Topic: Turned them down
OK, I am nuts, I was offered my old job back, but after careful consideration turned them down. I miss dispatching way more then I thought I would.. it really gets in your blood! BUT when I thought of going back, knowing the people I would be working with, second shift has the ones with attitude problems towards the guys in the field and they are just flat out miserable people and after a while, that would wear on me and bring me down then I would be miserable too, and I am a happy person by nature.. and since I beleive everything happens for a reason.. not taking my old job back has worked out in the romance dept too.. I met a reat guy on line and he lives in the same town!! he works day shift and if I had taken second, we would never have time together.. we are having a great time together, and I am enjoying the work I do for now.. so it is all good!!!

Topic: Fired for being pregnant!!!!
Well folks, as the title says, I was fired after I told my dept I'm pregnant! Of course they deny that being the reason but I know it was. I'm suing them for wrongful termination under NJ's anti-discrimination laws. I don't think the borough administrator took me seriously when I told him my attorney would be contacting them, so they're all in for a pretty nasty shock in the next few days. I want them to realize that they can't treat people this way and expect to get away with it. I'm so tired of people who believe they can trample on the rights of others without any consequences. This is the happiest time in my life, and that bunch of male, chauvinist, pigs will not take that from me. My baby is an amazing gift from God, and I am so grateful for this little life inside of me. I'm going to have to find a new job, which won't be easy. But, I'll make it through. I think it's time for a job with a steady shift now that it won't be just the two of us anymore. I'm going to try and find a nice, quiet, office job somewhere.
Okay, that's enough of my ranting for now. I'm hungry

HI Brianna!!!
I've been working like a dog lately!!!! It's been busy, busy, BUSY...but slowing down a bit now that the little darlings are back in school and the weather is getting cooler.
How are things with you?
Are you back to dispatching?
We've got a group of folks from the WLS Singles board coming in next month to Chicago for a get-together...should be a blast!
I've checked in on the boards once in a while, but haven't been online that much.
Drop me a line and let me know what's up with you.
take care,
Paula

Topic: I may be getting back into dispatching...
Am I nuts, most likly.. I have heard through the grapevine that my former bosses are once again scrmbling for people, they hadone guy leave 2 weeks after I did (he just up and quit one day) another girl is leaving in 2 weeks, to move to FL.. and they were aleady short when I left.. soooo, one of the guys approached me abotu coming back, said he talked tothe Dep Driector and he told him to tell me to fill out an application.. so I took it in today. In spite of allt he major BS I had to deal with, I enjoyed the job and I MISS IT.. so I am hoping they will take me back, under the condition that I cannot work a permamnet overnight shift (every once in a while would be o.k.) I will most likely get stuck on 4-12.. but we will see what happens... worst they can say is NO, and I will be stuck working at the convenience store.. cross your fingers
Topic: RE: 2 weeks and counting...
HI Dina,
Yes, I am gone.. July 15th was my last and I miss it
The Deputy Director was going to move me, but the Director said NO! The guy who trained me went to the Dir and confronted him about the way they were letting me go, which made me feel good, it is nice to know I was appreciated by someone. I am now searching for a job and am going out of my mind from the boredom. The stress level is a bit high as well, not so much for the lack of cash flow right now, but the lack of health coverage (I can't afford the 443 a month for COBRA) In the end it will all work out, it usually does.. and I cling to my belief that everything happens for a reason.. so say a prayer for me, and I will drop back when I can, I am hardly on line these days at all, even with all my spare time. Of course, I am keeping busy doing things around the house, but it isn't the same as a job...
take care
Brianna
