(Edit:) Now four hearts -THANKS!

I didn't expect either heart. It's been a less than stellar week for me and for someone to do this is touching and was definitely needed.

Thank you to all four of you!

(Edited to add a third thanks!)

(Adding a fourth thanks! )

Fighting for a possible promotion against w coworker who is purposely trying to sabotage me.(She wants it but I'm qualified.) And I'm a single.mother of an almost teenage girl - never an easy time.

The hearts are a lovely boost that was needed. Sounds like you needed them too!

of your work troubles. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you that qualifications will out do sabotage tactics. When it's SO important...believe me I know....been a single mom myself.
I won't tell you to 'hang in there' , that always ticked me off when people suggested that. I will tell you that I bet you're strong enough to handle whatever the outcome is....and remember...karma!

She's very right wing and likes to make snide comments about "my morals", since my single motherhood offends her and is against her "Christian beliefs". (Funny how she likes to glide over how my kid and I are active church members who regularly volunteer.)

That's what she does to my face. Behind my back is much worse. Of course, this behavior is just dandy with her morals.

Thanks for listening. I needed to get it off my chest but couldn't say it out loud without sounding like I'm whining.
