Saga of my week.

I had a trying week. I got sick in mist of my daughter recovering from oral surgery. Then yesterday my job laid alot of people off which I guess no one was anticipating. While thankfully I was not it has made me anxious and sad for upcoming changes as well as just those it affected. So it's been a crazy week which so much more happened really.

That is a great deal of trauma. I will be praying for your strength and wellness as you take one step at a time.

I can relate to how you’re feeling about your job. I’m in a bad place mentally because there are so many big changes happening at work and I’m afraid my position isn’t safe.

I can easily find work but I prefer to stay here till at least my youngest graduates high school. I think I just feel bad so many lost their jobs. Then yeah many changes and see how it all goes. I’m thankful but a lot of anxiety

Yes Serenity. It is an emotional time even if it’s not you but others who lose their jobs.
So that’s a lot to go through.
I hope Deja is feeling better.

personnel changes make me even more anxious than losing a job. i am confident in my ability to get another job. dealing with the intensity charges of shifting players/responsibilities is even more ominous than job hunting.

a new academic year is gearing up here. less than 2 weeks until the first day. talk about personnel changes! ! ! a new bus driver. . . 3 sets of new teachers. . . big bro has a whole new school (junior high), etc., etc. can't we just have a redo of last year? better yet, can we backpeddle to where all 3 munchkins were adorable babies and i was just a grandma?

vent, vent, gnarl gnash. . .
sigh. . . onward through the fog.

Serenity, I'm sorry that you are having a rough week. Being sick is no fun but especially when it is bad timing.
