I am going to try and move this fall. I don't envy your fucking move anxiety OED. I am not looking forward to putting my house up for sale, I really don't want a bunch of fucking people I don't know coming through...even though I'm selling it "as is"
Oh my god, it's HUGE!

I JUST went through this last week. I know what you are going through. I had multiple attacks and break downs just accomplishing this, and it was something I WANTED to do! But it is so much better once you are done I promise. Just keep thinking of how happy you'll be when it's all over. I am so ecstatic right now and all the anxiety has finally passed. Good luck and hugs!

It's difficult OED because you have fucking attachments to it. Get someone to help who doesn't "have a dog in the fight" and you'll be amazed at how quick they git er done. Energy exchange on this? Fucking consider it anyway.

If I ever had to deal with moving I'd have to call a liquidator, fuck I hope not...decades of kewl stuff and a dozen strangers combing through it all for the yard sale of the century, ugh!

Sorry to read about your girl freind woes UD. You're the least one to deserve bullshit like that, hang in there... 8)

The biggest part of the Anxiety is the size of the move.
I have two Rvs, 3 trucks, a van, a blazer, and a car and two trailors to move.
two fucking garages and 3 sheds full of shit, a bunch of propane tanks and a 1600 sq foot house that is already stacked full of shit too.
I think I am gonna hire some fucking day laborers to help me load it.

Sure wish the weather would just shape up and stay nice for more than a fucking day or two at a time.

Good man, if you can afford it, hire someone else to take on the task. As much as you can.

Your friends should be pitching in as well...

When Toshiko died, I wanted some of her friends to help me go through her stuff with me. None of the fuckers showed up. Then her ex showed up and said the house belonged to him. I said great, mother fucker, you weren't at the hospital you weren't at her fucking memorial service, now you clean up the fucking mess and I hope it breaks your black heart clean in half!

Sorry, just had to get that out.

Well Fuck. Met with HR today, was informed we don't really HAVE an appeal process, it's still being "considered" and that all they can do is put my statement in with my reprimand. I still can't apply for a lateral transfer, I have to stay where I am for a year. I told the hr manager I was flabbergasted. She said that my supervisor and my manager told her that I had cussed out my supervisor in a meeting, then I cussed out my co-workers. This. Did. Not. Happen. I asked if she had confirmed that story with any of my co-workers. She had not. Then conceded that might be a good thing to do. You think?

And they wonder why employees want to go fucking union?

Fuck TK! Just know that HR, in most companies, have no power or say in any decision making. They work for company/management and often do not have authority to do anything except "listen" to concerns of the employees. They are not going to fix management.
Prepare your own case. If possible, you can contact your co-workers on email (for document) and try to get their story on it (it would be easier to get their story if you ask indirectly). Keep those documents safe for when you need them and let HR know that you have the story from co-workers who were at the meeting and they all have said that it didn't happen.

Fuckin' HR and EEO people are mouthpieces for the suits. Both Shelli and I went thru this shit once upon a fucking nightmare... I was getting screwed over by a manager who felt women only belong in offices wearing heels and sexy nylons (yeah, he said that to my face) and when I went to EEO for sex discrimination, was told "You're not black, so you don't have a case".... Shellli was literally hounded out of her job for having the serious flaw of loving another woman, and having her bigoted management chain find out. She sued and won, BTW, but it took 2 years of hell. Make that FUCKING hell.

You need to find a muthafucking lawyer who will work on contingency, and start building your case againse these so-and-so's... Forcing you to stay in a hostile work environment for a year is IIRC a violation of some Federal EEO laws... Do NOT let the fucking bastards get away with it!!! Make their lives the hell they're making yours... in fucking spades, hon!!!

Dick, if I were closer and not so fucking sick I'd be up there to help out. I feel awful you having to deal with this shit like that. Not fucking fair. Hire some young strong kids with 18 year old backs... do NOT kill your fucking self on this move, you dig?

And Dougly... Yggie's got it fucking cold... You keep getting dealt a sack of shit, and you come back swinging. Dude, you are one fucking amazing person!!! I can't figure these "friends" who are fair-weather only, then say fuck you when shit hits the fan... Man... They just ain't very burnerish!!! Fuck 'em!!!

I set a new fucking world record! EVERYONE was in meetings or off at the healthfare and I thought WOOOHOOOO, I'll be the only one here, I'll have something to do! I set the record on how many times you have to bump your mouse to keep your computer from falling asleep inbetween calls. FIVE!!!! (we have a 15 minute lock out policy). My desk is totally fucking clean, I even dusted the INSIDES of the fucking drawers! Then I re-organized the back stock cabinet. My co-workers will be unable to find a fucking thing tomorrow! I'm so fucking jazzed about that. But whatever I do I AM NOT TELLING MY SUPERVISOR I HAVE NOTHING TO DO.

that's what started the whole write up thing rolling. I was covering for my boss during a meeting (she was out) and begged the other supervisors in the department to give us SOMETHING TO DO. oops, evidently she had been telling them in her status updates how fucking busy we were. My bad. Anyhoo, no one wants to give us any fucking work cause then they have to deal with my fucking supervisor.

I am evidently one of those fucking people who wants to EARN my fucking paycheck. It's so sad as there is work that needs to be done, but it's not coming our way. Fucking killing me.

i'm sorry, i know i've been dumping here a lot lately. I'm really really fighting this fucking depression and this seems to fucking help.

Dougly, I love you dude, and I say this with a lot of respect. Love yourself as much as I love you. Demand and expect more.

Well Fuck. Today the news is that the second 1/2 of the SAP go-live is now labor day. And if it actually goes live labor day, I won't be granted any leave. Wouldn't be fair to my co-workers etc etc

And that's not even the bad news. After they told me this I went back to my fucking desk and that's the last thing I remember. Next thing I remember is being outside at the picnic bench with Glenn trying to get me to breath with him. I didn't kill anyone, I didn't threaten anyone. From what I gather I just stopped breathing right and cried. Anyhoo, i'm at home, I'm ok. Ken is on his way. So, yes, a lawyer is probably a good idea. And a good shrink. Just sayin. I seem to be a nut job.

I fucking hope you are the one that catches them, not just for the obvious intimidation factor, but also for them to understand the anger in having work that you have toiled over, perhaps understood more so by the fucking vandals, and a good lesson in that. Because they obviously fucking do not understand the personal and emotional aspect of the desecration of somebodies loved ones grave.

I just attended the funeral of a friend yesterday, dropped dead of a cardiac arrest at 49. So yeah, this shits a little more fucking personal right now for me.

I'd ask you to shove a piece of what they damaged up their fucking ass Yggy, but they've already desecrated it enough. :evil:
