You and I both! I'm so ready for a change of jobs... and my employer just
announced 1000 more layoffs this month! Rumour has it this Friday. In
theory, my job is very safe, but you never know. Purrs to all those who
will no longer have a job.

Oh no! We'll be sending purrs that you keep your job for as long as you
want it, and purrs to those who are laid off that they'll find a better job
soon. The reason I don't complain too loudly is that right now any job is
better than no job!!

pain (either from the fibromyalgia, sore muscles, or - what I think is
probably the case - I have another kidney stone), so I'm feeling a bit
depressed myself.

Oh my goodness, I had no idea you were ill. Lots of healing purrs going
your way. Don't feel depressed (I know, easier said than done). Just
remember that you have lots of friends all over the world who are about
you. I hope you've sent Pam your snail address for the card exchange. It's
lots of fun! I promise to send some of Rufous' fur in the envelope...

I absolutely hate, loathe, and despise people who get all weepy about minor
problems and yet have found myself going home in tears Friday, Monday and
Tuesday. I think it's just a combination of frustration about my job, being
tired from working non-stop (no breaks even for lunch), and feeling lousy.
I started taking extra vitamins and gave myself a stern lecture, so
hopefully I'll start bucking up and quit whining.

I don't want to be overly dramatic and I honestly don't want people to
rush
to ask me to stay, I just wanted to be sure I'm not causing problems for
the
group - the absolute last thing I want to do. So, OK, thanks for the
honest
answer, Victor.

In all the years I've been posting on this group (hmmm... at least 5
years, might be more) we've never asked anyone to leave and we always beg
folks to stay.

That's the only real thing that was bothering me - that I might have, even
inadvertently, caused someone to leave the group. This group is about the
best support anyone could ask for and someone who is suffering a major loss
and depression *NEEDS* that kind of support, so Cheryl's leaving really
upset me.

Oh, I can't be a drama queen any more!!?? ; LOL, again, thanks Victor.

I'm glad you took it the way I meant it. The last thing I want is to add
to your problems!

Oh, I would much rather have honest and loving criticism than dishonest and
smarmy @$$ kissing any day of the week - I really do appreciate a needed
kick inthe keister.

*hugs*

Don't you dare drop out of the group just because someone in the group
had a chip on their shoulder. I was not in rpca when Eric was killed,
but I sent Cheryl purrs and hugs when she posted that it was his
birthday or the date of his death.

I sincerely doubt that there is anyone in this group or any other
group who has not lost a loved one, be it from an accident or natural
causes. I, for one, lost my DH and best friend of 46 years suddenly
from a pulmonary thrombosis after a relatively minor surgery.

Yes, you do grieve when you've lost someone, but after a period of
time you have to get on with your life. Most funeral homes have
support groups to help you through the grieving process.

Ok, it's time to get off the soapbox, and say again DON'T LEAVE THE
GROUP because of this!

A wise man talks because he has something to say;
a fool talks because he has to say something.

Thanks Nan - I guess I was just being a big ole drama queen (Victor had me
pegged to a tee ;) but, as I explained to Victor I love this group so much
I would throw myself on a live grenade to save it!! ;

I haven't heard back from Cheryl, and indeed she may have kill-filed me if
she thought I was attacking her. I only hope that others will be able to
get in touch with her and persuade her to come back to the group - it sounds
like she needs to be here if she is still in so much pain.

And yes, you're totally right in that we have all probably lost someone dear
to us - Tweed lost her Mum, Lois her son, I my Dad, and you your DH, so
Cheryl is not as alone in her loss as she may be feeling. I know of no
better support group than the people here who are all sensitive, kind, and
loving souls.

Hugs,

CatNipped - Paranoid?? No doubt it's that AWFUL boss of yours. Does
s/he have any cats? If not, we could fix that.

Nope, he is a spoiled brat rich kid and I would never do that to a perfectly
nice kitty! ;
