OhioSongbird September 27, 2020 Share September 27, 2020 (edited) Yay, MollyB!!!! So glad to hear that. Had to have a biopsy last year myself...all clear, thank you, Jesus. Still kickin' here in Ohio. Been super busy closing my shop. As of Oct 31st I am retiring! Woo-hoo!! Will still do eBay so I won't stop entirely. I will miss the customers but tired of the winter slog back and forth. Been selling my 50 yr LP collection to the local college kids. Just tickles me to death to see them into this stuff and most of them have excellent taste. Been doing my elder stateswoman/music mentor "Hey, if you like that check out this one..." thing. I don't have grandkids so I'm loving it. Still have about 2000+ albums (all genres and eras) and 45's. Been following y'all but everybody seems to be in kind a limbo with Covid (our area is still on the low side for cases), fires, hurricanes, floods, blizzards (just waiting for the fiery hail and the locusts, oy) not to mention the political front. 😟 Pray for a peaceful election, folks....but please go vote!!

He was a courageous defender of liberty, a patriot exercising his right to bear arms amid chaos in the streets.

jewel21 September 30, 2020 Share September 30, 2020 First off, congrats MollyB. Fingers crossed they got everything and you will be okay here on out. I'm happy to hear the surgery went well. This new job isn't going well. And it's not the job itself but the boss. He drives me nuts and stresses me out so much that I keep yelling and snapping at him. And that's not me. I suffer from anxiety and it's like he knows all the buttons to push to set me off and then I can't control myself. Today I walked in 5 minutes early and he's on the phone saying that I have to take the appointment and talk to the lady. But can I put my stuff down? Wash my hands? Pee? Punch in? His wife took the call and he was upset because it was supposed to be me scheduling the appointment and not her. Even his wife was like she just walked in, can she put her stuff away? Then he's constantly changing people's appointment times after they've already been confirmed. He tells me to call a lady confirmed for tomorrow at 1:30 and ask her to come in at 1 PM. I'm on the phone with her and she's confused thinking I want to schedule her for Friday and 3 PM. After straightening things out, she tells me she can't come for 1 PM and her appointment is at 1:30 and that's when she's coming. Meanwhile, he's standing next to me talking over me as I'm trying to listen to her and telling me to ask her to come at 11 AM instead. I tell him (in an annoyed tone) she's already confused and can't come at 1 PM because she lives far and there's construction and now you want me to ask her to come at 11 AM? So he's like fine, give me the phone, I'll ask her and she says no she can't come at that time. And then he calls me into the office to reprimand me. I can't keep speaking to him that way, maybe dentistry isn't for me if I can't handle stress, he loves me but he will fire me if need be, blah blah blah. I'm just so fed up. The only good thing about this job is it's a 15 minute walk from my house but I don't know anymore. And the eye place called and they're still up in the country and don't know when they will return if at all. They thanked me for a job well done and said they were going to give me my 4% and to do me, and find a job I love, and don't worry about them. So essentially I had two decent jobs before Covid, and now those both let me go and I'm stuck with this madness. Link to comment
