Ah waffles...........now I want one of those too!! Geez I am so hungry for carbs right now..........seriously should not have started on them two days ago.............I think the potato at my mom's house got me started today.......... Jes I can tell you research alot for your resume!! One of the best I have seen.............I ended up changing some things on mine and changed my Objective. I liked yours better..........

Hey Pam I am here. Girl I can't wait for a fill either. I so need one I can eat anything.......... Donna great resume too. Ok I am trying to take three resumes and combine them into the perfect resume!! Thanks so much ladies.............helped alot.

Jes your resume is great.......ah I changed some stuff around on mine now!!

I hear ya Heather I haven't done so well the past two days.........bread and ice cream are the culprits............ah having a hard time trying to switch my mindset............ Got the resume done just need to have it proof read tomorrow. Took me a couple of hours to get it fixed up the way I want it............I thought it was perfect but than once I started to update it.............well there were alot of updates and things to fix up............. I might have an inteview on Thursday. Donna I am gonna call you.........I am trying to switch the interview for Friday so I can still do the fill thing............I will keep you updated. I am torn cause I want to get the fill just in case I lose my health insurance here soon........but than again I really need to the interview too. Ah thinking maybe Dr. Baggs will let me switch to Friday on his end............. I can eat anything. I need a fill!! LOL So where is everyone did you all get together and do something else??

chilling this afternoon...........did you all get together today?? Nicole you getting moved??

HOnda civic 2003. Headed to bed. Had a bad eating day today.............man those carbs sure got me today!! I am still craving them..............

I actually ate a subway sandwich today..........the whole thing. I think the band is getting looser........two weeks ago I couldn't eat this much...........I have been hungry I think it is the stress.........

Candra that would be great if your "men" could do a mini tune up!! I could even bring them something to BBQ!!! Ok ladies I ate subway today and it stayed down. Bad girl I know. I am just to tired to cook and have been lazy the last two days. I think since I know I am getting a fill I am having this last supper thing again..........after the fill.........subway, break, broccoli.............well alot of things are gone............

Heather do you know which bargaining unit you are with? I sent you an email not sure if you got it or not........this is also alot of info on UPE one website. If you google it they have the whole update on that first page too..........

Finally home and ready for the weekend...........been a really long week!! I never got my resume done becuase working was crazy this week........so working on that now and than sending it out on MOnday!!

Ah Chris I know, I know.............I could tell a different RIGHT away!! It is a huge difference for me. I am at 4cc's. I can eat most anything but I get fuller way faster than without the band...........I totally get what your saying!! It is weird after restriction to go back to less restriction right?? I find it weird. My mind tells me I can't eat something like bread..........which by the way goes down now but still uncomfortable..........but I actually can. Like a reverse mind %*!! LOL Anyway I hear ya and you still get full faster and I am not losing as well as before and I am playing with two pounds up and down but certainly not gaining either. For me it has been a good change!! I am going back for a fill on 9/3...................and ready for it. But it has been a nice break..........my band was being a bully I needed a bit of a break since I was getting frustrated with it............ So on 10/30 you will be 13 weeks?? Wow time will fly..........

Riley I can't come tomorrow. Things are to crazy right now. I just can't justify paying for gas to drive the bay area twice this week..............never mind I need a tune up that I can't afford right now!! It will be a nice change of pace to go every other month for fills...........better on the pocket book!! :-) Ok ladies going off the grid now. Gotta get things wound down at my office today. So now we are hearing we are not moving until October 15 but last week it was September 15...........goverment for ya!! I think they are waiting for all the layoffs to decide what to do.......geez. I am packing up and bring my stuff home than it won't matter what date we move...........LOL

Ah Chris I think you will notice a difference at 4.5. I am noticing a huge difference and I only got 2ccs out. So the next group fill is October 30? I am guessing I will be at that one. I need to write it down and than see what happens at my appointment on the 3rd. Off to work. Nicole your moving today so exciting!! Glad things are going better for you..................

Pam how are you? I forgot you..............how you doing?? Girl make him buy you lunch sometime ok?? Don't buy every week........make him work it a bit!! Remember you ARE a sexy beast...........growl a bit!! Tamra: where you been girl...........ok, ok where have I been too............. Ok ladies chillin with my girl. She is stressed to the max with all this layoff stuff andme working late every night...............tonight we are chillin and having a girls night................:-) Girl talk............nail polish........oh yea some alegebra............and chatting about boys..........since both of us have liked boys at one point or another..............good for her.............bad for me since I was looking for a man.............not a boy child..............LOL!!

Ah Heather I was at UPE most of the morning trying to negotiate all this stuff...........I didn't know you were UPE 1. Ah than you might be on the forlough list......... Yep Heather I agree with you I feel bad about the COLA and I would give it back to save my co workers and to make my job easier..........UPE 1 needs to go back to the table and agree to something.................I don't want to be forloughed and make a part time worker...........I want to give the COLA back and keep my job.......... Well I work with UPE one alot since I am on the PSW committee. I told them alot of us want to renogiate if it means we can save CPS.............they looked at me like I was crazy..........what are your people saying? Do they want to go back to the table??

Nicole-you live really close to me now or will!! YEa!! I think I know that complex and I might come swim at your place!! :-) Chris: Unfill? Like how much? hmm......and yep Dr. Baggs is on vacation I tried to get an appointment for today but they told me he was out all week......so going next week on the 3rd instead........ APril: promotion is great in todays market. Where do you work.......... Riley: survivors guilt? We are havingthat were I work people who are staying feel bad..................but it is what it is........... Heather: message me your email and I will send you the notification when I find it.......or are you on county email? Reggie: tell us about the fill?? Jes and Candra two weeks ladies........hope to see you next thursday.......... Did I forget anyone??

Hey Ladies..... Long day. I was in meeting with upper managment and the union most of the day. So crazy they keep talking like we aren't laying anyone off even though we are.....they said business has to go on as usual until the day the pink slips go out. Sept 4............so I guess we pretend. CPS is basically going into triage mode. We will only help or investigate really serious abuse. We won't be going on anymore on anything that we can't take or hold up in court........might be good change I don't know. We won't have the bodies to do the work so we are changing our mission statement and policies in the next month and I guess going back to survival of the fittest...... Heather. I need to find the email but I don't think you will be forloughed. They are saying that the county is going after two unions UPE one and SEIU. Welfare and and CPS and Clerical. We didn't negotiate with the county in July so we are hearing the is retalitory......I think there is an email saying Sheriffs department wont' be touched since you negotiate. But I don't know for sure I need to find the email.......... I don't know where I am on the list. They are chopping the masters degreed workers and keeping batchelors. By Law CPS has to be staffed by MSW by at least 75%........County is breaking that rule doing what they are doing......hoping they won't get caught. So that might save my job if they are forced to lay off batchelors first........seriously if your going down to half staff you need your masters degree workers........... I dont know yet. County mangers have the names onthe list but won't talk until you get a slip in the mail..........they are refusing to give details and keep talking like it won't happen..........so who knows. Lots of us just wish our union would negotiate. We are willing to take a forlough and give up the COLA to keep our coworkers and CPS running........... I am going to chill and get some sleep.

What the name of the place NIcole?? Exciting......... I am headed to a meeting with the union this morning to find out where I fall on the list ane hopefully get some answers on what I need to do.................I was on this leadership committee between the union, management and social workers. ALthough that fell apart with the layoffs I guess we have to discuss the layoffoffs and make sure everything is done going according to senriority. The good thing (i guess) is that I will be able to see the list and hopefully figure out exactly where I stand. It could be a long morning. I am so in need of a fill. I am up two pounds and it won't budge. Haven't been eating anything really bad just ............I don't know I must be eating more to gain two pounds.........just don't feel like I am eating bad...........I guess more than before the fill though............

Big Medicine is great!! I love that show..................lap band tonight ladies!! Yahoo..............gotta see the surgery.............

Oh I am watching the same show Candra..........Big medicine is great too!! Nicole is apartment hunting today she was down in sacramento........probably getting back late maybe they found something.........

Thanks Riley for the information. That is great news I am just debating about staying with the county...............I might be offered nights and weekends..................I think I will just try putting resumes out and going to Denver in two weeks so I will try there too.............I just wish had knew for sure what the best thing was.............. Hard being at this office and knowing I am leaving after 7 years.............I am so used to working here.......... Oh Heather I only have 7 1/2 years with the county not 10............I wish!! :-) Girl what you hearing on your end today??

Yea Chris I agree with Riley this happens ALOT so while they don't like it I am sure they see it all the time...........They will probably just give you a bit of a hard time and move on!! I mean what can you do?? And I got pregnant with my daughter by accident it does happen :-) Things will work out....................they always do!! Babies are a blessing so no worries and if you gain weight so what................

Congratulations Chris!! Yea let kaiser know sooner rather than later..........I think you don't have to get an unfill until you start to show and the band tightens up.............thought I heard that somewhere. But I think during pregnancy they quit worrying so much about weight loss.................they worry about that later................ Liz........ah dear............she is gonna be a feisty one to deal with a Robin too. Better to get it over with. YOu could just email Dr. Baggs?? Nicole did you take your pregnancy test girl?? You should just be on the safe side.........

off to work..............oh joy!! Chaos rules at that place......... Gonna shut my door and stay off the roller coaster today. Did find out if I stay that the county is trying to cut health benefits and that Kaiser might not be an option anymore. Depends on who is the cheapest medical insurance when they bid.........I really have got to talk to Liz and get this figured out. If I stay I have to agree to part time work and less benefits............. Riley didn't you say something about benefits going up for your too?? I think our county is doing the same thing.....forloughs and higher health care costs. I hope everyone is right that the fill appointments are already paid for with the surgery............
