RE: Say something....to anybody...TRY to be nice...

OK.............

RE: Interest, how do you...

What happened to this thread?

RE: Say something....to anybody...TRY to be nice...

I'm visiting my cousin, who lives in SF, with his partner.

RE: Say something....to anybody...TRY to be nice...

I've quit twice before, for quite a while each time. This time will be for good. I watched my mother wither away from emphyzema. I never want my grandbabies to watch me suffer like that!

RE: Say something....to anybody...TRY to be nice...

Time will tell.....

Hey, maybe I'll meet my Prince Charming in San Fran!

RE: Say something....to anybody...TRY to be nice...

YAY!!!! Now it's my turn! I'm gonna go buy the patches & give it a third try. Don't they say the third time's a charm?

I wonder if that applies to meeting men on here too.....

RE: Say something....to anybody...TRY to be nice...

The feeling's definitely mutual, Merky!

RE: Assistant Appreciation Day is today

I had a boss like that snuggs. To this day, I call her "The boss from HELL". And she truthfully was. She lived each day to make her assistant's life miserable. No, I wasn't the only one she'd done it to. She went through 5 assistants in 4 years. She would purposely do things to make me look incompetant, incapable, & actually tried to make me look like I was LOSING it!

I emailed the assistant she had before me & asked if it was just me or was she always like that. Her reply was, "Well, let's just say that I don't go home crying anymore." That was my answer. It wasn't personal. She was just a jealous, miserable, lonely b*tch.

After that, I set out to find a new job. Ironically, my current boss called me & I hadn't even remembered applying for the job! It was surely a blessing in disguise!

I'd kept in contact with the assistant who took my place for a while. She ended up seeing a psychiatrist & on antidepressants. Soon after, I found out that my previous supervisor quit to go to... now get ready for this.....











SEMINARY SCHOOL!!!!!

RE: Assistant Appreciation Day is today

Just to let you know... my boss never makes a big deal out of it either. It's not that he's not appreciative, it's just his personality. We all know that he cares in the day-to-day things he does for each of us.

This year, he was 'guilted' into "participating". He's not here today... had a meeting at another campus. One of the other supervisors made the vases up for us & brought them down. And she also provided the 'goodies'.

RE: Assistant Appreciation Day is today

Now snuggs, you KNOW we appreciate you....

RE: Assistant Appreciation Day is today

HAHA!! I guess great 'administrative' minds think alike, don't they snuggs?

I just posted about the same thing!

Administrative Professionals Day

I just got a vase full of yellow roses tipped in red for Administrative Professionals Day!!

And they've set up a table with bagels, cream cheese (wasn't I just wanting this??), fruit, & coffee cake!!

This may be a good day for me, after all!!

RE: What's something ya want RIGHT NOW?

If I remember correctly, you were warned about that very thing by one of the posters here.

RE: Interest, how do you...

With friendships, just send a friendly email. Let them know you liked a topic they started or that maybe you two had stuff in common. Nobody can ever have too many friends! I've been gifted with quite a few friends on this site. But I can always use more.

RE: What's something ya want RIGHT NOW?

I would LOVE a bagel with gobs of cream cheese on it!!

RE: Interest, how do you...

With Doc, he showed interest in the threads. Then people caught on & played 'Cupid'. Then he sent me flowers & emails. The rest was history.

If you're interested, don't be afraid to show it. Even if the other person wasn't initially interested, just by striking up conversation, you never know what may happen!

RE: What's something ya want RIGHT NOW?

Someone to send me a flower & tell me he's interested.

RE: New here,what you think for this site?

Sit back & enjoy the ride. We're a good bunch of people. I've met many great friends here. And you just never know what else could happen, when you least expect it!

Trying out a waterbed

RE: Say something....to anybody...TRY to be nice...

RE: Say something....to anybody...TRY to be nice...

Afternoon Merky

It's really warm in my office

RE: Did I miss an announcement

Ditto

RE: Did I miss an announcement

Yes, if you're talking about Petalbabe from Ireland, she pulled her profile. I think she did say she was leaving though, before she did.

Trying out a waterbed

Be careful next time you try out a waterbed... you never know what to expect!

RE: Did I miss an announcement

Yes, she left a few weeks ago. I miss her.

RE: I must get off here shortly but have to make this comment

It was good to see you again too, NMG!

RE: A memorial thread for...

What a tragedy. To all who lost their lives in that senseless massacre that day.

RE: A memorial thread for...

I think the staff could've done something as well, dru.

RE: What good or positive has happened to u recently?

I had 2 grandsons & now my daughter gave me a beautiful little granddaughter, Alivia, to spoil & buy little dresses & things for. I'm sure she'll be spoiled by all, including Mommy, Daddy, & her big brothers.

RE: What good or positive has happened to u recently?

Thanks John! Great pics of progress! I can't wait to come down & see how things have changed. But I have to admit, I'll NEVER get over the loss of all those beautiful Antibellum homes that lined the beach!
