Is it Friday yet?

My week is going from bad to worse. I can't wait for DH is come home on Friday!

How are all of your weeks going?

Re: Is it Friday yet?

  • How's the little guy?
  • Thanks for asking, he's ok but very fussy... The doctor thinks he's in pain because his diaper rash has turned into open sores, so obviously every time he has a wet diaper it is stinging and burning. If they don't at least improve by tomorrow, she wants to see him. Poor boy can't catch a break!

    Yi kes that sounds so painful!

    One of the babies in my baby group is going through the same kind of diaper rash. I feel so bad for these little guys!

    I know, huh? I am just so ready for this week to be over!

  • Oh no! I hope it gets better for you!

    We're halfway there.

  • Poor little guy.  I feel like this week is dragging.  I kept thinking/wishing today was Thursday.

    Me too! I was all excited for Grey's to be on tonight, and then I remember it's only Wednesday!

    I know!  You must really be wishing for Friday so you can see DH!

  • Oh LadyE, that sounds awful!  Poor little guy.

    It has been a crappy week for me too.  Monday 2 of the 4 people in my office got laid off (not me, thankfully) and I'm nervous as to what that means for me going forward.  We started 2011 with 5 people and now we're down to 2 Sad

  • SCM that is awful.  You must be doing tons of extra work now too to make up for the loss. 

    Speaking of tons of work, I have SO MUCH to get done by tomorrow afternoon.  This week has not been fun.

  • LadyE, I hope your little guy gets better really soon.  That's a lot of things to deal with all at once.  Hang in there, mommy!

    SCM, I'm sorry to hear about the layoffs.  It must be tough having only two of you left in the office.  Were the RIFs expected?  I'm a little surprised; I thought most on the Street were doing better nowadays.

    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

    Oh wow, that is a lot! I don't blame you for being nervous, but the fact that you're one of the remaining 2 must say something, right?

  • Rock - we were a little concerned when 1Q earnings came out and our firm was down 7%.  I'm also on the research side so we're not the money makers of the firm. 

    LadyE - that's what I'm hoping!  I mean next step would be closing our entire branch I'd think, so fingers crossed that doesn't happen...

    That is nerve racking!  Are they telling you anything??

    I know you're not technically considered revenue-generating, but a full-service firm does need its research arm.  And people do pay to read research.  The question, I guess, is how core is the industry you cover to the firm's practice?  Ugh, fingers crossed for you and a better Q2!

    My sector is pretty core and the analyst I work with is very well ranked so that gives me a little comfort.  

    camedown - I was told I was safe when I asked but I doubt they'd tell me otherwise!  

    thanks for the concern ladies Smile
