they either need chocalate or as a friend of mine once said, they need their toes curled <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Lisa, Jelly's lick to you made me laugh out loud.

It'll be fine - I know I was only at my job 7 years but the friends I'd made there had been like family too me.

My last day was a hoot. I went to lunch with "the group" and they all had to go back to work but I stayed on with a couple of the "stayers" and got back to work at 4.00. Boss was out of town because of a family crisis which was a shame because he couldn't wait to give me a "roasting" at my leaving party. The temp who was taking over my job asked me where to file something. I said (or rather slurred) "to tell you the truth I don't remember."

And then the big leaving party. It was all wonderful. I still keep in touch with my friends. Best thing I ever did - getting away from the memories and all the other crap that went with it.

I'll give you a lick too. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Jenny...There are many here that won't be sorry to see me leave but there are some special ones too that have expressed their sorrow at my leaving so it's all good, I suppose. I've always had this insidiuos obsession with wanting everyone to like me and that is something that I can't worry about <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Lisa, I STILL always have the need for everyone to like me. If someone doesn't like me I take it as a personal insult.

I think it's just the type of personality we are. Or it could and probably does go back to our childhood. It wasn't my parents who brought me down, but my older sister.

Heck, I don't want to get into that here.

I vote for some more lickings. Here's one for Cello. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Lisa and Jenny, if I could hand out a little card, like a business card to everybody I meet and know, that read...

Do you like me, check yes or no
If not, please tell me why, so I can MAKE YOU

I would so do that.

Dear Lisa,

How are things going at the moment since your last posts?

Just wanted you to know am thinking of you, and care how you are getting on.

Please post when you can,

Kas <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

BV...feeling much better today. Jelly's "licks" have cheered me up!!! I tell you, I don't know quite what I would do if it weren't for MB. No matter what time of day I need a friend, there is always someone there. What a blessing!!!

Lisa,

Oh, How soon this will all be over & You can finally turn the page. Come on TGIF! Twice.

However,
I'd be interested in your H feelings and reactions to your moving on.

I know for me it was one of the BEST Days ever, once my W and OM were not working together Anymore. Those were dark days indeed.
YOU can't know the sinking feeling knowing your own W is off to work each morning to go and spend the bulk of her day with the OM.(Now that is what you can call insanity).
It just keeps the specter of the OM alive and well...giving him a continued power and presence far past where it should have ended.

Even though you not gone yet, just being in the process of leaving must be picking him up. That you would Do this.. for him... for you & for the M speaks volumes.
I trust he is getting this message as well.
As someone who's been in that situation, I will thank you for him. THANKS!
It is a wonderful gift that he is getting. To finally be free of the OM. Doesn't get much better then that. (Can't be bad for you either).

Hope time is flying by for you.

top rope....I think my H is relieved somewhat. He isn't one to really voice his feelings but I know that if I was the BS I would be happy. Our 24th wedding anniversary is coming up July 11th <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> !!

Dear Lisa,

Glad that things are going ok in the last few days of your job.

Happy anniversary for the 11th July! Have you got anything planned for it?

I know what you mean about always finding someone here to encourage you or cheering you up.

It's what keeps me going on, and I believe God led me to this site!

Take care and keep in touch,

Kas <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

ok...jelly, anybody out there....please make me laugh. 4 more days here, but today has been awful. Said goodbye to three people who won't be here next week. <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" />

Hi, I'm here. You can do it. Next week is a 4 day week. You are almost done.

Make you laugh, hmmm, I have nothing. Sorry.

I could lick you again, you did enjoy it before and Jenny really enjoyed it. I think she is a bit of a pervert, what do you think?

Hey, did you hear, I almost saved somebody's life yesterday. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Jelly

You're nearly there Lisa.

Believe me, believe me, believe me you will feel good about it when you're gone.

And that little Yellow Critter calling me a pervert. Hmmpf, it takes one to know one. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Jenny

Jelly...Whose life did you almost save???

Hi Jenny!! Thanks for the encouragment. Friday was horrible. I felt like my heart was breaking. One of the men that I had to say goodbye to has been like a father to me. He told me that he thought I was making a big mistake.

I know he means well but I so didn't need to hear that from him <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> He told me that he thought I was making a big mistake. </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">That's his opinion...
but, I'm sure it is not based on all the facts, because I bet he does not have all the facts!

You KNOW it is not a big mistake!

Susan

I agree with Susan, it is NOT a big mistake.

It will be the best thing you have ever done.

Jenny

I'm sure your friend meant well, but He is sooo wrong.
Unofortunately, he doesn't SEE all the angles as we do here.
(He probably just sees the money/career aspect).

We all know the A was THE Mistake.

This is simply one of the actions needed to help correct That mistake.
Tell him it may be a consequence, but not a mistake.

It won't all be easy, but your just days away now....so hang in there, OK?
Hey, at least its a short week!
