Savannah,
Subject: My bi-yearly "I love you guys" thread!

 This started out as my daily blog, but I decided to post it as a thread....what a great thing this BT place is.

 JOB UPDATE:  To all of you sweet people following my plight the last year, here's a recap:

-April/May: Kicked out my husband, but lost my status as Trophy Wife.

-Tried to be a stock broker with Smith Barney but failed the broker's exam by one question.

-Decided to personal train/teach aerobics full time.  Got lots of good training in, but couldn't teach enough classes to pay the bills.

-Took a holiday temp job as a UPS lady, an experience (in humility) that I wouldn't trade for the world.

-After months of interviews, took a job as a logistics export specialist.....My last day was Friday, it was 12hr/day cube hell and my kids were suffering.

-AND THE LATEST.....my old boss called me (from my last job before I started pro-creating) and told me that my old job just came open.  PR/Marketing/Special Events/Fundraising for a large local non-profit.  It pays a good bit more than the job I just quit, has great hours (8:30-4:30) and I know everyone there already. 

Soooooo.......in a way, I'm right back where I started.  In a really good way I'm getting a do-over.  I feel more content and happy than I have since all this stuff started.  Thanks to all my BT buddies for reminding me that it will get better and that everything will be okay.  Rick, Renee, Wendi, Cracker, Doug, Chippy, Mike, Comet, Kevin, Possum, and the remarkabley deep and insightful Welshy.  ANd if I left anyone out it's only because my coffee was weak this morning. 

So this is my bi-yearly....."I love you guys" post. Thanks!

Thats all most as heart warming as when the guys from Average Joes one the dodgeball championship. But really, very happy things are going so well for you. Will you still dress up in the U.P.S. outfit and post pictures once in awhile?

A tough, character-building year for sure, but sounds like things are working out.

Good luck with the new/old job, Shannon.

YAY! I was just wondering how the new gig was going. i was going to guess 'not great' because of the lack of posting, but clearly the universe was just giving you a chance to tide over until the right job came along.

 

We love you too, baby. Glad it is all working out!

It's funny how things always work out in the end.     

But, you have to do something about weak coffee.

...and may I add that through it all you were upbeat, positive , and refused to participate in the pity party poo poo boo hoo. You could always manage a smile and cause all of us to smile.

They say that adversity builds solid character and I agree but I also know that having good character enables you to survive the hard times. You personify that truth.

Hang tough girl. You're one in a million and you're destined for good things.

Love ya,  deCracker

YAY! You do the same kind of cheerleading for us too, y'know.

And Welshy's depth is remarkable, eh?

That's not what I meant!  ALthough that's the word on the street....Hollis, you consistently and purposely make me blush.

Huh - while I will admit that my depth is remarkable, my breadth is truly something to behold.

 

 

I'm very happy for you, Goddess.
