That's encouraging to hear! Hopefully more companies will realize that providing a workplace environment like that benefits the employees and the company's bottom line much more in the long-term when employees are treated as though they are valued.

Happy today cause a guy a dated this August contacted me again and wanted to see
me. We haven't spoke to each other since August when we met for the first time. I really liked him and
thought after I did not hear from him that he wasn't interested at all. But now yesterday he called. We spoke
30 min and he asked if he can come to my hometown so we can see each other. :smile2:
Iam happy today as Iam making a few major decisions that i think are best. Moving on forward somethimes is needed.
I think one of the biggest things is that when you work for a company like that, you not only want to give back, but you really hesitate to leave. It takes a lot to pull you away to another job. Retention of good employees in any market is, I think, key.Quote:

Yeah, I believe that (NOT) and thank you Congress for removing any language in reform legislation that would have dealt with that. Yes, that's sarcasm, too. :glare:Quote:

Because in 24 hours I will get to be with my husband again. And it's Thanksgiving/his birthday/the 10 year anniversary of our first date. It's a big day!
I miss him.
I'm absolutely walking on air right now and purely for a superficial reason. (Surprise!) My sister in law was in a bad car accident a few weeks back so I've lent her and my brother my car until they can buy a new one. Anyway, she has just brought me a surprise gift and it was a new pair of Bailey Button Ugg boots. Not everyone's favourite choice of footwear, but I love them in the winter. I was looking at them a few weeks back but I couldn't justify spending £225 ($360) on them so it was a lovely gesture to buy them for me. It's nice to be appreciated. :love:
I am happy today because....My kids decided to give the German Shep a bath. Yay Mom does not have to do it!!! BUT...... Oh boy, time for a wrestling match! Well, not today, he jumped right in!! Whoo hoo that only took three years!!!
