well. i got my TB shot on saturday, the day after i found out that i had possibly been exposed....i watched it all saturday and didn't have a reaction. yesterday i put on a long sleeve shirt, and haven't looked at it since. well, my mom called today and asked how it was, and i looked at it for the first time, and guess the h*ll what....theres a big red circle.
i dont have it read utnil tomorrow morning......b ut as of now, that a REALLY bad sign.
-
OH No nickerbokker. Thats not good at all. I had TB when I was 6mnths old. Im sure there are alot better treatments now but I know its still not good. I spent a year in a sanitaryum (SP?) . I still get chest x-rays every year. You better get to the Dr. soon.
Take care.

Yikes!!!! Hope for the best - are you coughing or showing any symptoms? Sometimes you can have a positive test indicating exposure and not develop the full blown infection. Then the treatment is not nearly as long as with the full blown tuberculosis. I'll keep my fingers crossed. :-\
-
my read is tomorrow, so im sure i'll get x-rays from there if im not wrong and it is indeed TB.
im really staying positive here though and thinking its just a reaction to the needle....LOL, nothing wrong with being in denial right! :)
-
Denial is a very lovely place to live - glad to hear I am not it's only inhabitant!!!!
-
Nicker
My Sister and my Dad always test positive because they were in contact with me when I had it. So maybe thats all it is. A chest x-ray will tell you.

LMAO.....i love your post LOL.
i will of course let everyone know, becaue hey, its me...and all i do is talk about myself here...screw the dogs.
thanks for the thoughts

Ohhhh I am so so sorry nicker..... That is just horrible. I told hubby about you and how the family you work/worked (not sure which) for didnt tell you that they had it. And he was as stunned as I was. You know, not that it will help your condition any, but they should really be reported, TB is a serious thing and to have it and not tell your nanny who without a doubt is in very close contact with your children that is just too low, and criminal too. I am pretty sure you have to report TB to heath dep. and cdc, the sam way as rabies, measles and what not has to be reported. Back when I was a baby, they still vaccinated in Sweden, then when it was totally gone they stopped, so they have not vaccinated for about hmmmm 15 years or so, only if they have a reason to believe you are exposed, like people moving in from other countries where they do not vaccinate and it is still existing. But when I moved here, I had to take an x-ray so they knew I didnt bring anyting unwanted into the country (it is super hard to get all the papers in order before you get a permanent residence permit) And since I am vaccinated it shows up just a tiny bit on the tests, and they say that it does that to everyone who has been vaccinated (which is a form of exposure) So I am with you stay positiv, it may not be as bad as you think. And if it should be, they actually do have pretty good treatments nowadays, not saying it isnt going to be a loooot to deal with. But hey..... you always have your friends here, we are here for you and heck I am vaccinated Ill be your friend in person too ;D
Good Luck Nicker and please tell us as soon as you know tomorrow

lol, thanks for making me laugh! im on the phone with my crying/bitching/screaming mom right now, and she is just bringing me down......but then marit comes and saves the day!
lol, im so glad i have you all
-
Well not saying its not bad enough without having a hysterical mom to deal with, but to her defence, had it been my child I would have been in my car driving like the devil, going straight to your employers house and they my kid would have to visit me in jail lol..... So bear with her nicker...... its just because she loves you and is worried K.....
Im going to the movies with my kids and hubby now, so talk to you all later
Marit

That's just what I heard... Okay, I'm pulling your leg. Don't worry about it now because it won't do any good until tomorrow ;) I'm trying to be serious here but I keep remembering that I'm talking to you and it throws me off! Just drink and get drunk until you find out what it is for crap sakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's how I solve problems! And I won't even charge you for this advice ;D

-
lol, think of all the toys my kids could get if i got some dough out of them!
no im kidding......a ll i want them to do is pay my medical bills....AND TAKE THEIR DAMN KID OUT OF PRESCHOOL! how, they can send her to school when she is most likely the one who infected me, knowing she could infect 200 other kids and they could all infect their 4 brothers and sisters, is beyond me. talk about a terrible person, and a worse heart!
do you know what she said to me when i asked her why she didn't inform me of this at the interview!...she said...."well i had a friend die of AIDs 10 yrs ago, should i have told you about that too!".
i think it's me. something is wrong with me that i keep having these horrible people come into my life!
actually, im not that upset right now. denial denial denial is the key word...but at this moment, it's like "eh, at least i get it in time and life will go on". dont think that attitude will change, but for the moment, its relaly pissing off my family! LOL
-
HOLY SH*T!!!!! nicki you will be in my thoughts and prayers. i can't believe those FOCKERS would expose you and god knows who else! who in the h*ll lets their kids walk around with a disease that is that contagious! i'm freaking floored {and no, it isn't the vodka this time}!
girl - take their @ss to court. this is complete and total BULLS*IT!!!

-

-
UMMM, YES! I AM ALWAYS UP FOR CUTE BOYS! :P
-
do you know what she said to me when i asked her why she didn't inform me of this at the interview!...she said...."well i had a friend die of AIDs 10 yrs ago, should i have told you about that too!".
Well there's a bit of logic for ya!...What a ignorant*%*##*!!!!!!!!!

-
lol!...I meant by beating the crap out of that idiot!...lol...My potential pilot doing days are almost 10 years past...lol!
-
im SOOOO sorry! that's a terrible tragedy! we'll, i'll do two then
-
Ty Nicker!...You are truly a good friend!...LMAO!
-
i do what i can. ;D
-
I hope everything is OK. As was mentioned in an earlier post, because the Tuberculosis test is positive does not mean you will ever develop contagious TB. Just to give you an example, my boyfriend of 12-13 years tested positive for TB way back in 1993. He took medicine for about seven months...this was issued by the health department. That was all he could do. There is no point for him to be vaccinated.
To continue, he underwent two very lengthy high doses of chemotherapy, followed by radiation treatment for a couple of years. Even though his immune system was extremely depleted, he never became ill with TB. I don't think he ever will.
-
lol, that post just totally depressed me.
i was hoping i could snap my fingers and click my heels and it would be gone. but chemo and radiation? is that one of the "old" methods? because i haven't read anything about that thus far. i did know that i would have to start some pretty crazy drugs, and be on them for 12-24 months, which could kill my liver and kidneys, but didn't know about the C&R. was that treatment for the TB? really? or did i read that wrong?
LMAO, i REALLY hope i dont have to do that....i can't afford that! i don't have medical! the family infects me, and doesn't even pay for my medical. ugh.
-
Jeeeeesh! So sorry!
No, the chemo and radiation was for nasopharynx cancer...total ly unrelated to the TB. I was saying that if he were to develop active TB I think it would have happened after all those treatments.
:-[
-
nevermind nevermind..... .those letters/words freaked me out for a moment and i now see how wrong i read that.
where did you get your name from by the way! my family is from croatia.
-
My father is a Karabaic. Our ancestors came from Otok Krk in Istria. That's why you are so tan. What part of Croatia are you from? My sister's boyfriend is also Croatian. Do you listen to Croatian music? Crvena Jabuka? Anything like that? I was planning to go this year, but the IRS decided to do something weird with my refund, so I am still waiting for it and now it is too late this year. :'(
-
My great-grandfather Anton from Krk.
-
oh how interesting!
yes, actually, i do listen to croation music! not so much anymore...but back home, my grandpa's friend owned a croatian radio station, and he got me hooked on it when i was little. as corny as it sounds, when i miss him, i listen to it. my sisters never got into it, so it was "our" thing. when my mom was little, she was in the croatian band....and all i ever hear is about how much she hated that band and music, and its quite amusing to hear her stories about the crazy croatians! i was raised in the croatian catholic church on 4th and russell, with father bob LOL.
we are from novi vinodol. i personally have never been there....but my sisters and i have made it a goal of ours to go together and find the cottage my grandma was born in...when we complain about chores, she is sure to tell us about doing laundry on the boulders of the mediterranian. .ita annoying. we also all want to take our kids there one day....thats a different story though.
good luck on your trip! if you want, i know a certain girl with certain connections on free flights, im sure we can figure out some way to make a deal for some airfare! but i want to come too!
-
very handsome!
i love old time photos!
-
I would love to have someone else to go with some day. Let's keep that in mind...I wonder how far your town is from the Istrian Peninsula...or is it closer to Dubrovnik in the south?
-
Just look how close Novi Vinodolski is to Otok Krk:
http://www.vinodol.com/novi/lokac.htm
We could be cousins!
-
im a kriskovich and pluchinski.... ..
sound familiar LOL
-
Seriously, we shouldn't lose touch. What are the chances of finding someone else to travel with some day who is going to such a close town?
-
unless i get booted from this site, i'll be aroudn for a long time. heck, while i am in isolation, all i CAN do is play on this board!
we'll keep in touch for sure. my email, byu the way, is nicolelevick@sbcglobal.net
use it whenever you want!

Oh no! I heard that people with TB repeat themselves on message boards!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're a gonner girl...
-
o shit.
thats like 4 times today. lol, seriously, i think my brain has already been taken over by the TB. at least now i have a good excuse for typos and spelling! ha ha!
-
Okay...so, I'm not from Croatia. I'm an Irish girl, but I'll see if I can find a cheapo flight for you guys there. It is very nice having a best friend's hubby who is a pilot! Not sure he goes to Croatia...but he probably knows pilots who do!
Nicki - I'll be sure to send some pilot love your way! Us old married ladies will have to live vicariously through your exploits! LOL! okay...I'm not old...I'm not old... I'm not old ..... 28 isn't old is it????? I feel like Austin Powers today....someo ne stole my mojo! :P
-
LMAO! you're not old honey! you're in your prime!
"i'm goin' to eat your baby!" "GET IN MY BELLY!"
-
YAHOO!!!! That's right, I AM in my prime! I'm like a fine wine..speaking of, I could use a glass right about ... oh yeah...NOW! Now if I could just get my mojo back from whatever stole it, I'd be in business! ACTUALLY there is a winery called "Fat Bastard." Maybe drinking a glass of their wine would get my mojo going?!?!
"All I want is sharks with frikin laser beams attached to their heads. Is that too much to ask?"
I am an Austin Powers junky......
-
Kinda late for this post I guess, but I react to every TB test I have, and No I do not have TB, always get the big red circle, disappears in a few days, some are just sensitive to the solution. Some really have it....Hope you don't!
-
PLease don't say that 28 is old. Thats where I am and I don't want to hit 30...I like the 20s just fine!!
-
28 >:( Ill be 35 in Sept. Im finding it harder to think of turning 35 than it was to turn 30. :'(
Coonie
-
Girls girls girls, hit the breaks :P you are talking about hitting 30 as if that was somthing bad. Ill tell you whats BAD. A friend of min (who is a BIT younger) (and I never think about age) said some time ago, "you know what my mom is two years younger than you, isnt that funny??) Yeah funny......... She is 23!!!!!!! granted her mom was only like 16 when she had her, but that did not make me see the fun part though.
I am 41 for crying out loud......... DO NOT say that 30 is old, or you all will have to soooooo live through some kind of depression Ill have in a near future ;D
Nooo, really.... it is totally okay to hit 30, then 35 and then 40 (take a deep breath and a bottle of valium) the only thing you may have to do is to change hubby ::) I was married to a guy who was 3 years older than me, well that was my ex. Now I am married to one 3 years younger ;)
Marit
-
MARITS GOT A YOUNGER MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOO HOOOO!
THATS MY GIRL! WAY TO GO!
*ducks*, i cried when i turned 20 in april LMAO
-
K.... Nicker figure this....... we are all friends right..... I feel totally comfortable with you and I hope you do with me too, I never think of one of us as younger (hmmmm can that be because I am the one who is not ::) . And here comes the fun part hehehe I could be your mom and been 21 when I got you.
Sooooo I promise when 20, life is just going to get better.
How are you doing by the way, did you get any test results today???
Marit
-
yep....im positive. :o
-
I'm sorry to hear that Nicki. So, how did you get it? And what do you have to do now??
-
Ohhhhh no kidding nicker....... Are you really?????? I am sooooo sorry. You know you just have to make that family at least pay for your expenses and loss of income. This is just horrible. And that girl is still in kindergarten????? Heck, I feel like doing some serious ..ss kicking.
Do you know what youll have to do now??? Take meds or what is the plan???
Hugggs Nicker..... and you know we are always here okay...
Marit
-
i got it from the kid i was a nanny for. they had it and didn't tell me...and the little girl was always hanging on me and coughing and stuff....and well, now i have it!
im not sure about treatment..... i have to go in tomorrow at 8 am and will know more then!
-
Good Luck, I will be thinking of you and you'll be in my prayers tonight.
Marit
-
my poor mom is a mess. shhh, she stole a book from the library at lunch today and alll she has been doing is reading it. i heard that and i was like YOU CANT STEAL BOOKS FROM THE HOSPITAL MOM LOL.....she got internal medicine 2005....and the first damn sentence is "TB is the most deadly disease you can catch". granted, they are talking about people who get it and dont know they have it until its too late, or people with no medical help and stuff...and yes, any disease is in that case. but im fine...so she is crying, and i was laughing at her, and then she was crying harder, and i was laughing harder, then she hung up on me LOL.
moms not doin too good!
-
I have said it before nicker.... but dont cut her head off (at least not over this) I cant imagine how upset, scared, mad and sad I would be if it happened to my child, I totally understand her. Tell her shes got friends on this board too :D
And I am sure you'll be fine, you did catch it in time and we have such good meds and doctors today, if you feel loonely just take a trip to NC since I am vaccinated I wont be scared of you ;D Hmmmm okay I have to vaccinate my kids too :P But knowing that TB is still out there in this country makes me want to do that anyway. My baby, Jennifer is starting kindergarten after summer, heck..... now I am worried, just think about the girl who gave it to you, she was/is in kindergarten, what says there wont be a kid in Jennifers school with it...... Okay I will make an appointment with my doc. Now I REALLY understand how you mom must feel
Marit
-
GOOD NEWS....so paramount called and my interview is wednesday at 3. assuming i get the job,i will have full benefits! ah ha!
back to mom....its annoying to have to reassure her though! ya know! i HATE the fact that she is sitting here crying because of me....but seriously, its not a big deal, and even if it is it hasn't hit me yet so dont cry to me until i am worried myself! let me live in naive denial for a while! cummon!
she wasn't in kidnergarden, she was in preschool! now i feel like i should call the preschool and tell them to have all the kids checked! but im not going to touch that yet, not until mr lawyer tells me too!
-
We are hoping the best for you, and by all means live in denial for at least a little while...lol :D
-
You go girl..... hope you get the job. keeping my paws crossed.
Ohhhh and the preschool, have you told the lawyer that she is or was in preschool, or asked if anything should be done there. Man..... I cant even imagine having my baby exposed to TB and not knowing about it, that would be horrible. But I am sure since you have a lawyer now, things will be taken care of, and Good luck to you. You stay in denial for as long as you want to ::) When you tell me to, Ill give you a good shake lol....
Marit
-
lol, i dont have a lawyer yet. i need to find one. i called my girlfriend, and she was like, get me on the phone and ill have her settling before we get off the phone!
her AND her boyfriend are in lawschool LOL...i wish they could represent me! cuz i know that even if we didn't win, lisa would take it upon herself to make sure she paid LOL.
-
I read this post a bit late... but i wish all works out well for you. i think you should also pay you for stress and unessceary truma (or pay your mom at least hehe) :P. i can't believe there are ppl like that in this world who are so irrresponeible and heartless. R they doing anything for their daughter? i do hope all goes well. As for your mommy just let her do her thing and enjoy having a parent worrying about ya :).
-
i am so grateful to have her! have everyone in my life! they are all my world! i just wish she wouldn't cry for me, it breaks my heart! there's nothing i can do, im 2000 miles away, so crying just makes my heart break!
i'll be fine, no worries!
and yes, the mom and daughter are both on meds....but the thing with them is this....#1, if you are on meds, it doesn't mean you still aren't active. the TB doesn't react to every drug, so sometimes it is a lost cause if you dont get yourself checked all the time. #2, if you miss a dose, you can develope it. the more you miss, the worse it is.....so even if she is on it and they think she is safe, she might not be. i obviously got it from either her or the mom, so i dont know which is still active! all i know is im not to impressed with them.
-
Knicker, That SO FRIGGIN' BITES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...I can't believe those idiots put you in that situation...WH AT IN THE h*ll IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE???????????....I hope you do take legal recourse...The y should not get away scott free!!!...FRIGGIN' JERKS!!!!!!!!!!!!....& of coarse, the good Christian that I am, (can't you tell from my kind words here? >:() I will be praying for you.

LMAO.....I HAD NOT A SINGLE CLUE YOU WERE A CHRISTIAN! I LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes, you are one of those "good" christians LOL.
thanks!!! the praying isn't what's gonna make me better.....it's the laughing and joy i find here with all of you! but parying cant hurt!
-
Yup, I am...Just not always a very good one though I do try...Believe it or not I do Bible study every Tuesday or Wednesday...Th ere was a time in my life where I really really needed something to believe in & I believe I'll have another beer or whatever wasn't working anymore...lol. ..Now, don't get me wrong I'm not a Bible thumper by any means but I do have some pretty solid beliefs...To me, being a Christian isn't about any particular religion at all but rather how you treat your fellow man & animals every day..Now, lets just forget I said all of this & have fun...LOL!
-
Well, I don't really pray (I'm not a Christian) but I do a cool meditation/focused energy thing that not garenteed to do anything but make me feel rested! But I will give it a shot for you....and have a glass of wine, which also does nothing for you but I will think of you as I'm drinking it! If all else fails I pledge to laugh with and at you whenever appropriate (and often when it's not). THIS I'm sure will make you feel better. But I'm still gonna have the glass of wine!
Did you find out for sure yet?
Vicki
-
no, im glad to hear it. i am fascinated with religion. i have about 20 900 page books right now that i think about reading (and then i come here instead), and they are all about different religions and their beliefs and stuff. i came to a place in my life a while back and decided i needed something also. but my choice so far has just to try to be content with myself at the end of the day, and the other guy will be too. i try to be nice to everyone and everything, and do as much i can for the better of the world....and that is all i can do. i take a little from every religion, becuase im not sure that i like everything that just one has to offer.
anyway...we might get banned for talking religion on here....so thats it!
-
LOL, what ARE you talking about! they look thrilled!
thanks for the prayer! very sweet of you AND them!
-
I totally agree with you Nicker 100 %!...If you are content with yourself at the end of the day things are a-o.k.!

nikkerbokker:
Here are a couple of my best flower photos for you! I hope things get better soon. Keep your chin up... :-*
-
And one more for you...
-
ooooooooo how nice!
i love that photo!!!!!!!!!!
did u take it? and where?!?
-
ooooooooo how nice!
i love that photo!!!!!!!!!!
did u take it? and where?!?
The first photo was taken at an arboretum near the U. District in Seattle, WA. The second was taken in my back yard - also when I was in Seattle. I used a Nikon camera, but most importantly, a Tamron 90 mm Macro lens which made all the difference. :)
-
I got here as fast as I could!!! All I can say is..... I think I feel a cough coming on here? Does someone here on this board have TB or something?
NOOOOOO WAY, Nick!!!!!!! I thought for sure you would be way to stubborn to have this! But I will be in denial with you and talk about it later. But you know we are here if you need us :-*
Tell me everything about the Paramount job so I can live through you remember!?
-
I can't believe it!!! I am so sorry to hear that Nicki! I will keep you in my prayers, also!! I am sure my kids will, too. They are always peering over my shoulder when I am on her and checking out all the dogs. My oldest wants to steal your Golden, so Bailey has someone to play with. When I tell them you are the one with the Saint and Golden, they will be praying for you also!! Keep your chin up and laughter truely is the best medicine....an d on this site you are the QUEEN of that!!!

i know what ya mean by not wanting to see your mother cry.. for me i just tell myself they have to vent somehow :) i still can't believe they could do such a thing!!!. come on everyone start teaching the terrorize command to the doggies and lets go and say hi :) hehe..... j/k. but i do think you should tell the school the little girl is going to. i wish their was a website you can warn ppl about crazy families... Anyway keep smiling.. don't let this get to you... just laugh when you can and once you can ... go get wasted with friends....... once the hang over hits TB would seem like a no biggie hehehe.

Nicki,
I just came on line. I'm so sorry. I think I can speak for Marit, and Jamie, and Gypsy and tings and everybody. Say the word babe, we're there (with our big @$$ dogs) to kick some snotty Hollywood butt.
Seriously Nicki, I think these people do have to pay the consequences for their total disregard for your health. If you don't at least make their life uncomfortable now who's to say they won't do it to someone else. They probably have another nanny there right now who has no idea the danger she is in. Anyway, off my soapbox now.
Good luck, and remember your in a city with some amazing doctors so you are in good hands.
And about the age posts: I'm going to be 40 in July. So all of you teenagers now have to call me and Marit "Queen" since we outrank you. And Marit, you and I are two of the hotest looking 40 somethings around.
Tina

there is bad news about the paramount job. my F*#&$^% neighbor called me on friday when i had my TB test, and dumb me told her i had to get stuck with a needle (i was very upset about hat fact LOL)...so now shes been calling me every two minutes (SHE IS ONE OF THOSE ANNNNNOOOYYYIN INNNNGNNGNGNGN GNGNG PEOPLE, IN A HORRIBLE WAY) THAT ALWAYS HAS HER NOSE IN OTHER PEOPLES BUSINESS.....A ND WHO ALWAYS HAS TO BE PERFECT....
example:she had a work evaluation and on a scale of 1-5, 5 being the highest, she got 4 fours and 1 three. WELL SHE WENT STRAIGHT TO THE HEAD OF THE COMPANY saying she was better than that and they needed to re-evaluate her and give her a higher score or she wouldn't leave them alone....for a week, she hounded them, and then they changed her score. (sorry if any of you are like this, just dont tell me and we will be cool...i just cant stand when people whine about getting something instead of earning it)
so tonight.....sh e calls me saying "DO YOU HAVE NIGHT SWEATS, FATIGUE, FEVER, SHAKY LEGS, MEMORY LOSS", im like WHY!...well, she is now CONVINCED that i gave her TB so she is doing research on it.....CALLED PARAMOUNT AND TOLD THEM I HAVE TB, and told them she isn't coming into work tomorrow because she is sure she has it and has to go get tested.......I HAVE NOT SPENT MORE THAN 30 SECONDS WITH HER IN THE LAST MONTH! I WALKED PAST HER DOOR WHILE IT WAS OPEN....THATS ALL......
well, now paramount knows that i am a walking disease (which I WOULD HAVE TOLD THEM if need be), but she took it upon herself to do so. so im guessing i wont get the job....because she is annoying.
anyway....im really pissed about that. forget everything that is going to happen for the next 24 months, and the rest of my life....but then she has to go freak the h*ll out and CALL PARAMOUNT AND TELL THEM MMMMYYYYYYYYYY YYY BUSINESS! arg!
im pissed off today!

Oh my gooooosshhhh.. . You have the same neighbor as me! I'm telling ya, you described my neighbor (on the left) to a T! I always call her Mrs. Hooper from Desperate Housewives bc she's so nosy! We had a huge down pour a few weeks ago and it flooded our cul de sac and got up to her garage -- ACT OF GOD!! Well, she has to have someone to blames so she sets up a meeting with the city and is accusing them of putting the wrong drain pipes in our neighborhood. Mind you, the whole thing drained in less than 45 min. and there was no clog or anything. The rain just came down hard and fast and big. I personally thought it was cool and went out in my boots to have some fun! I just shake my head at her, but if she ever went anywhere near my bidness, I would unleash HOLYHELL ON HER A__!!!!! You should have a friend go knock on her door and when she opens it, jump out from hiding and cough all over her!!! Throw in a sneeze too for good measure! NOBODY MESSES WITH MY NICKER! I outta come down there and... and.... and.... damn I don't know what I'll do til I get there, but people shouldn't be able to be annoying like that.
I have to go make a head dress now....
YAAAAAAYAAAAAA A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

update on heather.....
so i was pissed all night that she used my name....and when i called her last night to talk, she didn't pick up her phone. so i called her today to talkabout it and she picks up and im like "hey" and shes like "hey...whats up" and i was like did you go to the doc and she said yes. and i was like i just wanted to chat really quick (I WAS BEING TOTALLY NICE AND RESPECTFUL), and she was like what......
i said, i JUST found out less than 24 hours ago that i have a disease that i will deal with for the rest of my life....and i was thinking maybe out of respect of me and our friendship that you could NOT use my name in the future and just say neighbor or friend or whatever.....w ell, she started yelling and said i dont have time for this and hung up on me. SOOOO then she called back 5 minutes later and started yelling again saying that its not like i have a STD, its not my fault, but to do the responsible thing is the respectable thing and that i exposed her who exposed everyone at work and so on and so on and so on....and i YELLED that its my damn business and i will tell people, ESPECIALLY IF I AM WELL ENOUGH TO GOTO THE INTERVIEW, and its not her place...and she said yes it was and i said F$%K YOU and hung up......she called me back when i was walking the dogs and left a message saying that i just lost a job, that i obviously wasnt responsible enough to be able to handle a job and hung up. i called her back, at that point not even concerned about the job, and said....so much for friendship hey!....and she said i dont have time for you anymore, have a good life.
lmao. is it wrong that i want her to not be around anymore?
i never "liked" her anyway......bu t i was her friend for a while since she was new to the area and didnt know anyone else.
i cannot believe someone who claims to be my friend would run around and do that.....or blow something up like that!
whatever. PEOPLE SUCK LOL, REMEMBER THAT! nickis advice for the day

Okay.... I was scared there for a minute. I was off BPO last night (brother in law just got seperated and came over to get some support) and today has been h*ll at work. So, when I got into this post and saw that Nicki was mad at "Heather" I was thinking....wh at in the heck? LOL!!
Oh, Nicki, I am soooo sorry!!!!!! This TOTALLY SUCKS!!!! So, what is the next step... besides you being shipped off to Leper Island and me finding a Haz Mat suit big enough to fit over my BPO Ya-Ya Headdress? Do you start taking medicine? How often do you have to go to the doc?
I am ready to UNLEASH THE DEVIL on that woman and I am an Irish readhead, so y'all can only imagine what that looks like! ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!
Anything we can do, besides unleash the demonic chihuaua??!!??
Hugs,
Heather
