might not even be the right word, as you may know, I work Monday thru Friday, 8-4 as a 9-1-1 dispatcher. Mostly I do admin work, scheduling, payroll, homeland security, those types of duties. Also DD goes to school 8 blocks away, 8-2:30, so works out pretty good right?? Well today my boss comes in and tells me I'm getting 'moved' 
to dispatch/40 hrs week. Still okay right but I have to 'fill in' open positions due to the union contract as no one else is being 'moved' which basically means I have to now take the part-time shifts which consist of Friday thru Monday (I'll be working all weekends) and still have to do a 'double' somewhere to make the 40 hours. 
My boss says he will work with me to fill the shifts I want due to my seniority but there's no way I guess around the weekend stuff and the double shift. . . I don't know, still trying to work-it out in my head (thus confused). 
Still will bring DD here Tuesday thru Thursday for school, which means I will actually be driving 7 days a week, twice a day for 3 of those days and no 'day-off' to sleep in or just lounge around with a nice 
!!! Suppose to be 'streamlining' according to the 'powers that be' but I don't know. . . I'm just confused, 
somewhat upset, 
aggravated, 
- let's see what other words I can fit in here. . .and this job doesn't even pay enough to keep the lights on! (hence the 2nd job I recently took) but there are NO jobs in this county, no industry, etc. It sucks, - would like to know where Pres. Bush is looking 
when he says the economy is doing good, - well not here! Just remember me. . .Anna -
Welcome. 
Sounds like you've got a good starting place with the Lord. I, like Sue, am single so I'll not try to give you advice 
but EZ and Wilma sure seem right-on, the only thing I might add is "LISTEN", 
I mean really listen, most of us don't, not only to your spouse but for God's guidance for you both, prayers for you dear. . . Sue - Glad to see you're back. Has your surgery been scheduled? Maybe it's all for the best with the promotion, etc. as you said, you wouldn't want to be off that long after just starting in a new position, - not that you couldn't, - it would just be hard for everyone I'm sure. By the way,
- are we getting pictures???Wilma - I'm so glad you enjoyed your time off and it does only take a few hours back to work to wish you had more!!
I don't have any time off scheduled until mid-April, no plans, just spring break for DD and thought I would spend a few days with her, - now due to change of schedule it might be days I'm off anyway. . . who knows???EZ - We have had it going back and forth pretty good over football I guess.
What predictions have you heard for this weekend? Mostly I've heard Saints over Bears due to the 'surge' they're on with getting over Katrina, back on the home field, etc., although some have said Bears have the better special teams 
and defense which will take them through. Haven't heard much talk on the Colts and Pats, most everyone here loves the Pats due to Troy Brown (Marshall grad) even though they've made the trip several times recently. . . . I guess we'll just have to wait until Sunday 
now won't we????Gotta fly,
just nice knowing you guys are here, had to talk to someone, - hope everyone is having a great day. "This is a day the Lord hath made, let us rejoice 
and be glad in it." Hugs & prayers - Margie
but will be worth it in the end... I still have to get my pics developed but I will post some from vacation as soon as I can.. I plan On doing a before pic and doing a journal as I go through the process. I am hoping if I loose fast enough he will move my surgery date up. If not means I will be off for almost all of june and july...
is here to pick her up and they need the computer for mapquest..........be back tonight.
