    Hello purps,

    So sorry for your troubles. If I hadn't been giving all of my juice to the WTS for all these years, I'd send you a little no-interest loan for getting back on your feet. You do have my moral support and empathy, and also the great advice and support from the many here who know you better than I do. It's obvious that you are well-loved. But, love don't pay the bills. Right, sister?

    Best wishes,

    Nvr

    This was my primary income, I work a part time job to supplement.

    I have been off work for almost two weeks with a herniated disc. I work as a courier and I lift and carry heavy things. IN and OUT, in and out, of a car all day. So, it took its toll on my already old, messed up body( 5 kids and all)

    I have a thread on here about how things were when I went back to work after my brothers funeral. The guy that did my job screwed everything up and so they sat me down and said ........there are going to be changes to your job. OK.........I ate it that time. The guy was fired about two months later, from another job they tried him with in the company.

    I come back to work today and they have a job offer for me. I said can I htink about it. They said I had no choice.

    So now, some chick has my job.......I trained her for about 4 days before I got hurt. They gave the job to her and offered me a desk job. It will be easier on you, purps. That opening was becuase they were going to get rid of someone that has worked there 6+ years, and her mother is a supervisor at there.

    I'm telling myself that I need some kind of self integrity. I initially started working for this company, while I was an active JW. Something about not wanting to work for a place that wants to make doormats out of employees is no longer appealing.

    I do know that I will make it somehow, I always have. This is a time when I want the fairytale of a new system of things and paradise and playing with a cobra and petting a lion .....and blah blah blah......you get the picture........it would be nice if it were all real.

    I don't fit into the mainstream workplace. I was trying to put a square peg in a round hole. Like I said, I took the job while an active JW. Maybe I will make a better job choice this time. or become homeless, whichever comes first.

    purps
