    I'm sorry to hear that, @Juliet316 . I lost my middle cat last year when we had to put her to sleep because of a tumor. It hurts.

    I survived the competitions over the weekend, and I even had som fun. Due to a person calling in sick I had to jump in as the the person on paper responsible for it all, but that also meant that I was the one who had to decide the speed for the athletes and that was really fun. Also any soccer player should see a ski jumper tumbling down the whole hill, and then just get up on his legs and walk off (with a broken collarbone).

    I am home sick today. I think it's a stomach bug. Was really shaky yesterday. Just drained today.

    Tony, that is the most depressing picture I think I've ever seen.

    I think that was the point, but on a personal note, that image brought me so much joy when I saw it in my lunch between the years of 6 and 8.

    I find it very confusing that Essex is 1.000 kilometers to the west of Saxony.

    I've had just an awful today besties. Got to work to find out they announced on Friday (I was off) that they were closing our department. Apparently been in the works for a year but of course now that's it's final we're to be told. We can apply for other positions in the health care system, but I would be lying if I didn't think that my age, 61- only a couple years from retiring, and being at the top of my pay scale won't be viewed as a negative to a potential boss.

    I am angry, hurt and terribly scared as retiring now is not something I can do. The emotions have been extreme.

    I am so sorry Freida. That is absolutely terrible timing when you need a few more years to retire.

    And here I was gonna complain about just tripping in the dark and falling over onto my knee....perspective.

    Man, that’s awful. So they were working on it for a year, but waited til the last second to tell you instead of giving you all that time to try to line up another job.

    Then age and experience is often devalued and thrown away.

    I hope you find another job to get you to the retirement you’ve worked for and deserve.

    That's horrible, Frieda! I'd ask if that were even legal, but this is America, where people with money have the FREEDOM™ to do whatever *****y thing they want to do to the rest of us.

    We've been told they will begin to 'wind things down starting in early spring though it may take to the end of the year to finish'. TBH, I now can't trust a word they say.

    Can I say how incredibly awkward 'huddle' was today. lol

    Thanks for the support guys. I was in need. Love you all. [:D]
