<p>Good luck tonight, bbecker.</p>
<p>Hey, congratulations on the job! If you’re doing some sort of food service related work, I imagine you’ll come home one tired puppy tonight, but it’ll get better. From a former waitress, back in the day, let me tell you: Wear shoes that are as comfortable as you can get away with.</p>
<p>You know, bb…you could consider this rigorous, on-the-job training for you to be the parent you always thought you should have. </p>
<p>If you decide to have a husband and kids, resolve to get it right. ;)</p>
<p>Bari,
Congratulations on getting the job at Pollo Tropical. I think my family and I have eaten at a couple when we were vacationing in Florida. (I haven’t seen any near FSU.) I hope you’ll be working with good people. Let us know how the job goes. Your cheering section is still thinking about you :).</p>
<p>Hey sweetie~</p>
<p>I’m sorry to hear that your mom is still singing the same ol’ song. <em>sigh</em> You have done SO many wonderful and positive and self-sustaining things in the past couple of weeks, and all she can manage to do is harp on that which you haven’t been able to do. Please remember that she’s speaking from a place of having issues within her own life and is obviously not in a position to be receptive to and supportive of the changes you have brought about in your own life in such a short time. There are many of us here, though, who are absolutely delighted to listen to you and to celebrate the great things and mourn the sorrows WITH you.</p>
<p>HUGE CONGRATS on the Pollo Tropical job! 
Hope tonight went well for you! Keep us posted about this, o.k?..and any other job searches in which you are involved. </p>
<p>{{{{{{{major hugs}}}}}}}, sweetie, and keep up the great work. You’re doing beautifully, and things WILL continue to get better for you!</p>
<p>love, ~berurah</p>

<p>Thank you so much! My first night on the job was great. There’s alot to do and they need ALOT of help! I was being trained on the register but we also have to help out doing other things as well. I have to work tonight again at the same time 5 to 12am. I came home extremely tired, I had a doctor’s appointment very early this morning that I barely could get up for but I made it. My feet were killing me and right now I have the after sore effect. My doctor’s appointment went well, she asked me how I was doing and I told her my mood and motivation as gotten alot better. But my sleep is alittle off still so she prescribed more ambien which I’m going to take every once and a while so I won’t become tolerant of it or anything else. She also prescribed more Effexor XR I’m at 75 mg’s now. So I hope things get even alittle better from now on. Thank you all for your support and you don’t know how great it feels to know that even though I cant go to my parental unit at home I can here =]. Hope your all having a great week and I hope I can return the favor you guys are doing for me. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!</p>
<p>Hey sweetie!!</p>
<p>VERY glad to hear that your first night on the job went so well!!! Wow! I’m <em>really</em> proud of you! You’ve bitten off a lot to accomplish at one time, but you seem to be doing it all in grace and style. I’m really glad to hear that you are keeping your doctor’s appts. That is extremely important, though I know how difficult it must be with your schedule that’s getting busier by the minute. I hope that the additional Ambien straightens out the remaining sleep problems. You’re going to need to be getting a r-e-s-t-f-u-l night’s sleep with your new work commitment. Your enthusiasm for your new job is just fabulous. I’m sure that your bosses will quickly see all of the wonderful things about you that we on CC have seen! Keep up the good work!!! And baby your feet a bit…they’re gonna need it! :)</p>
<p>love, ~berurah</p>
<p>Hello parental units!! =]</p>
<p>I’m so excited right now. I just got the call from circuit city to come in for my orientation!! =] Yay!! No more slaving over fast food! =]</p>
<p>Congratulations!!
I am SO happy for you, bbecker.</p>
<p>WOOOOO HOOOOOO!!! CONGRATS on the Circuit City job!!!</p>
<p>Hope your orientation goes GREAT, bb!!! ~berurah</p>
<p>Woo hoo! Congratulations! You are on a roll!</p>
<p>All the advice about comfy shoes still applies to Circuit City – and there you don’t have to try to look fashionable. Good athletic shoes, or walking shoes are what you should go for.</p>
<p>Congratulations on the Circuit City job! I have to echo everyone about the comfortable shoes. Find a pair with plenty of room for your toes, lots of cushioning, and support. Your feet will thank you.</p>
<p>I’m glad to hear that your doctor is working with you to get your meds just right. I’m sure you’ll find the proper balance. </p>
<p>How is school going for you? I imagine it’s not long until graduation, then summer break and off to FSU. You have lots to look forward to!</p>
<p>Wow, bbecker, things seem to be getting better and better! Major congrats on everything–the upbeat mood, the job, everything!</p>
<p>Thank you all! =] It’s crazy before a month ago, I thought I wouldn’t see my day last march but now I’m feeling ALOT better, I feel better and better everyday! and things are getting better every day!! Thank you all for your support and concern. I cant thank you enough, you are my motivation, I dont get it from anywhere else. Tomorrow is my first day at circuit city =] so I’m excited! I’m also thinking about asking my pollo tropical manager for more flexible hours, like 5-10 =]. </p>
<p>dancersmom, I’m not in school right now. I graduated may,17,2006= ] but took a year off because my family and money situation was crazy and I didnt wiegh all my options. But now my mind is cleared up, I have support and a cheer section, Good medication, an understanding doctor, What else can I ask for to recover =]. I’m excited to be doing all the things I WANT to do.
Work now, school later! its gonna be great ;-)</p>
<p>Oh yeah! I got another acceptance today, in form of a phone call. I applied to Marquette University and I was waitlisted because I applied late. So today an admission counselor called me to inform me that I’ve been taken off the waitlist and I should be recieving a admission packet soon! even though I already made my decision it’s just a good feeling, a good pick me up! So I’m 3/4 now =] one is still pending.</p>

<p>Wow, bbecker!! I’m so thrilled for you and proud of you. You are doing a great job and I can just imagine how much you’ll enjoy college life. Keep us posted!</p>
<p>May I add my CONGRATULATIONS!!? I cannot tell you how happy I am to read about the positive changes you have made in your life. Enjoy the new job/jobs and please continue to post about how you are doing.</p>
<p>Hi, bbecker, I am sorry that you are feeling down, if you are truely feeling depressed, you should talk to someone about it. From my own experience, my college health services counselor was not that helpful, she just looked at me weirdly, so I just talk to my friends. The more you talk to people, the more you notice you are not alone in depression. I am currently experiencing some problems of my own,and it has been really hard for me to even go to class or see anyone…I feel hopeless all the time, but this is just me. So yeah, talking helps, talk to someone, or you can PM me,since I am not doing my work these days anyways.</p>
