Re: I am frustrated !!! Big time

[Guest guest]

Hugs to Spanky. I always wish that I could be the person that my dog thinks

that I am. But, when it comes down to it, my dogs, cats, and parrots KNOW

that I am a big pushover.

I had to touch on your subject of people~vs~jobs. Believe me...I have had it

in this field. Some folks just do a wonderful job, others....just don't

care. I have come to the following conclusion. Companies just keep adding

duties and eliminating people. Before I went on SS, I did the work for 3,

when I went on leave, 9 months ago, I have still not been replaced. This may

sound petty, but from now on, talk to office managers and supervisors. Most

times, the insurance company is to blame, I used to work @ Aetna, and we had

so few people, and so many papers, we had no idea what was there and what was

not.

Everyone is stressed to the max. I know this may sound deep, but alot of it

is the way folks are raised these days. I myself have a 3 year old. We go

to a kids play place, and no-one watches their children. It makes me so

sick. There is no discipline, no rules, no values. I have never hit my

daughter...ever. But, I have pulled hair twice, and I have a good " look " . I

tell her when she does wrong, but I see all of these other women sitting in

their little coffee clutches discussing who is pregnant, etc, and letting

their kids just do what they want and behave as they may. My never to be

humble opinon busted into one of these clutches today and rocked the boat.

Sorry to ramble. Just a peeve I have. I just see this circle and I wonder

what these children are going to grow up to be like? I am only 26, but my

parents taught me that I have to show respect. There is no room made for

that today.

You take your dog to the nursing home......to visit w/ the folks there???

If this is what you do, I think that is so great. Kudos to you and Spanky. :-)

I've thought people screw things up alot for along time now. I pretty much

figured if I need it done right I need to do it myself......

My hubby has always done all his own stuff, but for once hired a man to do some

concrete work, and you guessed it.....it drains water the wrong way......<sigh>

It is like no one takes pride in their job anymore.....

Will I get fired from this list for talking off subject?

I'm battling back pain today.....along w/ the feet......yesterday I was

optimistic and today I'm frowning....

I grit my teeth to get thru the workdays, but tend to fall in a heap at night.

Weekends I rest up for Monday.....and I feel antisocial alot on my time

off.....guess I get tired of wearing the mask with the smile......how many times

a week does someone in passing say the old thing.... " Hi! How are you? " and you

smile and say " Fine. " .......and then later think to yourself, they wouldn't want

to really know how crappy I feel....

Well......have a good evening everyone, and don't forget to hug yourself.

I am frustrated !!! Big time

I have been waiting for over 1 month for the OK from my insurance

company for my vioxx and ambiene.....the drug store says they need Dr.

approval the Doc needs ins. approval. All say they called who they were

suppose to,but say the other people never contacted them.....talk about

a vicious circle!!!!! I got on the phone with the Dr. office, told her

ins. said she never called them and gave the phone number so they can

fight it out. I will call every day twice a day if necessary until this

is resolved. I should never have left it go so long but trusted they

would do it,,,,,,,,WRONG!!!! It amazes me that NO ONE does their jobs

any more. Have you all noticed this? You can't go to a resturant and

what you ordered without a mistake of some kind and when you order

something there is something wrong......Makes on wonder about today's

workers........(deep breath here,,,exhale,,,,,aww, that's better,LOL)

Well one les stresser out of my life, we signed the papers and sold the

house last night. There again one of the realtors forgot papersand had

to go back to the office and there was an inportant paper missing and

they had to track it down, which took over an hour. So we were at the

closing fr over 2 hours and onlyhad to sign 3 papers,,,,,,,,,,

I have been running in circles lately and haven't had time fo post but I

have been reading. I also have weak ankles and sometimes get those

sharp pains and can't walk for awhile, but usually it only lasts froma

few minutes to a day. It can happen, and most often does, when I am

just walking normally. Go figure!!!!!!

Today is the day I take Spanky to the nursing home. If nothing else

gets me out of a mood that does. Just seeing those people with no home

to go to and in such sad shape, it tends to make my problems less.

Spanky got groomed yesterday and looks so cute. He is snow white and

fluffy. For you who do not know he is of the same breed that won at

Westminister this year (bichon frise). I don't want to take up alot of

space talking about him, don't want anyone to get upset, lol, but he is

a BIG part of my life. Wishing you all well, Jan M.om to Spanky

I don't think anybody is going to be fired for talking off subject. I wish

more would. I am cooking chili in a cookoff on Saturday so wish me luck. I

don't feel like it but if I don't force myself to get out I would never go

anywhere. I also have to buy a dress for a wedding. I am standing up for a

good friend of mine next Sunday,

As someone who does work, I'd like to say that I think some people do their

jobs. As someone else pointed out, companies have downsized in order to meet

their goals, leaving less people to do more. I always give service people a

break, knowing that they have to deal with many people all day long, some

wrong, some rude, some inconsiderate, some just plain stupid. I've seen it -

I know what they go through. Of course, maybe it's me, but I very rarely

have those kinds of problems where everything's wrong, and I rarely get bad

service. It's a fallacy that the customer is always right.
