To shave your toes?

SNORT!!!

Yep that's us here CA State Workers. We have to take 2 furlough days per month (most of us will do First and Third Friday of the month, but since I work at Cal-Fire we might eventually get to choose our two days as some of us already are allowed this).

That is a 10% pay cut for all of us. However the Governator gave us a choice... Furloughs or watch all your friends get fed to Unemployment line (20% by Seniority). That wouldn't have been me, but I'd rather take a little piece of the pie than see some of us without jobs all together.

It just sucks all the way around.

Ugh, I am really sorry, that sucks. I really hope this plan keeps folks out of the unemployment line! Did I hear that Cali was one of the states having to ask the Federal govt for assistance b/c they were tapped out?

So I was asking the kiddies what they wanted to get their Daddy for his birthday and DD promptly answers me with "Deodorant and a nipple ring".

OMG that is awesome!! Do you have any idea where these ideas came from?

I know the northerners don't wanna hear this but I am kind of getting sick of the teen temperatures. We aren't used to this BS in the south!

PJTP- I mentioned before my company 'restructured' and my position was eliminated. Well they cancelled my insurance effective the same day they let me go.... Well my daughter (16) decided to run around in the dark on a hill with her friends. What she thought was a 12" drop was a 15' drop... Now she has a broken foot and best of ALL! It was 12 hours after being let go and they cancelled the insurance and refuse to pay... Gets better... We leave for hawaii on Thursday. YAY ME!

Well my brother has a nipple piercing so I think that is where that part came from...the deodorant maybe because it is a practical gift. Or maybe she thinks he smells.

It is -3 out here today. Windchill is -15. Global warming my butt.

i know the feeling... of course, its pic overload ... im expecting to get comments that say STOP POSTING PICS OF YOUR SON... WE GOT IT!!!

Was cruising by and saw your post. DH is CalFire as well. What part of the dept. are you in? He's at a station so they can't actually TAKE the days off, so they get the 10% pay cut and work the 2 days for free. Supposedly they'll get to take the days off later, after this is all over but ALL of them will have a whole 2yrs to each take an extra 30-some days off. Yeah, ain't gonna happen! AND I don't hear the legislators taking a hit like we are. Just the peons that make the state function are getting it in the @ss! Can you tell I'm ticked! LOL!

Hope you're ok thru this. It's going to be tough for us. Scary.

Best wishes thru this nightmare!

Yes, he is one of the people I mentioned gets to choose his fate rather than just accept it. Yes, the Legislators don't get the pinch, in fact I'm sure they will be rewarded like the FatAss Bankers on a job well done.

It sucks but it sure beats not being unemployed.

Ugh, I am really sorry, that sucks. I really hope this plan keeps folks out of the unemployment line! Did I hear that Cali was one of the states having to ask the Federal govt for assistance b/c they were tapped out?

Yes, we are. In the mean time Cali pays no bills. To anyone. For any reason. Not even sure I will get a paycheck this month. LOL

I'm back. The doctor said I was too tight and took out .5 cc which took me down to 4.5. He said I'd lost 12 lbs since my last visit on 12/2 and was happy that I'd lost an overall 35 lbs since my surgery date in July. He said that was a good rate of loss for me. I told him of the 12 lbs lost, that the majority of that was by Christmas and I've only lost about 1 or 2 lbs since Christmas. He raised his eyebrows at that and said I need to be keeping a food diary because I shouldn't have had a stall for that long.

He said my band probably tightened up since I've been under stress. He told me wait until the stress goes down and I feel back to normal and we'll recheck to see if I need another adjustment. He said the pouch looked fine and there was no dilation or slippage. He gave me the picture to take home with me.

Donna, I'm glad to hear there doesn't appear to be any major damage at this time. Any way you can post the pic?? LOL

What does this post mean? Pics from your surgery looks like babies butts??? Me=confused.

PJTP - After all the bad news I've read, I hate to tell this but I'm about to pop and I can't tell anyone at work so I'll apologize now.

There was an introduction of a new mentor/mentee program at work that I applied for. I found out today that I was one of 10 that got accepted!!! I'm really psyched! :biggrin:

[MacMadame 81]

I found out yesterday that my boss is a back-stabbing jerk.
