    Goodnight Jerry. It was good to see you! Thanks sugar. It was great to see you here. I hope that things settle down at work. I know that it sucks. I see the same sort of tightening happening in even the very small businesses. Hang in there, but work on that resume. There may be something...

    I think this economy gives corporations leverage to screw their employees. Then again, some businesses are just trying to get by at this point. The small ones fail. The big ones get bigger.

    I know it. How hard is it to provide a little bit of recognition and throw a perk or two. .......os! ..... I sure hope that your boss gets well soon. That is sad! No kidding about the hard work thing. These companies dont realize how valuable jewels like yourself are. If only you could be a...

    I wish that I could promise that I would be here more often. Seems like I said that last time (even promised) and failed miserably. I will try and be around more often.

    Well of course the folly of that approach is that it is very expensive to train a new employee, and the corporate knowledge is very valuable too. I think its self destructive. But the "firm" wont realize it until they have imploded.

    Oh no. That really sucks when you can use BOTH of those sentences. Sounds like you are REALLY burnt out. I think that some employers think that with the current economy they can just push and push and push. After all, what are you, the employee going to do? ... Well, the answer is that...

    I haven't forgotten about you guys. This thread is about the last bastion of my "social networking". Facebook is a distant memory at this point. :facepalm: Poor Norie. Its been ages.

    She is doing pretty good so far. They are trying to get her to do acrylics, cause no one else will. I dont want her to do it cause its bad chemical exposure. I told her the only way I would want her to do it is if they had a hood you could put near the nails and vent that poison outside!!! I...

    Yes, it's a skill. Even in a bad economy, hair gets doo'ed and nails gets painted. Weird.

    I'm glad I got to see all four of you tonight. That is way cool. It is good that "home" is still here. Even though most of you have moved on to more exciting turf, when someone posts here there is usually someone to talk to. I think that is a good thing! :)

    Oldest quit college and got certified as a manicurist. She is quite the "nail artist" and bringing in some decent bucks doing so. She went from aspiring "forensics pathologist wantabee" to cuticle pushing, nail painter in no time. :lol: Seriously, she is very good at it though. I do what I can. :)

    I'm glad I was able to liven things up a bit. Doesn't make up for being absent though. I feel bad about that. My life got real busy! Something had to give. I'm sorry it was ECF (and facebook). Most importantly, I miss all you fine folks!

    I would have thought I would have had you at MTV (Mattress Tag Violation).... Oh wait.... Nobody ever asked me what MTV meant. :facepalm: I want to say May 24th. She is pretty much on bed rest, meaning she cant do any work. And her $12 an hour boyfriend isn't going to be able to keep a roof...

    I had a great Christmas. We didn't go to Denver but it was awesome right here. Spent way more than I could afford. Worked way less than I could afford. Kids are OK. Middle Daughter still pregnant. Had to be in the hospital for two days. Incompetent cervix. They stitched it up. She is better...
