    Just know that I am not suicidal right now. My mood is still 3 out of a possible 10, so while it's not great, it's not desperation time yet either. As for the act of suicide itself, I agree with Dorothy Parker:
    Sounds like my good friend's Pain Clinic. Will return call in 24 hours--has happened once in 2 1/2 years after i got to office manager. Become a pest(my job)--is there a medicalassistant, office manager, or anyone else that sounds like they have some authority?

    Hope you have better luck today or tomorrow. You have a lot of people pulling for you.
    GO DU !!!

      I do know that they changed schedulers. The person that used to answer the phone is not there any more, which is a shame, because she was good. She never failed to return a call.

        Glad you tried. Squeaky wheel gets the grease. OK to call again. Tell them your friends are all urging you to call. You can always say your NP friend was up your but to call

          Since they didn't call today, I'll try again in the morning.

              If they keep ignoring my phone calls, I'm not hesitant to leave them and go back to my old counselor. Bear in mind I have no issues with the counselor herself, but I do have issues with the office. What kind of office doesn't return phone calls?

              In the meantime, I'll just try riding it out. I can run and exercise, I have cuddles with the cats...

                For some reason, thinking of sitting inside a blanket fort, listening to Cloud Cult, Motion City Soundtrack, and maybe Florence and the Machine is elevating my mood from a 3 to a 3.5, maybe a 4. That's just the thought of it. Now imagine ACTUALLY sitting inside a blanket fort and listening to music... that would bring it to a 4.5, maybe a 5. Oooooh.

                  Bob - I know how you feel. Just keep chugging away at what you are doing. You might think it is a waste of time, but is will be worth it. I was unemployed for 10 months. I had to deal with 4 rejections in one week. That did hurt, but I still kept chugging. Not just beer, but applying anywhere and everywhere. Do not give in. Just keep swimin'. Keep the head afloat! I am here for you if you need anything.

                    I finally reached a LIVE person at my doctor/counseling office and managed to schedule a counseling appointment for next week Wednesday. I wanted to rip into the behavioral health nurse, but I held my tongue...

                    Also, I have an interview with Designer Shoe Warehouse Friday at 2:30.

                      Re: The Good Thoughts and Prayers Needed Thread 2

                      Good news: Sam's Club held open interviews today for a bunch of positions, including lot associate (carts and front end garbage). My old boss clued me into the interviews, and she thought I'd be good for the carts. So after the interview today, which I passed, she (or someone from Sam's Club) will be calling for next steps, including a drug screen and background check.

                      It's not much, and it starts on a 90 day probationary period, but at least it's 90 days of work, and I can look for other positions elsewhere while working for Sam's Club.

                            Sounds like a good opportunity! Praying it all goes well for you!

                              Can't do much with the tree gods for you my friend ( ), but I'll be sending up prayers for your mother-in-law and you and your wife.

                                Also, this is good: My dad talked to the prosecutor's office, we should be getting our car out of impound this week, as early as Wednesday. So far, there have been no charges filed, but we're waiting for the official word.
