Prayers Needed Asap

[HALEY]

i posted this before "what a slap in the face" about my husband getting a 12 cent raise, we'll his boss found out that he is taking another job next month with another company and wants to meet with him after work today. My husband said he was talking to his foreman on the job and he said that the big boss was going to offer him another 2.00 and hour, and a company truck to stay, oh if he gets this i will be so happy...

Please say a prayer for us that he gets this promotion we need it so bad.

Thanks everyone...

[Tiramisu]

Praying!

[HALEY]

thank you, i am a nervous wreck today,, thinking about this.. i hope he gets this.. i really don't want him switching jobs right now, hey the grass is not always greener on the other side, then if he does take this other job he'll be starting from the bottom again and has to work his way to the top, with a 1 year old at home i just don't want to chance anything right now...

i just can't wait till he gets home tonight and let me know what happen....

[Tiramisu]

Will he call to update you?

[HALEY]

Will he call to update you?
He's meeting his boss today after work, so it will be sometime after 4:00 he works 7-4 Pm, and i work 6:30 - 3:00 pm. so after the meeting i'll see him at home, he comes straight home after work. so i'll let you know what happens tomorrow morning, i'm praying for him, whatever he desides he knows i'm behind him 100%..

[judy]

I'm hoping he gets it! Good luck.

[HALEY]

I'm hoping he gets it! Good luck.

i'll let you know, tomorrow morning.. i been praying all day, my nerves are shot, been eating left over candy canes from Christmas that i found in my desk all day..:( hummm i hope they were from this years Christmas?

[DianaB]

I'll be praying as well. I hope that things work out for the best.

I think that I heard that candy canes that are over a year old have a chemical something that changes and they become poisonous over time. Just joking!!!!!

[Tink]

My prayers are with you too!

[DianaB]

Ok, I'm waiting to hear what happened!!!!!..............Patiently!!!!!!!!

[Marilyn]

Oh, Haley, soooo hoping the gets the raise and the truck. A company truck is a really big deal these days with gas prices as they are!! I drive a company truck and I figure it's worth several thousand dollars a year.

Keeping fingers crossed for you!!!:crossfingers:

[Tink]

Just popped in to see if there was an update yet. Here's hoping you're too busy celebrating to post!
Fingers crossed for you!

Fingers crossed for you!
Can't celebrate yet, Mike called him yesterday at 3:00 like his boss told him to and his secretary cancelled the meeting until today at 4:00. i'm getting an ulcer over here, i think his boss is playing games with him now.... so i guess i have to wait til he gets home today, keep those fingers crossed again today Ladies.. i'm going back to eating my candy canes again today and being depressed. I can't take this waiting game, im getting very stressed here....
I asked Mike why he cancelled and he said his boss had to run to a job site they were having problems. i don't know if i believe that or not? What do you guys think or am i just over reacting ?

i know Marilyn i also have a company truck and you are right it does save you thousands.. just hoping Mike gets his. i just feel like crying right now.. i can't take this waiting, his boss better meet with him today, i told Mike to call him at lunchtime and make sure you are meeting him today at 4:00... and he said he'll call him again.. so it's another day of waiting... :( :( :(

[Marilyn]

Relax, and try deep breaths......Under the circumstances, you are not over reacting. However, look at this from the bosses perspective. He may have actually had a crisis on a job and that was the higher priority for him at the moment. He determined the talk with you hubby could wait a day. He may not realize the anguish he is causing.

We will hope for the best of news today!!!!

with working, painting at home my house is a mess, and a first Birthday party coming up. i'm just cracking up, i just have to much on my plate this month..

[Janet]

We all have months like that for sure. My last 10 years have been like that....LOLOL.

I hope he gets to speak with him today so you won't have to wait any longer.

[HALEY]

Ok he finally met with his boss yesterday and the first question his boss asked him is what is it going to take to keep you? I told my husband before he left to throw the question back at him and ask you boss how much do you think im worth to keep? But he didn't he told his boss about the 12 cent raise and his boss didn't believe him, he said he'll get together with the girl at payroll.
So Mike said the meeting went well and he told his boss what he wanted or he's leaving next month to take this job with the other company, and his boss said he will look everything over this weekend and get together with payroll and see what he can do for him and get back to him Monday or Tuesday..
I was like great we have to wait more days now, but i guess it's better than a no we can't help you.. so i'll keep you ladies posted when i hear something.
Thank you again for all your prayers.

[Janet]

Hey...so far that is good news. Keep positive thoughts and I will for you!

[HALEY]

Thank you Marilyn well know today or Tuesday! He asked for another $2.00 an hour, a company truck and a gas card. so well see. or he told his boss he's leaving.. it's a shame he's been with this company for 17 years, he's a foreman, and don't even have a company truck, what really made him mad, was some guy that don't know crap about his job got a 47cent raise and he's only been there for a year! not fair... That 12 cents was such a joke...

[judy]

I hope everything went well Haley. It's Tuesday!

[DianaB]

Well............???????

[Tink]

My fingers are getting cramped keeping them crossed this long. LOL

Lets hope it works!

[HALEY]

I hope everything went well Haley. It's Tuesday!
Haven't heard anything yet, my Husband is going to call him today.. His boss is making this a very slow process, when all we need is a yes or no answer.... i hate this waiting game it's driving me crazy... i'll let you ladies know as soon as i hear anything, hopefully very, very, soon...

[HALEY]

My fingers are getting cramped keeping them crossed this long. LOL

Lets hope it works!
Tink i'm sorry your fingers are getting cramped, my husband did call the office yesterday, and they said Don was out of the office, so he's going to call again today.. it's driving me crazy, hopefully you can uncross them today.. my husband said he'll call me as soon as his boss calls him back today, but i'm calling him at lunch time and see if he called him back yet !! before i crack up over here.

[Tink]

I'm sorry they're keeping you in suspense Haley.
I hope you get the answer you're hoping for very soon.

[HALEY]

I'm sorry they're keeping you in suspense Haley.
I hope you get the answer you're hoping for very soon.
Thanks Tink, i just talked to Hubby about an hour ago, he said he'll call again at lunch time, i think he's getting frustrated with me buggy him too.. we'll i just want to know what the answer is, and he's getting mad at me... His boss told him Tuesday not Wednesday. right? or am i bugging him to much?
Why can't his boss just give him an answer?
i guess im just a pain in the ass sometimes... :(

[HALEY]

OK IT IS AFTER LUNCH AND NOTHING YET !!!!
I AM FLIPPING GOING TO SCREAM !!!!!
:confuse2: :confuse2: :confuse2:

[Marilyn]

Haley, so hoping you have good news very, very soon!!!!!!!!

[HALEY]

Haley, so hoping you have good news very, very soon!!!!!!!!
Thanks Marilyn, nothing yet and it's Thurday, my husband is discussed!! He told me last night he's not calling his boss anymore, he called twice this week, he said what he had to at the meeting and if he don't want to return his calls, he will just leave in March and go with the other company.
I'm just praying his boss does call, i don't want him starting another job right now with a small baby at home, it just means he'll be traveling more, and i'll be home with the baby alone, and it's hard by yourself.
But i still have hope he'll call him, still praying on it.
let you guys know as soon as my husband calls, im not going to bug him anymore, being that he's pissed off enough already, i don't want to add fuel to the fire. so i'll wait for the call. he said he'll call as soon as he hears anything...
so i'll sit here depressed again today :( :( :(

Yeeeeeehawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[DianaB]

Oh Wow!!!! That's great news!!!!! It sounds like you should all go out to eat tonight to celebrate!!!

(Tink, where did you find that Smilie? That is so cute!!!!)

[katcarasella]

Haley, hang in there. The corporate world is different than our world, papers and messages just sit on peoples desks until they get around to that pile. I've been where You are right now, and it is so stressful. You're probably asking yourself why can't they just pick up the phone and tell us something. The waiting game is the worst.
I'm keeping your family in my prayers.

[CoyoteQueen]

good lord, I read that thread from start to finish. I dont even know you but toward the end I was holding my breath and had knots in my stomache!!! what wonderful news!!!! So glad it worked out so nicely!

[Tink]

Diana, I go to photobucket, put in search what I want to say... in this case "Happy dance" and see what's there! They have a HUGE number of images for most every occasion.

[HALEY]

Oh Wow!!!! That's great news!!!!! It sounds like you should all go out to eat tonight to celebrate!!!

(Tink, where did you find that Smilie? That is so cute!!!!)

Were going out after Micah's first Birthday party, just to much to do this week. Plus he's got the flu again, so he's really not in an eating mood, but that nice first paycheck i'm taking him out, he's been working 10 hour days plus 8 hours on Saturdays, so this pay will be nice.. Thank God can get caught up on the bills and get some food in the house.
Thanks for all the Prayers ladies, it worked !!!! :59: :59:

[Marilyn]

Just have to say again how happy we are for you!!! You are very obviously a very hard working caring young couple who deserve to be rewarded for all your efforts. Remember to keep God first in your lives, do your best to follow His Word and He will reward you. Not that there won't be tough times. That's how He teaches us, but if you maintain your focus, life will be good.

Thank you Marilyn, we had our shares of tough times, if i had the time i could write a book! God will always be first in my life, like i said before he has blessed my family more than once, especially my beautiful son at home that i waited 37 years for. I just feel so less stressed right now, my bills will be caught up finally...
Thank God, a happy day...

[Dobie]

What great news, I'm happy your husband got what he asked for and won't have to take a new job.

Thank you, it's been a tough year, with a new child and remolding our fixer up house we got, most of our savings we used, and not to mention how much a new baby cost. which someone told me these things? but you live and you learn, now i can focus on getting the bills caught up, and set up a better budget plan than i had, but i don't care how much you budget unexpected bills poop up and that's what happen to us, doctors visits, car repairs, furnance broke down. the list goes on. But i am working on my budget for this year, and it's looking good, putting money back into savings for a rainy day. so life is getting a little better in our house. Now i have to work on my boss for my raise in April:D figures my raise is on April fools day? Hummm i wonder why the company did that... he he
