cagoldi how are you and the boys feeling today? Can't complain. I'm off work for Rheumatology and Dermatology appointments. I'm kind of looking forward to it because I think we might be closing in on some answers to a health mystery that's been going on for almost 4 years. I'll probably post in the group later. If I don't know anything today, I might get some more insight next week when I see my Immunologist. Sorry to be vague, it's just so nebulous that until I know more I don't want to give details. One of Dude's preschool teachers always asks me about vegan stuff and today she told me she decided to go vegan last week and she feels amazing. She asked for some more resources so I'm putting those together now even though I should really force my fat ass onto the treadmill instead. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We've been looking for the past year. If we find something worth it, we will. We've outgrown our house so we need to eventually.

Morning ladies!
Training all morning... so that is eh:/ I'm so over my supervisor it's not even funny. One of the most annoying people on the planet.
I bought a fire yesterday for me. I'm considering giving my first gen fire to Layla for our 40 min commute. We've managed to only allow TV so far, no phones or tablets. I know I should probably bring books or something for her to look at, but a tablet is really tempting me. I'm tired of the "mom this is soooooo long" complaint. And I can only think of so much to talk about at 630 in the morning.
Oh and Layla pooped in the yard behind the shed yesterday... so that was fun :/

calimocho wow that is really difficult! I'm sure there is such a struggle between feeling relieved that you weren't let go and guilt that you weren't let go and others were. I hope your workload isn't horrid and things smooth out soon.

Hiii. At work. Quick vent.. I think I need to have a heart to heart with my coworker about my frustrations with her. She has really been slacking lately and it's affecting me. We each have one day off a week and are supposed to cover each other on those days. I do sales, she does purchasing, but we know how to do each other's jobs. Well, for at least a month or more she is just not keeping up and I'm constantly asking her if she got xyz done while i was out and it's always "oh, i forgot about that" or "not yet." Yet she'll be sneakily reading her book half the day at her desk. I've vented to the other lady at the office because she's technically her supervisor and she's also very frustrated but doesn't see herself as the boss so doesn't want to say anything.
I could bring it up to my boss/owner of the company but I don't want him to get involved. Coworker and I get along great and I don't want to cause drama but its getting very frustrating. We have a very relaxed work environment and there is a lot of down time some days where we can surf the internet etc, but she will be doing other things when she has a full plate of work that needs to be done which is when I get upset.
So I think I need to just talk to her. But I'd much rather send an email because I hate confrontation. But if I can man up and talk to her today, I won't see her until Monday so it would be a good time to do it. Or i could just suck it up and get over it. Uggghhh I hate this.

Hi all, long time no see!
We're back in town and kind of at loose ends waiting for the move next week (or whenever it happens). Just lots of last-minute appts and errands. B has been in camp and DH is still home, which is super nice!

Morning. Yesterday really sucked -- cross-business layoffs at my firm, including my boss and my coworker. I'm the only one left supporting my clients. I'm completely devastated, for them and for what it means for my quality of work environment moving forward. Oh, no. I'm glad you were spared, but holy cow. I know you went there because it offered a better work/life balance, so I hope this isn't a permanent kink in that plan.

Oh no slenle, that sucks. I am awful w confrontation too. Especially when it's more of a partnership role, as you laid out, rather than a supervisor - subordinate role. Good luck w the talk.

Cher, are you staying in the same area? Or looking to move to a new town? slenle, i would bite the bullet and just talk to her. Have you thought how to best frame the issue? cagoldi I'm sorry the medical mystery is still ongoing. I hope you get some answers.

We're all very attached to it. The house today would be a total reno project, so there would be an all new kitchen to obsess over together.

calimocho we look in our town, we also look in a couple of the towns around us which have good schools. Everything is so close here that, no matter what, we wouldn't be more than ten minutes away from where we are now.

I've broken every workplace "rule" and have spent the day crying every time a coworker offers me support. Everyone is shocked. One woman offered to be my new mentor and I sobbed in her office. I really, really loved my boss, and we were also good friends, so I feel paralyzed.
My new boss has been very kind and assured me that great things are in store for me here, and that I'm not expected to pick up all of the work that is left behind, and that they understand how hard this is on both a professional and personal level, but right now I'm just feeling very salty that he had a hand in this whole thing. I'm taking it personally and I need to reframe my headspace but I'm finding that hard right now.

The people that made it happen talked to us all the time and acted like everything was normal. Then more than half lost their jobs..

Cher , are you staying in the same area? Or looking to move to a new town? slenle , i would bite the bullet and just talk to her. Have you thought how to best frame the issue? cagoldi I'm sorry the medical mystery is still ongoing. I hope you get some answers. I've been thinking about it all day and I'm still not sure how to go about this. I think she can sense tension because our other coworker/her supervisor (G) has made a few passive comments to her about things not getting done. And then T bitches to me that G is asking her these things. I should have said something when she was bitching about it earlier, but the 3 of us are all in the same room and boss is right out the door so there is no privacy.

I'm sorry for the rough day calimocho. I've broken the no crying rule before too, but sometimes you just can't help it. I can't imagine the stress and sadness you are feeling about your job and losing your coworkers.
