Ok, all you people who've made Resolutions out there. . . we're just about halfway through the first month of the year. . . How are you doing??? Or have you slacked off and fallen back into the old patterns??? HUH??? Well come on. . . you can do it. . . you know that in the end, you'll be better for it!!! BTW, I've made some myself, and find myself lapsing a little, thought it might help to start a little discussion on this, so perhaps we might try to encourage each other!!!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------- < !signature--> To the world, you may only be one person.

Well, I resolved not to work for minimum wage for a position where I have prior work experience, skills, and expertise, even for the customary 90-day probationary period. To pay a skilled worker subsistance wages, if even that, is criminal. So to that end, I walked off the job Monday, didn't go in yesterday, and will formally quit today. Hastings Entertainment is actually a good place to work, but morale is always low when you have a skin-flint bean-counter as your store manager. Getting a raise from him is harder than getting water from a stone. When I go in to formalize all the paperwork, I will give him a dime....that's the standard raise.

Right on, Ali! Just don't end up like me: knowing you're worth nine bucks an hour but unwilling to take a new job that can only start you at seven. . .Great resolution, though. Good luck! |

I think that will be plenty. . . ![]() K, get up off of your rear and get moving!!!! Leave it to a slacker like you to try to find a loophole in this. . . sheesh!!!. . . LOL. . . this is only for people who are serious about holding to their resolutions!!! *Sven just shakes his head in moderate disbelief and sighs deeply* *sigh*. . .

I didn't make any resolutions. Thought I'd just make all kind of healthy changes and surprise everybody. Forgot to start the healthy changes, now I just feel bad that there will be no surprise. |

Sven love, I resolved 1) To decide where I wanted to go in my life and get there 2) To be happy to stop thinking if I'd done this that or the other, and just accept that sometimes life is harder than others 3) To clear my life from all negative thoughts ideas. 4) To give as much love and friendship to those who I love, and tell them all often that they are so loved. And that was all, I'm having trouble mainly with the clearing of negativity, and to stop blaming myself for things. But otherwise, they are still there and ongoing. And Kari love, you know what I want for you to resolve, to keep flying high, to be as happy as you can be, and to just be you. And to never stop writing!! Take care love Mushy ![]() Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
