There is a girl on here from Newfoundland staropeace - she is always praying to St. Tony too! (your prayers are much appreciated, Paddy!)

Wow - you guys are so nice - with all these prayers and good thoughts, it just has to turn out to be a positive thing
Thanks Holly - long time, no seeAw, girl, you're in my thoughts. Half time would be good, eh? I'm with ya on that.
So you'll know tomorrow - that's good. The waiting is hard. (There's a Tom Petty song for the all the things!)
We've been through it with the Ogre's job. As it turned out, it was the best thing ever for his career. His department got outsourced. Sometimes the worst things end up being the best things.
How's your job going - are things going well at the Parish?
My Dad had serious faith in St. Anto (as he called him)
Hey - does that say sma heed (small head) on your new avatar? - I've been craving mashed potatoes and gravy now for days!
I know, I'm ever hoping to find a balance.
We have a new priest - as do almost all the parishes in our Diocese. New Bishop, lots of changes. We like our new guy - he's a keeper. He's very different from our previous priest, but he's pretty awesome in his own special way. He's got a wicked sense of humor and I LOVE that. I feel like I need to be home more. Who would have ever thought teens need more parenting than toddlers, but yes, it's so - at least in my house. I'm hoping for an early retirement - maybe in 4 years even.
I can't wait to hear how it goes for you tomorrow!
Hi Neesy, I hope things work out well in the end. Pallister is about the worst thing to hit this province in years (the NDP may have stumbled a bit here and there but the party is always for the people and not just the profit). I notice the news joints are spewing a story saying wait times have improved and there hasn't even been enough time to get the correct numbers and analyze them! Social engineering at its worst! If you need it, I'm always good for twenty bucks or so. 
All the best, mal
All the best, mal
Awww - you're good - don't think I'll be hitting up my friends for small loans just yet.Hi Neesy, I hope things work out well in the end.

I will let everyone know what the outcome of all this malarkey is, just as soon as someone clues me in on Monday
Add my prayers and good thoughts to the pile....I really do hope any changes are positive ones!
Add my prayers as well. Hope it all turns okay.
Hope it all works out for you, sending my prayers from New Zealand.
Thanks - that's a long way off - it's already Monday there!Hope it all works out for you, sending my prayers from New Zealand.
I was originally supposed to go in tomorrow (Monday) at 8:30 a.m. but they changed it to 2 p.m.
So I'm taking that as a good omen - I don't have to get up really early and fight the rush hour traffic to get in on time!
I like good irony KittensScareMe! Good one!Hope it all works out for you, sending my prayers from New Zealand.
Nessy wishing you all the best in this uncertain time.
Thinking of you today, Neesy. 
Fingers crossed for you, Neesy.
I've been on both sides of this. One time I (figuratively) cut a couple of throats to save myself (because I absolutely couldn't afford to be laid off), another time I hopped on my sword (to save the job of a newly-single mom who needed the wage and was happier there than I could ever be, even though I was the one management wanted to retain).
Then of course there was the time I had no choice and no chance because I was on the bottom rung and had been the most recent hire. Yeah, that was fun, getting canned shortly before my 18th birthday.

Will be keeping my fingers crossed for you, Neesy.
sending you love and positive vibes, Neesy. I was unemployed for all of 2016...but then everything turned around and is awesome. You'll be okay.
Neesy, I'll be thinking of you, my friend.
