Hi all. Has the invitations gone out yet?
Saw the Dr today. He isn't sure exactly what's wrong but is sending me for MRI, didn't like what he saw on xray. Thinks I may have to see a back Dr, possible pinched nerve.
Have a great evening, hugs all

@Tabatha_Cain Thank you!! That's great you're already ahead of the curve with some of your work regarding getting your license!! I hope all of that continues to go well!

@Dianedoessmiles1 I love that!! I hope we will be able to celebrate for sure! Thank you for all the support!!

@LindieMaeP the cooler temps in the mornings are so nice, a little reminder that we are almost to fall, one more day!! just hope the weather follows suit for sure! We have a hot day today and tomorrow, then it drops down into the high 70s and low 80s with 50s in the mornings. Sounds like a dream now!


I am training on a new position at work. It actually intersects with my current position, doesn't come with a raise, but will be a much needed mental break to have interpersed with my other position. Plus, taking on new opportunities should hopefully mean a raise will follow within the next 6 months. I always get a little nervous during this part of training but know it will go well! Got up almost all of our decorations including the floating candles, and I will post pictures tomorrow!

It's 74 feels like 74 with a high of 99 for today. I AM: I accept myself for all of my great qualities and flaws. Ace Sharpening: You are not defined by your mistakes or struggles.

Good morning everyone.

Diane: we have not switched to heat yet. Only in the mornings right now

@Dianedoessmiles1 -Aw I am sorry your GGD is at risk. I hope she is super stubborn and pull through.

Good Evening Everyone!

Quick check-in as it is past my bedtime and still have lots to do before I can go to bed. Skimmed through all the posts. All workouts were completed. My first day of work went great! I have thought about going back to the basics and how I started but some of it doesn't fit anymore. I am slowly discovering my new why's to help inspire me.

@Kurtize , the invites will be out between Weds, likely Thurs perhaps for some, By Friday hopefully for others (Those waiting on theirs) you are likely now on your team? I sure hope they can figure out the pain for you! Depending on what the nerve is,, there are many targeted Youtube video (sit down my go to when it's a newer injury/condition I'm treating before I do stand up ones. If they offer PT I now make SURE the PT person has seen my xrays!! I've had a few who did not, that put me into worse pain.
@Lindiemaep ,, WOOHOO on the weather getting easier to move around in!! Here it's doing the same, but not enough for me to grab a coat,, YET!! How much snow does your area get a year (average) we are 61 I think. IT USED TO BE MORE! Tues night I tied in on ZOOM. I kept my camera off some, it was just to much. I 'm TRYING to feel better. Whatever this virus is its not being nice. Hopefully tomorrow I'll know if it is, or rather was covid or if it's just a weirdo virus. I am so hoping for the weirdo virus. i do not want to worry if it was covid (I am not any longer contagious) any long term damage as many of my younger friends have now.
@cosmiccurves ,,, OF COURSE!! ENJOY the training. I did a job with the city of Portland that they combined my job with a harder one (THAT I NEVER WANTED!) and did not give me a raise. Once I trained, I went in to talk to my supervisor, explained to her what ways it was now different, how much more it was on me, how combining 2 jobs into one just meant some things could not be done efficiently, I wanted a raise too. I was AMAZED (she was a very strict boss, uncaring at times) but she agreed not only did I deserve a raise, but also an assistance!! That was UNHEARD of by her. But, I was also thanking her for the added responsibilities and I was quite good at doing them. The clients LOVED me. I was fair and kind to everyone who came in. It was in Social Services. A "drunk" has gone through often some unreal hardships, very often has a severe untreated mental illness (no one grows up saying "I want to be a drunk or druggie). With the right direction I always hoped they get help.
@Tabatha_Cain ,, How did the first day go? Did you find out where to park? It'll get better and easier as you settle in. Do you like the new office? Can you do any decorating? OH THE MOST IMPORTANT part, if you are coffee surgery is it better now? GRIN!! HEY PRIORITIES!!
@makingthyme ,, HI!! WELCOME to the FALL 5% Challenge!! Have you found your invite to your team?
@Patti241 ,, I was giggling last night when I turned on the heat, then I decided I wanted to be warm enough to not shiver all night, so I kept it on. I DO WORRY about those who can't pay for heat this year. As above I used to work for Social Services, and I know that what last year would fill someone tank for a month and a half this year will not even fill a tank but maybe 3/4 of the way. AND many more are requesting assistance this year. PLEASE ALL REACH OUT especially to your elderly neighbors (OR ALL of them if there's a slight chance) I just tell them "I know many of our friends/relatives may have to go cold this year. If you talk to any here's the number (previously written down) so they can call for an appointment please let them know it can be done through the mail and by phone." so no one is embarrassed to think we may realize they could be struggling.
@Bookienj,, TY TY TY I sure hope S/HE is super stubborn (My GD is, and well for those of us who aren't young remember hearing "I HOPE YOU HAVE A CHILD JUST LIKE YOU!" Guess my Mom thought was in insult,,, I'd just go upstairs and laugh and laughed, I wanted that too!) .
@Kurtize ,, LOVE that picture!! INDEED if we do not put 100% into something, how can we expect 100% back? We give what we get.
@Retired_Sue ,, SAME WITH Positively Strong 4 Life.

Since it's likely on the other page now ,, how to find your invites:

From your HOME PAGE click on the COMMUNITY tab on the lighter blue bar going across the page, than click on the DARKER BLUE BAR GROUPS. You'll see your invite right under the 2 blue bars.
Here's a sample

Good Morning Airport Friends:

I hope you are all doing well. My first day at my job went great. It was all training videos and getting to know the boss and co workers. I have the front desk in the office so I greet people as they come in. I am a glorified receptionist who also sells policies in my spare time. So not a big concentration on selling policies. That is good. That is what I want though. I don't want to sell sell sell. Yes it would be great but I am not a huge seller.

@LindieMaeP - I did. It was great. I was even there before the boss. He got stuck in traffic.
@Kurtize - My boyfriend had a great day also. We were both so nervous. He just moved to a different location but stayed with the same company. I changed companies completely.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - My first day went great. I did find parking and the office. I can do some decorating. Which I plan to do. Yes he has a coffee pot. Which is great. He also has a water cooler for some fresh water. Which I drink a lot of.

Well it is time to get ready for work. I hope you all have a great day.

Tabatha

God morning Lindie

@Dianedoessmiles1 - Good morning. Thank you for asking. I haven't received my team invite, yet. Getting excited about doing this 5%. It has been awhile. lol

As I indicated last night - Fit Force invitations went out around 10:30 pm Wednesday 9/21 and we do have members who have climbed on board. Thanks to Diane for the graphic on how to find your invitation which I will copy here.

If you requested Fit Force team, take a look for your invitation as indicated above.

@Cosmiccurves please check here for yours it's waiting for you on the RHCS team. I see it there

@Tabatha_Cain sounds really nice!! I had thought of doing receptionist jobs as one that was a lot more less stress than the accounting one I did!! YO!! I LOVE NUMBERS though, they always balance out. STILL people and LOLOL the STUFF they can do!! Though for the city it wasn't bad, since I was in Social Services, it was rather easy enough though if I had stopped and thought of the money stuff passing through my hands on an hourly basis!! YO!! It was in Social services, paying landlords, clients bills, handing them vouchers for food, non food and the list goes ON AND ON AND ON!! It was a very fast paced job. I saw the receptionists (2 of them) the one at the window was often STRAIGHT Out at opening times (8 AM and noon) but it'd wind way down at other times, but the other one,, LOL she could do her nails at times!! LOL I was also mostly straight out from the moment the first order hit my desk until after closing! ENJOY the decorating!! Likely there's not a lot of what you can do, still there's some neat things you can do that'll be classy. WOOHOO on the coffee also!
@Patti241 PLEASE COME HOME to us!! LOL hey we've been waiting on you. You'll find your invite as above, but since we are on the same team here's the invite also by clicking on the link. When you click on the link below it'll not bring you right in, but I am on tonight quite a lot so I'll see you. If you do so in the AM another leader may see you first, and I'll be on around 11ish or so if not before.

@makingthyme ,, which team did you request? Have you found the invite yet?

One thought on the invites, depending on your notices for the bell at the right, you may also find it on your bell notices, that is where mine came through and I happened to be online when it flashed at the lower left of my screen so I was able to accept and go right to the team. However, if I had not been online at the time, it would have been there for the next time I came online. Hope that helps someone find theirs.

@Dianedoessmiles1 you are too too kind, I am sure someone else would have thought of the bell notices as well. I actually forgot about it as I had turned off all but 1 or 2, one being to notify me when someone invites me to a group. You see, a friend on another group mentioned that the bell notices do not go away and wanted to know how to remove them. Well they canna be removed, they become redundent and drop off as new activity pushes older activity to the bottom and gone .. anyway, I know others have helped too, the BL team as well as others who have been on MFP longer then me. I clicked my rubie slippers and said there's no place like home and I landed home LOL - I could not resist that !

@Lindiemaep ,, Oh you have NO CLUE HOW BADLY I want red shoes with glitter!! AND I DO!! But, these feet!! TY TY for all you do with us!
@Cseguin2 ,, I LOVE that fall is here!! WOOHOO!! I may have to at some point check out my sweaters!! OH I LOVE THAT!! Have you tried Miss Swiss diet hot chocolate? It's not bad at all and still has that wonderful chocolate taste ,, not as sweet as some but certainly chocolatey enough! Sure hope your thumb heals soon!! OUCH!! OUCH!!! So sorry!! GREAT JOB on the compliments!! ALWAYS a feel good!! People when it comes to food are usually very honest.
