I received some bad news last night and my heart is hurting. I work tonight and not going in is not an option.

I need tips on surviving the shift so that I can home and lick my wounds. :crying2::crying2::crying2::crying2:

Please send encouraging words my way. :redpinkhe

Sometimes you may still have to cry, scream, and throw things. But it's good to read that you are getting through this and in a better place. :hug:

Some hugs to you but if you had my boss, i quote her, "dont bring your problems to work". Take a day off!

We all know what monkeys are prone to throwing so best watch out :smokin:

Thanks to everyone who visited this old thread. Your encouraging words have lifted me up.

Glad to read that you are in a better place. My family has had a very rough summer. I keep telling myself:

"This, too, shall pass."

Take care.

Hang in there. It really does get better....the getting to the better part is the worst. Once you get to that place, it is smooth sailing from then on. (((((Hugs & good thoughts))))
