00W's AIO Smorgasbord

Morning All,

Took a quick look at the vast amount of pages I am behind on. I know I missed a lot, so sorry if I didn’t mention something specific for you:

Kev - my infusion buddy: praying this cycle gets you were you need to be and that you can reduce or eliminate steroids. Looks like we might have to compare hospital gowns soon.

Frank: hope you and the pups are staying as warm and dry as you can. And that you got some decent REM.

Katrina: very excited to hear about that very new career opportunity- they know they would be lucky to get you - don’t low-ball your package!

Amanda: As a career recruiter, I absolutely want to hear about someone’s hobbies/passions in an interview. I’m trying to ***** the whole person, not just a set of skills that check off the bullets on the job description. Also, how are clownfish?

Tim: unfortunately, your HR rep can really put a wrench in your well-documented PIP of an employee, when they are inexperienced and/or go the pure legal route to protect company. More and more that logical RL assessment of a situation is going away in HR. My only recommendation is continue to document daily, including an email after an in-person or phone conversation with this employee- citing what was said, agreed upon, and any action items. Also, if you can pull in an HR manager that you respect and have a great relationship with that helps. I realize you are doing all of this already and don’t need me to suggest stuff; just wanted you to know you ARE doing exactly what you need to!

Joel, just hoping you can get a break and replenish the soul. And that someone would cook you a lovely meal.

Remi, things seem good?

Ocean, glad your doing ok and want to hear about a moment you took time just for yourself this week.

Parker: Did I miss your posts? Haven’t heard since you started Spring Break. You tired of us old folks who act like a bunch of surrogate parents?!?

Sleeping Giant/Lowell Lemon/Walker: didn’t see anything from ya all, but hope your week is a fruitful one!

Goaway: exciting times in the he who shall not be named threads. Just wanted you to know you continue to make me snort out loud and on occasion spit a lovely cup of tea (with Becky’s honey), all over the table when I read your posts.

I know I’m missing key people- so,sorry.

Back to visiting with brother; he brought his computer and we have been playing WoW till 1am! Can’t even express how much that means to me.
Also, picking up an UBER walker today! Likely check into hospital this weekend for further assessment of femar(s); looks like I might become the 6 million dollar man with some rods and screws to secure the leg.
So very glad you are having an amazing time with your brother! Hope things go well at the hospital for you this weekend. I did share a little about my hobbies but not too much I think overall I think it went well. It's a type of work I don't have a lot of experience in but hopefully my wonderful happy personality will win them over and the fact that I speak Spanish is a plus with them. My clownfish are doing great so far and continue to beg for food anytime they see me near the QT tank.
 
@ESABOE honestly my challenges are small compared to most of the challenges you, Kevin, Katrina, Frank, and others here face everyday. So I just watch and read most of the time and say many prayers for you all. Wishing you all the best day today!
 
Good morning y'all!

Psshhh. You've got this! Hell, most of us will end up with a hip replacement too! Don't let this define you. You are a smart, strong, beautiful person. We can even find a reef tattoo to cover the scars!
 
Are you ok?
Yeah, I am fine. It was very small here, only some minor shaking. I hope everyone's all right that was near the epicenter... pretty scary.

Thank @ESABOE ! I’m so happy you are spending time with your brother and his family. We have missed you on here. I think of you as more of Lindsey Wagner ( the bionic woman) than the six million dollar man. Still praying hard for you.
 
@ESABOE
Jennifer you're courage, strength and beauty are something the world needs more of.
You are in my prayers every day.
When we go to that Dodger game, you're allowed to make me some tacos ;)
I'll take a Corona with those too....
 
No, but I just saw that on my newsfeed!
Glad Steve Austin’s injury happened in the 70’s. In this crappy economy and inflation he would have been the 6 trillion dollar man. I don’t think they would have rebuilt him. :crying-face:

Yes!!! I would be humbled and honored to make you a meal - especially if it’s Tacos!

Oh it’s just my brother you came to visit- so actual 1;1 time.

I hated Lindsey Wagner - couldn’t act and her “bionics” were lame - lol.

I’ll be Serena Williams as she’ll get that latest robotic tech when her knees give out - course that won’t be till she’s like 80! I love her.

Yep. I actually have a pretty good relationship with her and she's in favor of "opening up his opportunities for employment elsewhere" but she wants to be sure legal is 100% going to support the decision which I can understand. But when he has lied to me TWICE that I have found in the last 3 weeks alone...

Would you be suggesting a tailspot tattoo?!?!? Hahaha

Thank you sweetie!
