Or maybe,
What am I going to possibly do with all the money that new $300,000 a year job is paying me, <sigh> !
Well, it could happen.......................... :razz:
Wow, Rae! I remember "meeting" you on the thread where you were complaining about the dirty work you were being given right off the bat at this job, and it just never got better, did it? I'm impressed that you have managed to make so many friends in such a yucky environment. I know it must suck to not have a choice in the matter, but really does sound like this may be for the best.
Good luck!
Now, that's smart thinkin'!
Go give those babies some Auntie Rae hugs.
I'm all excited and smiling for Auntie Rae. You've earned a bit of time off, girl.
I'm a thong! Yippee! That was fun!
P. S. Thanks, Terry!
Oh, a little thong sisterhood here already.
hehehehehe
looks like we'll be ordering a case of thongs! :wink:
Rae, wow, good for you. I do hope your next position is a wonderful experience. You sure deserve it. It would be hard for me to slough off the emotional baggage from what you've been through.
Like ehBeth told me, "Be good to yourself."
Thank, ehBeth. The two hour hot stone massage was wonderful.
Don't think I've been this relaxed since I was in the womb.
I finally got around to decorating my office. It's nice and cheery.
I'm going to see a play tonight with a dear friend.
Next week I'm taking three days off work to quit smoking; actually the best way for me to "increase" my income is to "decrease" my expenses.
When I quit, I won't have any trouble getting by with the income I now receive.
I'm going to be aggressive about this, sitting in the hot tub and sauna to sweat out toxins, going to my office and doing some yoga, singing to my favorite songs, drinking lots of water, et cetera.
I'm going to treat this like a three-day job which will pay me about $1,920 a year for life.
Three days because that's how long it takes to get the addiction out of your system. It takes twenty-eight days to break the part that's become a habitual behavior.
I'm armed with cloves for my mouth and Vick's to mask any hint of other people's tobacco.
The Chinese offer a potent mixture of lavender and such that you sniff whenever you have a craving.
Any cheap tricks you may know of would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Good for you, dupre!
I'm giving up the smokes, too. Twelve more days with the program I'm using.....ahhhhh.....Good luck to you!
G'day, dupre.
It sounds like you've got some good plans.
Congrats and Applause!
Thanks. I appreciate your support, more than you know.
Dupre, you're going to make it, I can tell by your plans and schemes that you are determined. Good for you!
That's also how I was when I quit, I knew there was no going back, and I knew whatever discomfort I would feel at any given moment, was temporary.
I thought too of all the benefits of quitting, a lot more than we can even imagine.
So go for the gold girl, and pat yourself on the back, because you've already mentally quit, and that's the 90% of the battle!
Dupre--The toughest part, I think, is quitting mentally. I set my sights on the $40 a month discount on my health insurance...it basically worked...
Wow, thanks! I'm looking at Thursday to be the starting day, since I will be between projects at work. The last thing I want to do is try to live me regular schedule, too many programmed times to smoke.
Like Misti said it's just three days.
Then, on Sunday, I'm going to see my mom till Tuesday. That should help. No one there smokes, so it'll be all fresh air and no scheduled "time to smoke" signals.
I'll start by cleaning out the car and throwing away the nasty ashtrays, then treating myself to the sauna and hot tub.
Yea! What a wonderful three special days I have planned for myself.
Now . . . where are my old Linda Ronstadt and Aretha tapes???
