Last one to post is the Winner! (redux)
Wakie wakie everyone!! Mark's been on the bottom for 16 hours!!! Man, I bet your bones are aching from holding us all up!!!
have a good Monday y'all!
Good Morning Beth
My back is killing me from being on the bottom for so long I took today off to do some thinking in peace and quiet. I hope you have a wonderful day dear and I will be going "2THEBAY" to think what I am doing with this job stuff and my health insurance. I know it is very important but I don't want to use it because i am so stressed with a job and employees I dislike.
What is your opinion hun? Klara said it well I believe if you read back a few post.
Love always
xoxoxoxoxo
Hey logic!!! Been busy and not much time to write or hang around here.
But, when I have been here, I haven't seen you!!
How are you??I think you are avoiding me!
Been boring here without you and BP!
I am very good, or at least that's what I've been told!ha ha ha yea, I miss BP too.
I feel sooo alone without her!!! And then YOU, you keep disappearing too.
I guess I will have to go by what everyone else says. There's so much of you to go around, but not my way.
xoxI am here, but usually at nite. This is a rare daytime appearance. I'm am working on something and had to get up early. I don't stay to long most times as there are mostly activity in the religious forums and too dry for me!
I hope you meant, 'there is only so much of you to go around'!
I'll try to send some your way, if you'll have it!- I'm waiting.... for two years now!! You keep promising, but no show!! maybe that's why BP isn't here... she tired of waiting!!
I miss you! It's not the same without you -- no one to flirt with!!Actually, I think BP has some other issues she's working through. I am worried about her. Just hope she is okay.
Don't recall any promises about pics, but maybe someday. Just want to be judged by my writing and not by an avatar. Kinda single minded that way. Even if one puts up a cartoon character, a real pic or any other representation of who they are, others can't help but make assumptions. With a blank slate, people can conjure up what I am by my writing and that helps make me a better writer. Long ways to go I know, still working on it!
I miss you as well. You are very passionate, funny, sweet, and intelligent! Guess thats why we are so compatible!Yea, I'm worried about BP too. I haven't heard or seen a post from her since before December.
Judge?!? Well, that wouldn't be me. Though I know others do. Which is sad. I hate to think what they think of me. (though, I can assume by the emails I receive....) You're a greater writer! And you're always improving -- which is everyone's wish!
You're funny too. You always bring a laugh to my lips and a smile to my face. You've brightened my Monday.
I have to run -- taking care of business rather than procrastinating! ha ha ha
Talk with you again soon! It was great to see you! xoxo
HI Markie, Beth... where is Klara, Cara and Denise
:)Have a wonderful day!Hello Sophie. I hope you had a great day and I imagine it is getting close to bed time right for you. I keep getting confused with the time
You are right..it is bedtime... so goodnite from here...
Have a fun day!Oh Cara!!! Don't let these parents bully you and ruin your day.
You do a thankless job -- a job that involves looking after THEIR children when they're too busy doing their own things. And, you are the one forming THEIR children's minds while they are too busy with their own selves to give to flying pucks about them. Keep it straight in your head -- you are doing THEM a service!!!
Hang in there..... there's always the beefing parent out there!! (bet their child is use to the yelling and name calling at home. I'm sure that this parent does this with the other spouse. )
{{hugs}}
Have a better day today.Thanks Beth. I'm actually off today because my son has his parent teacher conferences today. I didn't let her bully me and it was handled but it's just disgusting the way these parents think that they can talk to us teachers. Trust me, the way she spoke to her son, I know that he is verbally abused at home if nothing else. She has lots of problems and is to my knowledge a single parent. This is a pattern for her so I am not taking it personally but there is no reason why it should have happened if our office would follow the safety procedures that we are supposed to have in place.
On a happier note, I'm looking forward to meeting with my son's teacher and taking my kids to McD's for lunch followed by story time at the library!
Enjoy your day everyone!Her behaviour was unacceptable at all levels. I think that teachers take a lot of abuse but your hands are tied to do anything about it. Kudos to you for being an integral part of building a child's future.
Enjoy your parent teacher interview! McD's is always a nice treat! Have a lovely afternoon!
@ Mark -- without a settled heart and with worries burdening your mind, you are headed for a bad road trip. Personally, I live without the healthcare because for me, my health is the most important thing that I have. Sound ironic? If you are to go to work and spend 8-12 hours per day unhappy, stressed, upset, depressed and disatisfied, then what do you think will happen with your health? You will start with colds, head aches, stomach aches, flus and so on. Before you know it, you will hurt yourself -- ulcers, physical accident, arguments at home. With this scenario, you will end up needing your healthcare.
On the other hand, if you eliminate the stressors in your life, you will become healthier, happier and whole. You will not need the healthcare as often as you would otherwise. It sound surreal, but it's true.
In my previous job, I was stressed to the max. I didn't like my boss, worked long hours, commute time was riduculous but I had healthcare benefits, bonuses, monthly expense account and travelled if I chose to. When I first started, I was fresh, energetic, healthy. By the time I left that company, I was always sick with a cold, continuous cough, head aches, gained weight, grumpy, did not eat healthy, no routine in my life and spent time with my kids in a foul mood (and they bore the brunt of my anger). Bad choice for me.
Then, I left and went to my last job. A quarter of the pay, definite hours and a position that most would deem as "beneath" me. I went from hi-tech to healthcare. I had no benefits, no expense account, no travelling and three bosses. Even though I worked with people who were ill and communicable diseases prevailed, in my entire two years there, I never once became ill. I did not take any flu shots or bumper vaccinations. I lost the stressors. I came home happy, laughed with my kids and enjoyed my time at the end of the day. I (touch on wood) have not been ill one day for the past 2.5 years.
Stressors = unhappy life, unhealthy life
Mark, you and Linda are at a point in your lifes where you deserve to enjoy life. It is not an easy decision for you. I know that. And no one can decide this for you. You will have to decide what is more important. Take a book, split pages (left = pros, right = cons) and write how you feel with your heart and think with your head. The answer will appear on the page.
All my love to you and Linda! xoxHello Beth and what great words of wisdom you have. You really have it together my friend. I have been on the phone for about an hour with my friend in which he is an health insurance agent. man there is a lot involved > He will guild me the right way I believe. As for you hun, you are the best and it feels so great to have a friend and friends like you that you can open up to and get great advise.
Thank you so much for always being there for me and I will keep you informed of what happens next. Good luck to you in your quest for your employment Beth. all of us here are praying something good will come your way because you certainly deserve it!!!
BTW Linda says Hi and gives her love and well

0@Cara - That's nothing new to us, teachers. We get it from all sides, honey! Don't worry about it. That's her problem. Not yours.
@Beth - What are you up to, girl?
@Mark - Was it your sister's house?!
Hi Klara, yes right in front of the house. We have a house on the Barnegat Bay on LBI and the house sits on a cove with dock etc. My sister and I grew up there in the summers. Lots of fond memories there with her and my mom and dad.
Have a good night sleep. I guess I will hit the hay now, of course after I check my adsense ads $$$ LOL LOL
xoxox
Denise, I don't know if you are working this weekend, but I wish you a great weekend whether you work or not. Just finished one more hub and made a whole $.01 again today. Isn't that wonderful

Hub # 276 But still no click only about $1.30 per day on HP ads, but better than nothing.
BTW are you hooked up with Tracker Referrals I just start to work on those tracking codes and maybe that will boost up the money. I never had the code in my profile say Ex. Join hubpages and write, learn and earn. So I check it and 19 people click it on my profile but never signed up. Oh well it will happen sooner or later. I have to go to bed dear. 12:10 am here Marklie is sleepy

Yes I am very lucky but it took 30 years to finally fulfill my dream, but I am here finally
6 Minutes to the Ocean and 1 mile to the open bay.
I HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL VALENTINES DAY !!!!!

Love Ya too
And a HAPPY WEDNESDAY to you !!! TOO
Hey For those in love it is valentines day everyday
So why wait for another year? LOLOL Hi Everyone!
So glad your interview went well Beth but sorry you're sick. Asking everyone for positive thoughts/prayers. I'm going to be applying for a Reading Teacher position at our community college. It is comparable pay and about 30 minutes shorter of a drive for me. I'm not sure what the time line will be for interviews, etc. but I can use all the good wishes that I can get! I really need to be done with this very stressful, dysfunctional place that I work in right now.
Have a great day everyone! Hi Ya Cara
best of luck to you with the applicatiion and job. What is everyone including myself sick of their job anbd looking for a new one? Did I start someting here? Na just joking with you Cara. really I hope someone calls me too. I have even applied at Shop Rite Customer service and Know someone there in the Pharmacy so we will see what happens there. It is only one mile from my home. I should save hundreds in gas .I'm lighting candles and saying prayers!
You deserve this job!
Hi Beth-I'm glad the interview went well.
You do the same and if the temps are warm send some to the East Coast NJ and some to Beth in Canada please
Good evenin' y'all!
Yes, please send me some sunshine and hot weather!! I'll be forever in your debt!! LOL see i was looking out after you
I don't want you to be cold
Beth do you use the Referral Tracker here on HP. I have been reading MissOlive's hubs and the hub written by HP them self. I feel so stupid and I keep reading over and over and feel I STILL don't comprehend it. I guess i 'll have to read and read until I get it. I wish someone could sit right next to me here and show me , then I am sure I would get it
All my love
xoxoxoxo
Hope that all the sick ones recover quickly from colds and flu. Haven't been writing at all, but sure have slept a lot! That's all I do now!
But, happy writing to all of you and
GOOD LUCK for all who are interviewing for other jobs. My thoughts and well wishes and prayers are with you.Good morning Denise. Long time no see and no talk. I hope you are feeling well and better dear. the sun has just come out after days of dark clouds and rain.
I have wonderful Friday and weekend too. Talk soon and be careful!!
Joy you and Beth get well soon..have some chicken soup?
i am not at work becos it is half term, and my work is in school and college.... Feel a bit better now, actually, felt horrid yesterday.. Hope to go out tomorrow, but hate to think i would pass on this to anyone, so trying to rest up a bit, and catch up with friends on line....
