got up and went to the old man and asked if she could brush his hair..........the old man started to cry and said he had been praying all morning someone would come and brush his hair so he would look nice for his wife........turns out he had been in the hospital for six week, almost died...........his wife was in another town to ill to come see him..........no one has fixed his hair for 6 weeks and it was long and matted.......he wanted to look nice when he saw his wife but was to weak to care for himself........so to me the point is we shouldn't be preaching to each other we should be treating each other like we want to be treated that means more..............so this woman thought she knew what God wanted from her but she assumed wrong.........all he asked her to was answer an old man's prayer and that had nothing to do with preaching to anyone........... I just really liked this story!! This is my kind of religion....LOL!! Ok, ok I am a social worker and have a soft spot to a good story.............I loved this one made a valid point. The rules are not as important as the love.........
