Indiana & Surrounding BYC Meetup August 1st, 2009

[Schultz]

Hey everyone, I just wanted to pop in and let you all know my job is going well. We finally caught chicken_china_mom's roo and have him in the house right now. Maybe he can sneak a ride home to her via one of our generous BYC'ers???? We still have roo's for sale, 1 cutesie Serama, 2 gorgeous BTW Jap bantams and 3 Silver Birchen OEGB's.

Hope everyone is well and glad to see the thread still alive!

WOOT !!!! GREAT news on your job !!! I don't know how the job market around Indy is but Dave, my df, didn't get moved down here before school started back and I have been frequenting online job listings for the warsaw area to help him look, but sadly there aren't enough listings for him to need my help sifting thru them . . . .I am hoping maybe there are more jobs for Rob to look thru around Indy. There are so many more jobs down here and stuff is cheaper too than where Dave is

go figure

But, I have faith, we will be OK.

I hope everything goes well for everyone, this money problem really really sucks, I got an e-mail to not come back to work. thats right an E_MAIL, thanks goodness my husband still has a great paying job (could be better of course) living paycheck to paycheck and still behind on a few things but we all have our health and our love! and I love being a stay at home mommy

I am near Williamsport Indiana. My zip is 47917 if you want to map it. I doubt you'd be able to do it though, I just mapped it and it says you are the other side of Indy. I am North, an 1 1/2 North! Unless you are headed in my direction, I doubt you'll be able to do it. Nice thought though.

I'm glad your job is going well. That's fantastic. My poor manager is a wreck right now. Her higher bosses came and told her that if we don't meet our quota this week, she gets written up, and if we don't meet our quota next week, she's fired. She's been with the company for 15 years and has worked hard and is one of their best employees. She doesn't handle stress very well and she is terrified of losing her job. It really isn't fair because she does do very well most weeks. We've basically been told that if people aren't buying, it isn't the economy, it's OUR fault that we aren't selling! We were also told that 70% of all studio managers are being let go after the new year. Only the ones that are doing the very best will be kept. I told my manager that I won't stay if she goes, cause they will want me to take over her position, and I refuse. They torment the studio managers. I now have to work murderously hard today to make somewhere in the vicinity of $800 TODAY, cause Saturdays end our week, so that she doesn't get written up, and I only have two customer's lined up all day. I worry about my manager. Her name is Kathy. We've become good friends since I started this job and I pray A LOT for her. Please, if everyone doesn't mind, please say some prayers that we hit goal this week, and every week after this if it's not asking too much! so that she doesn't get written up and fired. She has a mortgage, a car payment, and a child to raise, and she does NOT handle stress well at all. She had me scared Thursday night as she was talking suicide because another mean studio manager told her that if she gets fired it will be because she isn't performing up to her manager's responsibilities, and therefore the company doesn't have to give her unemployement! I printed out the job description for her position and tried to ease her with it because it clearly says the manager is suppose to assist with reaching goals, it does not say the manager is soley responsible for it. Please say prayers that she does not lose her job. Help her make it through the new year and the coming job replacements that are impending. I didn't want to bring anyone down, I just know I'll never make that much money by myself today on only 2 customers. Not going to happen. I'm good, but I'm not THAT good! So, if anyone wants wonderful portraits today, stop in to the Danville Walmart. We seriously need the money! I'll be offering nice bonuses to my customers today cause I have to make the money. I am more worried about Kathy than I am about making the company's goal. Please, add her into your prayers. I will be praying constantly for her, and I will add her into our prayers at church too. Congrats Shultz, I really am happy for you. I will see how to get to you to get my roo. I hope Rob gets his job back, or a new one soon too. I'll be saying prayers for both of you. I added your family into our prayers at church last week too by the way.

Wonderful, caring people such as yourself need prayers too!
