WHAT A WEEK

[sportsmom]

My goodness what a week I have had........First of all it was nice to end up with a four day weekend (over 4th of July weekend) as some of my co-workers wanted my days . I go into work Tuesday and everything is going good then my boss has to talk to a couple of men he had an appt with so I said no problem.......well after an hour or so he comes back and I said glad to see you back to work ;D ;D ;D and then he wants to talk to me and another co worker in the office ~~~so we go in and then my boss drops a bomb on us~~~~~our c-store, gas station and resturant has been sold to a bigger corporation (WESCO). I started crying immediately . I am so close to my co workers and my boss (we are always saying we are each others husband and wife at work because that is exactly how we get along ;D ;D) The take over is going to happen very fast (July 29th). I have to fill out an application ( whats that-- ;D ;D ;D I only review them to hire someone). I will more then likely have a job as they want to keep as many of us as possible this is just a formality. My boss was very concerned about his top 5 employees that have been there the longest. I have been there the longest ~~~since before day one (10 1/2 yrs ago). I have been crying all week as I only have 3 days to adjust to all this because I am having surgery on Monday. So on top of worrying about my surgery(which I am getting very nervous about) I am worrying about my job and what is going on at work. Luckily I got to talk to the 2 men before they left and explained about my surgery and they said that it was no problem and from what little they have already talked to me they want very much for my to stay (I HOPE they just aren't saying that). I have to do my interview on Friday~~~First of all I hope I can take a shower by then ;D second I hope I am not very medicated as I know the pain is going to be much worse this second time around . I feel bad because this is all happening so fast that I just start crying at the drop of a hat One good thing is Levi is going to get an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen for his birthday~~my dh said he would pick one out for him when I get discharged from the hospital. Sorry to ramble I just have so many thoughts going thru my head~~I am trying to get it all together so I can first concentrate on my surgery and get better~~it is more important now then ever that this 2nd surgery works now that I will have a new employer (hopefully). Another thing is I want Levi to have a good birthday~~I just hope dh can pull it off

:-XCheryl...You really need to focus on your surgery.....fill me in again about it.

Change is hard,but I think you really do have your job. You have been there a long time and have a good record. Make up your mind to adjust to the changes....I know it will be hard.

I worked for my first boss(principal) for 7 years and was very close to her. We became friends. Then she left for bigger and better things and was replaced with another principal. It was really hard for awhile but I did adjust.

You can do it girl

Cheryl; good luck to your surgery(was it your wrist?)

Like Linda said, I think you´re on the safe side with your job, long, good record, you know the work...I know you´re nervous, but I keep my thump´s up for you

And lot´s of GOOD LUCK for your surgery

Good luck with your surgery...and the job change. Bobo has been thru many of them as dealerships tend to change hands often and I know how nerve wrecking it will be for you and your whole family. Change is very hard but just try to be patient and not stress too much.
I hope all goes well. It sounds like you are very qualified
and wouldn't have much trouble finding a great job no matter what happens. (Bobo laughingly calls the changes "upgrades" in his life while I stress at home.)
We'll be praying for ya.

Thanks everyone for the good thoughts. I know change is good and this new company has so much more to offer us then what we had before~~~my boss keeps reminding me of this. The one bright spot is I will be going thru this with my co workers as well~~~we are each others support group. This whole thing was just so out of center field. You see I KNOW EVERYTHING that goes on at work (and around town for that matter ) and I didn't even pick up on any clues. My boss was very surprised that I didn't suspect a thing.

As for my surgery last June I had arthroscopic surgery on my left shoulder to remove a bone spur. Well a year after surgery and lots of physical therapy I don't have much relief so now we are doing another arthroscopic surgery and this time they are going to cut off some of my shoulder bone~~maybe an inch or so (which is full of arthritis) so in addition to the 3 small scars I have they are going to cut them open again and 2 more. I have to be at the hospital at 615 am as surgery is set for 740 am. It should take 1 1/2 to 2 hrs and after being in recovery for an hour or so I should be released to come home around 100pm. My whole left arm will be 4-5 times bigger then normal because of all the liquid they use. The worse part will be how numb it will be ( I hate that feeling which is why I will be sure to take my meds so I won't feel it come back to normal~~~ah meds they are looking good all the time ;D ;D ;D ). My stepmom and dad gave us their old recliner (my dad had to get one of those lift chairs for his parkinsons so I got the old one) which will come in great use because last time I didn't have one and it was a pain to get out of bed and down the stairs just to go potty ;D ;D.

Here I am rambling again~~~anyways thanks for the upbeat words I will be needing them for the next week to come
