One Step at a Time - July 20016

Mama, I don't think I communicated well in my post. I wasn't suggesting trashing the man's life just pointing out that if it becomes a nuisance environment these are company policy points to remember. The man just seems to be harmless, but horny. We all deserve respect in the workplace. Trashing his life didn't occur to me and telling a story of the sabotaging my hard work was telling my experience. I thought my complaint to the G.M. would result in a rebuke not a dismissal, apparently there were other
performance issues. Accusing me of trashing his life seems harsh. Also being a Human Resource manager, I had to take courses updating company's policy b/c our policy was providing a safe place to work for both women and men.

Nora, I don't think it's too late to taper. Adding a smaller dose may stabilize your emotions. My daughter took 3 months to taper. I also felt that I needed to stop the Lex when I got sober, turns out I still needed it! Life is easier taking it.

Pauly, ditto on the advice given above, you just don't need that.

X-post, Rusty. That kind of commute can be exhausting after a working day. Do you listen to tapes? I've had Neil Young's "Harvest Moon" as an earworm lately, lol.

Quick jump in. Definitely don't go Pauly and you don't need this. Give a small gift and that's all. you have to take care of yourself.

She asked me if I'm coming today I just changed the subject, she's already talking about the coronas and wine she's buying and the food sounds gross anyways so no,I already know I'm not going,I just worry about isolating however if I'm invited somewhere by non-crazy people I go so I take consolation in that,Nora,how long have you been off of the lexapro? I know some people taper those but I don't know much about it

[paulywogg]

Hey all, sheesh,looks like the Pauly thread haha,anyway hope everyone has a great day

[NoraC]

Loving the Pauly thread. Where is everyone?

Tree - great to see you as always.

Drove down to my nieces last night. Ended up coming back home and was asleep by around 2:00. Probably going to crash this afternoon after the caffeine wears off. And to think, in my younger days, I stay up all night no problem. :rotlf:

How's everyone doing?

[Rusty]

Hi Everyone, at work with a client today and tomorrow.

Pauly-great job on NOT going to the party!

Love to everyone else. Busy here and staying with my mom tonight. :-)

I treated myself to some pricey,chocolate scented facial cleanser off Amazon, it came today where the heck is everyone? Oh well I'll keep the thread going haha,Brady got one of those selective service registration papers in the mail,I didn't know they still did that,kinda made me feel sad cuz my baby is all grown up, I've been counting calories on sparkpeople and goddam it I'm over nearly every day and still hungry! El porko! Hope all are well(lazy bums)

Headed to the blankie fort tonight. Sissy called today and BIL interview didn't go as well as they hoped. Another dead end? She called me crying. Did what I could to encourage her. Then my BIL (hubby's brother) called. My sister in law is being admitted to the hospital tomorrow. She has had a low grade fever for about a month, low hemoglobin and enlarged spleen. I'm just sick about it, Sorry to be so self absorbed, but it's just one of those days

[Rusty]

So sorry, my dear Liz! So glad you are there to support you and your husbamd's family!

Pauly-you make me laugh! Thanks!! ;-)

[paulywogg]

:hug:Liz:hug:

[NoraC]

:hug::heart:Oh Liz. I am so sorry.

[NoraC]

Liz - I am so sad for you. So much going on in your life. I know it's so hard to watch sissy & bil go thru this. And now your sil going into the hospital. I am praying for your family.

I don't see any self absorbed people here. We all have periods where we need the wagons to circle around us. So, Liz - we are surrounding you. Love you friend......

[NoraC]

Pauly - about Brady receiving his SS papers. The worse part was all those phone calls we got constantly from recruiters. They were not welcome calls at our house. :rant:
Oh - & nephew made it to his 'deployed location'. Didn't know I wasn't supposed to say. osteroops:
