I could never be a telemarketer. I hate talking on the phone and I'd feel guilty about bothering people.

There are plenty of people here in new zealand who find waiting to speak to someone in a company very annoying especially the music and the fact that they are in a que .

There are heaps of obama memobilla in the washington like obama flip flops as you americans call them here in new zealand we call flip flops Jandals

Doubt it. Busy day tomorrow cos I work all day Saturday. I hate day shift. Really I do. But I get to spend the day with that sweet lil baby, and I seriously need the money. is this little one a boy or girl? any chance of nights with them? i have to go downtown early a.m. in 4 degree weather, early night for me. guess what? tues. i go to look at a friend's daughters mac book! she isn't taking that to a foreign country.

NurseBettyLu
01-23-2009, 04:08 PM
Little boy, a very tiny two. Multiple problems stemming from extreme prematurity (23 weeks). Completely ventilator dependant, and a total cuddle addict. So guess what I'm gonna do all day tomorrow? Will pray and send toasty thoughts your way. Good for you on the mac book! I know you're excited. I'm PC, can we still be friends?

jesus loves me
01-23-2009, 04:24 PM
A cuddle addict: sweet! he really came early. yes, we will still be friends even though i'll be a mac and you a pc! it'll take more than that to end our friendship. hope i like this one. the price is right meaning i'd have money left to buy a program or two.

How odd to see you on at this hour, Beth.

NurseBettyLu

I was just setting up to sell things on etsy. My body has no idea what time it is. Working a different shift than you're used to is very disorienting. Wow, you lasted loads longer as a phone jockey than I did. Hats off to ya.

Maybe you could get a good deal at Circuit City since they're going toes up.

jesus loves me
01-24-2009, 04:30 PM
Maybe you could get a good deal at Circuit City since they're going toes up. mac= apple store. that's ok because they have classes i can take, a genius bar etc. costs, but the gov. says the money has to be spent by oct. or i lose my ssi checks and would need to reapply - and hope.

NurseBettyLu
01-24-2009, 04:37 PM
Well, get to spendin' then! Classes, huh? Sounds good. I made a choker out of that orange hemp. Even found a bead to match for the clasp. Snazzy lookin'.

I'm gunna start making my floral arrangements again! YAY! Lol when I get some money I'll make pens for all of you guys! Even you Pam! But we'll have to wait because I gotta make some pens for Shabby Gomer first, she's been waiting already. I'll likely set up my PayPal to sell my floral designs, pens and such, and also my graphic art. I hope PayPal doesn't charge too much to be a merchant!

Paypal doesn't charge for merchant setup, but they take like 2-3% from each sale.

Pens are always always handy since at parachute i got some pens from voice of the mytars and i would love more pens since i write in my journal a lot and also write down the notes my pastor has on the power point display when he teaches on sunday mornings yeah toddlers church kicks off this weekend and my team is back on the 22nd february so looking forward to seeing my little darlings

He'll be okay. Cats are seldom injured in a fall unless it's from a big height. Mine are so adventurous they wind up falling alot, nothing wounded but their dignity.

pamcharlie
01-26-2009, 04:05 PM
Both he and charlie are so adventurous and guess what i was sitting in the bleachers at parachute and i had to rescue my sunnies from falling down the bleachers and so i had to get them from in front of where i was sitting and guess what i have hurt my ankle so please pray it doesn't hurt when i do pilates it only hurts when i walk so please pray

NurseBettyLu
01-26-2009, 04:31 PM
Oh, your poor ankle! Remember RICE. Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. And an x-ray wouldn't be a bad idea, either.

Genna14
01-26-2009, 04:55 PM

Yeah I saw that and it seemed kinda high priced. Plus I'd have to charge for shipping. Etsy might be the way to go.

NurseBettyLu
01-26-2009, 05:03 PM
It seems like a good thing to me. They charge 20cents to post an item for four months, and 3.5% when you sell. I could be making a little spending money on something I love doing anyway.

Genna14
01-26-2009, 05:18 PM
Hmmm 3.5%? Idk...Maybe Paypal is the way to go. How do you do S&H pricing? Do you have to look up the weight and stuff?

NurseBettyLu
01-26-2009, 05:27 PM
Not sure, just getting into it. I don't plan on doing big volume, just enough to support my bead habit.

Genna14
01-26-2009, 06:47 PM
I may start selling jewelry too and I can do that on Weebly, set up my own store front and stuff. Will have to do some math.

Hey Jason, what does it mean when they say "2.9% + $.30USD"??

Celebrex helps some, but Voixx was pure heaven. My right sacro-iliac joint is falling apart, and I have a herniated L4-L5 disk. Hurting right now. Limits my work, too. Can't handle real heavy patients. Gage was starting to get too heavy for me. Thank God he can walk now.

NurseBettyLu
01-29-2009, 04:39 PM
I visit my chiro and my accupuncturist often. Accupuncture really helps the diabetic neuropathy in my feet. I was thinking of suggesting you try it, it has shown good results for fibromyalgia and carpal tunnel as well. Most insurance covers it, mine does. Oh, and yes, I'm working with Morgan Saturday 7p-7a, and Monday 3p-7a. Can't wait!

Situation improving. My staying late this morning got me up to 40 hours this week. Picked up a permanent shift every other Saturday with another baby a lot like Peter, and there are four pending new pediatric cases awaiting approval, will know more next week. And there's still fill-ins every week with Morgan. I should be okay. Asked for a raise yesterday, office manager put in for approval on it with the regional office. It's been almost two years since my last raise, chances are good I'll get it.

Me too. Crime is going to be around until the Second Coming.



Apologies for hijacking the thread, I just wanted to share the weeek I have had. I have had a weird few days.

I stood and watched a person with no heartbeat resucitated by a police officer giving CPR <Amazing>.

I followed two burglars from the scene of a crime for two miles - tracking their footwear through the snow - until I got attacked by a group of youths throwing snowbals at me (the trail eventually petered out in a shopping precinct where the snow was all trodden down).

I investigated a crime scene where someone telephoned in finding the vehicle stolen from the scene in their garage before I had even finished fingerprinting the house.

I also investigated a rape and a kidnapping and drove out into the countryside in s snow blizzard (I rarely get out of the city).

As well as performing my usual duties of examing stolen cars, criminal damages and burglaries.

Tomorrow I visit my mother and we are going up North to celebrate her birthday with the rest of my family.

I had a week off work, and then back on duty for a week of late shifts.

Right now, although I am exhausted, I am sitting here at 5 am waiting for the birds to start singing (they seem to start earlier when it is cold and snowing).
