Could be company policy, handling layoffs in that manner is normal for many large companies just in case the person being laid off flies off the handle.Well, life's unfair at times.Unfortunately some bad news, Yesterday dropped the wife at her new job and just after I got home she called to pick her up. After we returned home the staffing agency called and supposedly the company, BCBS, did a market review and decided they had too many people for the work load and fired a bunch of people including the wife. The most annoying part was her boss didn't tell her what was going on, security simply showed up at her desk and escorted her out of the office without explanation...... That was rude.
Well the hunt goes on.
That’s unfair!
Still, the way the boss handled it was bad. And you should fire at the end of the day. Why make people come to work only to have to go right back home again.

Sherry and me have had more going on lately than you can imagine. Seriously.....I don't think anyone would believe it. We're doing fine, it's just everyone else in the family is falling apart health wise, both young and old. Sherry is a rock through it all while all is chaos around her....(and us).
I guess when it rains it pours. Oh well.
A cool old Who song that is quite fun to play. This one sounds best in Db for those keeping score. I hope everyone else is hanging in there.

Pretty much it's cleaning day, doing both bathrooms from top to bottom..... Oh happy, oh joy......
Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

You're not the boss of me

It's been overwhelming to say the least. My daughter continues to be monitored closely with her blood condition and pregnancy. Her WBC is back up to 17, which is concerning. Last Monday my dad went to the ER with cardiac issues. He had triple bypass 25 years ago, and should have seen a doctor months ago. However, he is stubborn, and refused to see a cardiologist after he finally told his doctor his symptoms. He finally was concerned enough to check himself in. They ran tests and discovered 2 out of the 3 bypasses were blocked. We thought they might do some stents, but are trying some medications for now. He was released on Friday, and today is the first day he is starting to regain some strength. In the meantime, my mom had some tests run last week and found out the lung cancer has metastasized to her brain. I went with her to the radiologist on Thursday to discuss options, and on Friday we went to the funeral home to make final arrangements. She had her mapping yesterday, and will soon be scheduled for targeted radiation, and hopefully it will be eradicated. It is guaranteed though to keep showing up, so we will play whack a mole until we are out of options. Some good news today was my daughter had an ultrasound and the heartbeat was strong. I wonder how I've kept it together, and I contribute it to my faith and my husband. WQ is there for me to lean on every step of the way.

Mrs. Liberty and I had to give the it is okay to let go speech twice last year. Hopefully you can avoid that Sherry. As always my advice is stay out of hospitals, they have sick people there.
You can take us off the list now Foxfyre. We are very grateful that you have it here, for all of us. 
Mr. P is at the end stages of those deep skin wounds.
He has an appt. tomorrow .
They had to heal from the inside out and the process takes very long time, since Sept. of last year.
He will have maybe a couple more appointments to go.
Thank you everyone for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers this whole last year.

Sometime's it's call the sandwich period of our lives dealing with the heartache, challenges, and critical situations with both our parents and our kids. And it is heart wrenching, terrifying, exhausting. So you two take care of yourselves too. You will get through it. but there is no denying that it tears you apart.

That's a heavy load piled up on one plate. It's a tribute to your strength that you've kept it together - with the blessings of faith and a loving hubby to share the burden.

Well the hunt goes on.
That’s unfair!
Still, the way the boss handled it was bad. And you should fire at the end of the day. Why make people come to work only to have to go right back home again.
Yeah, I can understand taking a few precautions of somebody who might go postal on them, but those precautions could have taken at the end of the day just as well as the beginning of the day and thus spare the employee from having to incur time and expense to go to work and then not get paid for the day. If they paid her for the day, then it still sucks, but morning would be to her advantage.

There are those times though that if you believe that God won't allow you more than you can handle, then God must think some of us are Superwoman or Superman.

Sherry and me have had more going on lately than you can imagine. Seriously.....I don't think anyone would believe it. We're doing fine, it's just everyone else in the family is falling apart health wise, both young and old. Sherry is a rock through it all while all is chaos around her....(and us).
I guess when it rains it pours. Oh well.
A cool old Who song that is quite fun to play. This one sounds best in Db for those keeping score. I hope everyone else is hanging in there.
