i'm going to get a lot of stuff off my chest on this one..

when i got out of the car this afternoon.. the access driver had asked me if i'm going to be okay. i answered "yes" as i hadn't needed help to get into the house in a long time and it was going to be some time till i needed to again. i had walked to the gate and realized that while i was

I really don't know what to say that could possibly cheer you up. For the first issue, the closest I guess I can come to sympathizing is the way I felt when I heard my dad was in an accident (and furthermore when he couldn't remember who I was). That moment scared me emotionally, and I'll never forget it. Hopefully your mom's chemotherapy treatment goes well.

As for work, you definitely know that I've been there -- I've seen what draconian policies they have, and how they treat their employees. Frankly it's disgusting, and I have a feeling we're not the only ones.

Just remember though, we're here for you and are willing to do whatever it takes to help cheer you up. You are like family to us, and we all know what it's like when a family member is in need.

Take care.

I can't really do much to help, 'specially over the computer, but would a hug be of any use? If it would, well, here's one for you:

*HUG*

And if not, well, I'll do whatever I can, though I don't know what that would be. But you're nice and I like you, and that's a good thing.

(And I do hope things get to be going at least a bit better at some point, preferably sooner rather than later. For all of you.)

Man, I don't think anyone could fault you for going on a tirade after all that. I know work has been jerking you around a lot lately (as, in even more than usual). And I have to give you credit for toughing it out longer in that department than I could. If I hadn't moved on when I did, my next stop was the exit.

I don't really know what else to say, other than if you need anything that's within my power to give, just say the word. You don't deserve the crap our mutual employer puts you through. And I know you've been unhappy with the situation there for a long time. Heck, almost as long as I've known you.

I know it's an unpleasant prospect, but maybe it is time to move on to greener pastures. With the job market the way it is, you'd be almost guaranteed a similar position for equal or better pay.

I worry about you, and I hope things get better for you soon.
