Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / July 2004Good News, Thanks, and More Little Prayers Needed
First of all, I want to tell you that you are some of the best friends I've ever had even though I've never met you. With your help, I'll be able to pay my rent by Friday. I do have to pay late fees, but I'm not going to stress on that, and will just have to owe them to the office and pay them when I can. I want to publicly thank everyone who helped me, you know who you are :) Mom always said "What goes around, comes around", and please know that good things will come to you :) Second, I just heard from the agency and I got the job at AT&T Wireless. It's an entry level call center job, but that's OK :) I'll have money coming in regularly. And when I went there for the interview, it looked like a nice friendly place to work - lots of people so I can make new friends and get out of this apartment and be with people. I have to work for the agency for a few months before AT&T can hire me into the company, but I'm praying that will all go well as the benefits there are really good. And we all know what it means to have benefits, and to be without them as I am now. Lastly, I still need some little prayers. The agency said they have to do a background check. Since I am from NY, this can take a few days. If they can get it through fast, I can start on the 12th, if not it would be the 26th. Since there are a ton of bills sitting here that have to be paid, I really need to go to work on the 12th. So I'm figuring that if I can get everyone to pray really hard, we can get the paperwork to come through and I'll be able to start on Monday. You know, I've often had people tell me that the internet is a waste and that people out there are not real. I've always told them that they were wrong as I've "met" so many wonderful people being online. I want you all to know that since I have no family, you are all like my family. I love you all so much and if it wasn't for you all, I don't think I would have made it through this. You were there to laugh with me, you were there to cry with me, and most of all you were there to give me unconditional love and hugs when I needed it. I hope that someday I will get to meet at least some of you in person. But know, that you will all always be in my prayers :) Hugs and Love, Carole :) I agree I met one of my best friends online.. we have been buddies since 1996. I met them in a chat room. Met them in person. I have a relationship with their family and parents. There are REAL people out there, just allot of weirdoes too. If you weed out the weird ones then you'll find some pretty decent people here. I post to this group and the Lupus group and there are several very nice and decent people on here and you have seen for yourself some very caring people too. I am glad there has been some sunshine on your life recently and sounds like you are going in the right direction. :o) > First of all, I want to tell you that you are some of the best friends > I've ever had even though I've never met you.

Just remember that you are there to do the job,,,,,, their way,,,, to give them what they want for the money you earn. I have seen a few people here that as soon as they get the job,,,,, its all about them,,,,, well its not about them or you. Its about earning your money and making your working there a company profit.... That is the secret to continued employment. The other thing is that its takes some luck in that the company you work for is doing well and will continue to operate. If not,,, its not your fault and time to do it all over again. hugs and love to you too and may this be a rewarding job for you.

The thing that is up in the air is the Cingular is taking over AT&T Wireless, so no one knows what will happen in the future...however, the woman who interviewed me told me that Cingular will still need people, so hopefully there will be a place for me too :) > :-) Really good news.

All I know is I've been with AT&T wireless for quite a while and the coverage where I live stinks. Since Cingular bought out AT&T part of the time my phone says its one and part of the time it says its the other, but I do have good overall coverage for the first time. And my bill doesn't list it as roaming, just all one service. In any case it doesn't appear that Cingular bought them out to shut them down. For now and looking at their advertising, it looks like they are running it as one company with two names. They are still advertising AT&T Wireless heavily. Jo Cingular was always a GSM company. AT&T jumped on the GSM bandwagon late in the game. I'm thinking that Cingular will put to use AT&T's equipment to gain better overall coverage. I've been told by a number of friends out here that their phones are switching from one company to the other depending on where the signal is coming from. But combining the two has to give customers better coverage, so that has to be a good thing :) Carole >>Carole, >> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Jo Prayers were answered!

You need a special machine that looks like a press. He was really nice and fixed my watch for me and didn't charge me anything :) I promised him that next time I'd bring it in and just have him change the battery :) Carole :) (((Carole))) oh, thank God!!

Congratulations on the new job and may your stress levels now take a huge downward turn!!! Blessings to you!!! Donna G Thanks, Donna. Now that I've found this job, I have to scramble to find a part time job as well as I lost my food stamps. This job will cover my bills with nothing left over for food or clothing, or anything else. So I'm going to have to find something else as well. I tried to get my food stamps back today, but I was turned down as I will now be making too much money to qualify.

Oh CRAP! Are you kidding me? You can still go to food pantrys, though. And check with local churches about some kind of help on an ongoing basis. Not much, just enough to keep you eating. Char "Remember, I'm pulling for ya'. We're all in this together." Red Green Yea, I'm going to have to do that, Char. And just when I was starting to eat healthy. Oh well...at least at the new job they have free coffee :-)) Carole :) >>I tried to get my food stamps >>back today, but I was turned down as I will now be making too much money [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > "Remember, I'm pulling for ya'.

I've had Cingular for many years since it was Houston Cellular. We always have great service and incredible coverage areas. I have a multi-network phone so when I'm in areas where there is no GSM service or digital service, my phone switched to analog automatically. They are in the process of going to GSM everywhere. From what I understand, after the merge is completed, they should be updating all the repeaters and the coverage area should be almost the entire US. Usually, when no one else can get a signal, my phone will work. We've always had very good customer service with them, too. I hope it works out well for you.

I had to cancel my phone a few months back as I just couldn't afford it anymore. One of the nice things about this job is that once you get hired permanently you get a free phone :) The only place I found that the phone didn't work was when I was going across the country...when you're on highways like the I-90 there are no towers or antennae, so ergo no signal. The only time I got a signal was when I got close to a very large town or city, but out on the open road, nada. Carole No one knows...Cingular is in the process of taking over. They said that the call center out here would still be needed as it's the only one on the west coast. I guess like the song title says "Only Time Will Tell". I just hope I can get enough time in that if I do get laid off, I can get unemployment benefits.

Congratulations and may you start on the 12th! SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare My brother would have to disagree with the way you use to think. He was almost 40 when he met his wife on the internet. She lived in Lousianna and we live in Oklahoma. She has a daughter. He got an instant family and at age 43 he got married for the first time and now has a son that is a year old... Carole you are a wonderful person and I am so lucky to have met you on the internet.... Sending Prayers that you get to work on the 12th... Hugs Cindy Thanks, Cindy :) I'm really happy your brother found his love on the internet. So many good things have happened to me since I first went online. Maybe someday I'll meet my love on here as well :) Or maybe since I'll now be working at a HUGE company . . . hey, you never know :) Hugs, Carole :) > My brother would have to disagree with the way you use to think. He was > almost 40 when he met his wife on the internet. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Sending Prayers that you get to work on the 12th... > Hugs Cindy Over the past few years my spouse, Charlie has gone from thinking I had the equivalent of imaginary friends on the computer, to knowing what groups I'm involved with, and who some of the people are, and even meeting Firechief and Mary in Sacramento with me. Its a lifeline for me, in part because I'm always on the darn computer anyway. In part because I don't get out like I might because it takes so long to start the day when you hurt all over. And in part because here it just makes no difference to anyone that I am deaf. It gets so tiresome when I'm out shopping or anything and at least once before I finish I'll have to say to someone, I'm sorry, I'm deaf. Either that I can't help them or I can't understand them trying to help me. Whether they are a stranger trying to ask a question, or just someone trying to help me. It just gets old. (And why now, do I look so darn approachable to older than I am ladies in the stores who want to ask where something is etc? LOL) Jo > Thanks, Cindy :) > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Sending Prayers that you get to work on the 12th... > > Hugs Cindy You got some prayers for a quick job start Kate Send in the clowns I will not drag you along; I will not leave you alone; I will stand by you and have my hand there for you to hold when you need it.
