  1. Hope you are all okay. i'm working from home still .. trying to get an appointment for a booster. My shrink is away for a month to get married and i'm working with someone else for a time. writing very slowing .. a story called W.A.R. and the other's working title is Kidnapped .. i had to stop until i could figure out why i didnt want to write, usually its because i know what i'd vaguely planned is wrong .. so im hanging in.. keep up the good fight.

  10. Real Friends Friends come and go Like mists at dawn Burned away by the heat of the sun It’s too much not to really know them If I cannot see you You are not real Yet, I am writing this and I know It is enough for my soul To simply know of yours ***
  11. Yeah, i know from talking to people how different it is. i can't be made to work more than my shift or on Holidays. They can ask me to and if i agree they have to pay me 1.5x my hourly rate. On Stat holidays it's 2.5x and on say Christmas Day or New Years Day it's 3x. I don't know if that is the same for all workers in Canada (i doubt it is) but the Banks are under the Federal Government so there are a lot of regulations we have to meet.
  12. You're right, Kitt. i think people appreciate what they've done and are trying to do. We are expected to work during our usual shift, like we do at work. It goes without saying they know what we're doing, but they always know. That doesnt bother me because, i work the same at home as i did at work. i suppose there are some who get away with stuff, but i'm my own hard taskmaster and i don't get away with much. lol They don't want us to work longer that our 7.5 hours per day unless we sign up for overtime. The Bank isn't perfect, but where is? They are trying and for me, that's all i can ask.
  13. i can't complain about how on top they have been since day 1. they have given us money to buy stuff for home office or exercise, we have $3,000 to spend on mental health on top of what we have in our benefits, they've sent us packages (thats 2000 courier deliveries to home workers with each delivery) filled with snacks, a wellness box with a yoga mat, a box with coffees and other things like tea and hot chocolate, and a planter with lavender seeds. The listen and work with us if there are issues at home. They gave us extra days off paid as well. i can't complain about how we've been treated through all of this.
  14. That's wonderful news. Congratulations.
  15. So, people don't like to make resolutions just to break them. That's a just another way to disappoint ourselves, right? Well, here's something you can decide to do and there's no real reason to break this resolution, and it's good for you. It's easy and quick. Click here to be good to yourself (and so others). Have a good day everyone.
  16. it's hard i am grateful for Michael as He has again saved me from the knife's edge i hope you are able to stick with your goals. xo
  17. I wish all of you the best for 2022. Don't think of how bad '21 was, think about how you handled it, braved it. We will remember all those who died, the miracle of vaccines and the goodness that so many of us showed.
  18. that's awful, all those poor people glad You are okay, Sir.
