Good Morning, MMC!!!!! It's a bit chilly here in central Indy where we currently stand at 56 degree's on our way to a high of 65 this afternoon. I love it!!!!! I went and got my meds this morning, so hopefully they will work miracles and have me back to 100% in no time. The bad thing is, the roofers are back and they are finishing stripping the old roof right over my apartment this morning. So my afternoon is going to be filled with the sounds of nail guns again. Yipee!!! I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thinking of you Made. I hope you're getting plenty of rest and that the meds work quickly. Feel better!

Good evening!
So what did I do with my first paycheck? I bought my daughter a bus ticket. She's on her way home right now to visit for the weekend. We didn't tell anyone, we're going to surprise her father & sisters. Her roommate has also been feeling homesick so they decided to come home together. It's just a quick visit but I'm so happy. Can't wait until she gets here!
I hope everyone is having a nice day so far, enjoy your evening!

Thanks, HMG!!! Starting to feel a bit better. The inhaler seems to be helping with the cough some.

That was a wonderful thing to do HMG! My daughter has just started her third year living at college; so trust me, I really know how you feel.....I miss her all the time~

Made, glad to read you are feeling a bit better, I continue to pray for complete healing.
HMG, what a nice surprise for everyone! Enjoy your weekend together.
I did not read to much so hoping the rest of you are well too.

Going out with friend tomorrow morning while LittleCS looks after the kids. Then I have to be at work from noon till 5pm.

Good evening! I kind of have a gut punch sort of feeling right now. I had a really un-comfortable day at work this morning, something that I had to do, but I didn't really want to do.

I was called into the presidents office and I was asked allot of questions about the performance of another employee. Now, I like this guy, he's a little odd, and you can tell, that he has a slight learning difficulty, but he is very reliable to be at work, punctual, never misses a day, and would do just about anything you ask him to do. But, he was just not cutout for the engineering field, other than just a basic drafter, which we do not use at our firm. He needed constant supervision, had to always re-check his work, and you repeated yourself to him, about how to do the same things, over, and over and over again.

It had gotten to a point, where out of 20 engineers, it was only three of us that would work with him and try to keep him busy. It has just gotten to a point, where something had to give.

Well, needless to say, this afternoon, he was let go....I feel really bad for him. I have reached out to a couple of friends of mine that work at other engineering firms in hopes that something could be there for him....I talked to him alone and told him that things like this happen and it just plain out right stinks. I told him tomorrow is another day, the sun will rise and so shall he.....

I know that it was my report that was the straw that broke the camels back, but, I was honest to my boss as I always am and will be...I gave good points and bad points to him and my summary was that I do not believe in letting someone go, just because. But I felt that our firm was not the right place for him and nor would he ever progress to become a designer. He lacks confidence in himself, needs constant re-assurances, does not follow directions and just does not get what we do.

Agggghhhh, sometimes it stinks to do somethings that you really don't want to do, but you know you have to do it.....Poor guy~

I'm glad you're feeling a little bit better. I hope you get back to 100% very soon!

Thanks xmastidings!
I miss my daughter all of the time too. And I constantly worry. I know a few parents who were actually looking forward to their kids going away. Can you imagine? I just can't wrap my head around that!

No I cannot. My son's 21, my dughter is 19, and I want them home still! I like it when they are with us, have their friends there, or even just the fact of me knowing that they are home safe and sound, upstairs in their bedrooms, means the world to me and I sleep a little better at night, knowing that.....It makes me feel like we are a family! We are, but it's feels even more when we all share the same space.....:-D

Hope they are gone for the day!!

It does stink but like you said, all you did was tell the truth. So you can't blame yourself.

It sounds like you went out of the way to work with him and to comfort him after it happened. I will keep him in my prayers.

 

[xmastidings]

Well, in order to find some peace wih my self right at the moment, I have my Merry Christmas Radio playing, while I'm upstairs here on the computer...Listening to Kenny Loggins; December, nice tune.....

I am loving the weather outside though, it is awonderful, Fall feeling evening out; and that always lights me up and lifts my soul. It's down in the upper 50's, and I'm loving it.....

Here it is almost 9pm and my son and wife are already in bed for the night. They were all up late last night, watching the Ravens put a thumping on them Steelers. I could hear them sceaming and yelling until I got back up out of bed, took an Ambian, and then I heard nothing for the rest of the night......lol

I hope everyone is having a good evening tonght.

Sorry to hear that you had a rough day, but I agree with made. Don't be too hard on yourself. You did what you had to do for the company, and always treated this man was compassion. I wish him the best of luck.

(((Hugs))) to you!
