  • Re: The Good Thoughts and Prayers Needed Thread 2

    Friend of mine who is like a brother to me found out he had cancer last Friday. Today some of the biopsy results came back and he has metastatic lung cancer or in other words advanced cancer. 55 years old with 2 kids and a wife of 25 years. Would appreciate if you could mention him in your prayers. Thanks.

          Good luck with that, and it's nice to know that the extra hours are the result of promotions rather than turnover.
          Got a formal rejection today, with the typical "we'll keep your resume on file" pablum.

            To be fair, places will use resumes that they already have before seeking new ones... That's how I came about my post college internship and my current position... I had previously interviewed and been passed over for someone else.... Things had changed with the choice they went with, so they came back to me...

                  Had my yearly evaluation today at work. Was rated as a "solid performer," was told I "work very hard," and will be given a raise. Not only that, I will be given temporary full time status, due to the fact we are very short on cart people. The only thing I was told to work on was to "maintain a positive attitude during stressful situations."

                      Way to go! Keep up the good work. Being a hard worker pays off in many ways.

                        So much for that. All the hours I was promised? They're doing payroll cuts, which means hours are being slashed again. This is what I get for taking my bosses at their word.

                        SO... time to dig deep, and keep looking for full time work.

                          Asking for some good thoughts, prayers, vibes whatever. Having to make some major decisions and changes in the career track. Know it is for the best but right does not always feel comfortable.
                          Thanks all.

                              If your thoughts about your career are as thoughtful as your posts, I'm sure whatever decision you make will be a good one.

                                That is an ugly thought
