yep, I got canned. LOL About 2 weeks ago I was called into the manager's office. I knew it was coming. My assistant manager was there as well as my zone manager. Zone managers have supervision over a section of the store. During my termination we were joking and picking on each other. I was kind of relieved. No more living in fear of the axe falling on me. My assistant told me my work was never in question. I always work hard, do what is asked of me and always complete projects. She said it was my attendance. And my attendance was bad. But in my previous post I pointed out that I choose my family first. Me and kota have had sinus infections, strep throat, the flu and numerous occasions of each. Yes I had doctor's notes but when you work somewhere they kind of expect you to come in to work every day! My assistant told me I can reapply to work there in 6 months and she would gladly take me back. I am still thinking on that one. I am currently looking for employment, part time employment. I don't want my work dictating how much time I can spend with my family.

In my first two weeks of unemployment I have been getting this house organized! Kota is enjoying me being home. Hubby loves the fact that I am cooking dinner every night. LOL I am more relaxed and enjoying life once again.

There were other issues in my termination. But ultimately if I had not missed so many days, I would not have been in danger of termination. You know how you have those people at work who go out of there way to make you miserable? yeah, I had one of those. She was a dept manager and her daughter also worked there. Her daughter got fired a week before me. The reason was her attendance. But there were other issues as well. She was stealing time. She would leave work hours early and then adjust her time on the computer the next day. She would also get food from the deli and not pay for it. Well her mama decided it was discrimination if I was not fired. But like I said, had I not missed those days I would not have gotten fired.

Now I need to concentrate on getting healthy. My doc wants me to get that A1c test done for diabetes. My last blood test showed I was only 2 points away from being diabetic. I need to lose weight. But I am keeping active, doing alot of cleaning. The weather seems to be getting better and I am hoping to start walking again.

I am doing pretty good!
