> Hey JV,
> A former collegue got a job elsewhere doing what I have been doing for the past 8 months, she's not trained in this btw well she lasted one day and quit via the answering machine.
> I applied for the same job but they said they were going through with someone else I persume her, so I rang their HR to say I was still interested an left a message.
> However I got a call from an agency that it taking over from us and they were told that noone would lose jobs over this restructure, must have been said to placate them, I reckon as its not the case. So I wrote a letter of complaint to the Government Department and Minister, how were not being looked after. It's not through a lack of trying on my behalf either.

Hi Bear and yes its just been one thing on top of another for you ........ and having had the flu full on you would be so run down.

Do you take vitamins to help you at all?.........ive been on the Swisse Vitamins you can get them at a great price on ebay.........

Had better go and think about dinner the old boy is making noises:)

Well night night everyone...........have a lovely peaceful night and hope that all the sick ones are feeling stronger in the am.

For those of you looking and trying to find work my heart goes out to you and your family.......may your situation change very soon:)

Catch up tomorrow:)

Good evening everyone!

JVH - so sorry regards your mum - very sad. A very long-time stressful situation for you. Extremely difficult to watch someone we love go through awful things. Hugs and strength to you.

PJbear glad you are getting over your cold. I don't know where you will find the strength to attend that poor babies funeral. (Not that any are easy.) I'm grieving for my nephew who passed tragically a couple of weeks ago - his funeral was heartwrenching. I was asked to read a poem. (He was in his 20's).

The baby I sit for is my brother's baby (I also looked after my neice for 4 days a week for 4 years while my s.i.l. worked) (now she's at school so it's just the 18month old). (Far easier).

Hope your pain has eased purple!

Gosh here's hoping for some great news from everyone soonest!!

Sweet dreams!

Hi Miss and thank you for the thoughts re mother.........got a meeting with the doc this am and then im taking a few days off and trying to re group.........:)

Goooooooooooood morning all.............off to have another meeting with Mothers doctor this am.........not looking forward to locking horns with him yet again.........has to be the most passive aggressive person i have met............a sugar coated mule:)

Top day here on the coast.............think its going to be about 22c.......coolish of a night but can handle that.

Have a super day everyone:) BBL

Good morning! I now have my home back! Family moved out yesterday, so I have 2 empty guest rooms to redecorate, I might paint and recarpet this weekend! Woo Hoo!
This afternoon I have to go and mop 106 sq m of polished porcelain tiles at my son'r new home. I tried to get someone else to do it but no one was interested. 😞 I have to check them before payment is due tomorrow.
PJ, that is awful re your friend's baby. I can't imagine how they must be feeling and I am now concerned about the type of dummy that could cause such a tragic thing to happen.
Now is not the time, as I think you must be very upset but it may well be something that needs some attention drawn to it. Perhaps you might start a thread about the particular type of pacifier that caused this?.
((((PJ))))

Hi everyone....soryy I have not been on much lately. I have had a few things happen in the last week. My hubbys 48year old brother died suddenly last Thursday, and we had to travel interstste for the funeral on Tuesday.

Monday started out like any other day. I am only working on a Monday now, and about lunch time I heard gun shots, even though I have never heard them before. I just knew what the noise was. Our shop is across the road from where Des Moran was murdered, so we were in the thick of it. It has been very stressful for all the shop keepers in the area and hopefully things will return to normal soon.

JVH....hope the meeting with the Doctor went well and mum is OK.

Miss....sorry about your nephew. When it happens suddenly it is such a shock.

Karen...glad you have your house back to yourself.


PJ...Ihope your flu has improved and that your dental appointments are nearly finished.

Nefertiti....Lets hope the job hunting and interviews will come your way.

Hugs to everyone and thanks to everyone for caring........Mother looked peaceful today......very serene..........Doctor still in mule mode........but is just so lovely cant be cross with him:)

Will see you all very soon.........going to cruise and take it a bit easy for a wee while........

Take care everyone........and hope everyone has a peaceful and serene week:)

Chat soon:):)
