Hi Lost Girl,
thanks for jumping in, it's good to "talk" to you...
Our sitchs are a LOT alike arent they? right down to the time frames, I noticed you even "joined" the bb about the same time I did. I hope you are right that it is a stage of the healing process, but I'm kind of thinking it has to be, because I also hear a lot of similar things here.

I find it interesting about the work situations going down the tubes. i know the contributed to h'S, he's been here 16 years and always been one of the top performers....all of a sudden that just "tanks"??? me thinks not! I don't know if I ever posted here, but H mentioned a few weeks ago that OW had to meet with the HR director about her job performance, but that a corrective action plan hadnt been done. So, OW's performance must have tanked as well. I can't say mine's been what it was, but maybe I've not been as far off....
H also mentioned that you can't take vacation if you're on corrective action or probation....I don't know how he'd know that, I didn't even know that...so maybe they've put OW on something....oh darn, the poor baby.

I am struggling big time with the issues of WHEN and HOW to ask for what I need.....I MUST be able to do that...I'm NOT going to go back to the "same old same old"....I just don't know When I get to do that??????obviously it wasnt this morning duh. I have to admit that was poor timing on my part. I don't know HOW long we keep letting things slide....My only consolation is what MF mentioned earlier, to remember how far we have come in the last year and 6 months. That truely is HUGE and gives me some hope to cling to.

I can't see that this roller coaster has slowed down much at all.


been around awhile!
