 The boss came in today for the first time since I came onboard last Tuesday. We talked for an hour and got everything resolved that needed to be addressed at this time. I feel sooooo much better and the deep dark stuff seems to have lifted so it was situational exacerbated by the BP.

Thanks to everyone for the support and encouragement. It's an hour drive each way and I'm there by 7:15 and home around 7pm so I apologize for not having the time to get on here like I want. I'll try to catch up this weekend. Thx again all.

 Good to hear an update from you, Lobo. I am happy to hear you were able to talk about the issues that were bothering you at work. Happy you are having some positive feedback. Hang in there! I am sure the hours, the drive and just plain stress of your new job can tack on some stressors to your life. Hope you have the time to do something fun this weekend. We have missed you here! Keep up the progress!
Nature's first green is gold
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
The leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

 Lobo,

Great to hear! Hope this gives you some peace from the difficult thoughts. I start a new, temporarily 2nd job next week. I was persuaded that I had the skills to do it and hope I fell that I do when I get there. Hope you have a CD player in the car (I don't, the FM has broken, so all I have left is the 'golden oldie' station). Arghhh!

 ((Lobo)), that is wonderful.. glad to hear the job is straightening out, it's tough when there is a lot of unanswered questions..

Pick yourself out a couple of different ways of getting to work, this way you can vary and make life a little bit more interesting, I had like 3 ways I could go, when I was having to work in Greenville, a hours drive each way, I tried them all and found the one I liked the most, tree lined and very little traffic..and that was the one I took most of the time, bad weather I took a different one. Made the commute easier..

Keep us posted as to how things are going..

 Thanks for the congrats and fizz you're gonna do fine. Thanks carmen for the suggestion and I coincidentally and accidentally came a different way and saved about 4 of 5 minutes. Take care and thanks again.

I stay home all the time makes me think to much ,I prefer to keep my mind busy on other things if I can . Busy thought's instead of just wondering around everything .Have a great day ! And thank you for the jennifer annistin comment that was very sweet , I wish it were true lol Laurie

 I can sit and ruminate easily too and it's a killer for sure. I can get fixated on something and analyze every damn second of the day that I take all the life out of it. Not hawing a job was tough. Thanks.
