flamingo I’ve been to Paris 12 times (I think) and I’d be happy to give tips! Perfect. I have been once in high school, but DH has never been. Our plan is about a week, with a couple day trips to other areas (Loire Valley/chateaux region, Normandy, etc). I will definitely want to chat further and pick your brain once we start nailing things down.

I drove to STL this morning. Had a vision exam, got new glasses, went shopping and bought nothing 😯. I’ve never don’t that before. Lol. But I wasn’t feeling it because I was starving and had the shakes because I hadn’t eaten lunch and it was 2:00. Plus Sierra hadn’t napped and was not happy about shopping. Now I’m sitting outside my sisters house waiting for her and the kids to get home while S naps in the backseat.

So my boss reacted like I thought he would. He doesn't want me to go. But he completely understands. He told me some interesting information about our company and the future of it, that had I known, I don't know that I'd have been looking. I know he's going to talk to our CEO and try to figure out a way for me to stay.
Before I hit send on that, the VP of Sales came in and talked to me. Her and my boss called our CEO. They said they aren't losing me.
I just want to leave for the day, I'm not good at talking to everyone about this shit.

mwhip Congratulations! I'd also try to get holiday pay if you can. I asked the recruiter to go back and ask if I could start 12/27 instead of the 26th even, just for an extra day off. She's working on that. Our CEO called me and asked what it would take for me to stay. I hate this shit! So bad! I hate to leave, I love the people I work with, but I need something stable and certain, which I don't currently have here. But my boss and the VP of Sales told me the same thing about the future, which sounds like we should know something by the end of the week. UUUUGGGGHHH

Maybe that means more $$ in your future mwhip. Start thinking about what you would need in order to stay. Have you already accepted the new job?

lfig, I'm jealous of your new glasses! L ripped one of the sides off mine so I only wear them around the house. Come January when my vision benefits reload I'm getting new ones!

cagoldi, is your anatomy scan this week?? Tomorrow! I'm excited. It's with the high risk OB because I'm AMA and high risk. Pete and my mom are going. Question for the moms with both a boy and girl, did you feel like the girls were less active? I'm only 19 weeks tomorrow but I feel her moving a lot less than either of the boys at this age. I don’t have one of each but my girls were different in the womb. H was much lazier than S.

mwhip is it too late to ask the potential new job to have a week to think about it before accepting? Then see what kind of negotiations you can do with current job?

I’m such an idiot! On Friday, my last day of work for a few months, I reviewed a job announcement for a position I am the hiring official for and I will directly supervise. The announcement went out today. It has my name and personal cell phone listed for if people have questions about the job. I can’t believe I missed that when I reviewed and ok’d it! So I have gotten several calls today. Whoops! I called the HR person who is working it and she said she should be able to take it off and list my supervisor instead.

Thanks to the preschool teachers for showing my kid a picture of the Grinch and telling the class if they don't start listening he will come and take all their Christmas presents. I've had to answer so many questions since pick up. ugh!

Oh no lfig. What a nightmare to have your personal cell on the job ad! I’m glad the HR person can revise it.
