    Thanks for thinking of her! She's my snugglebug. She is doing awesome. Her ears are great again, no more itchiness anywhere. She plays now more than ever and is going to be seeing the specialist soon, to make sure nothing else is going on anywhere. I will update after we see the onc.

    IMHO it is just rude not to reply one way or the other.

    On on another note where I work we are no longer "Human Resources" we are now " Human Capitol". I don't like at moniker in the least. Makes me feel like cattle.

    Yes it is frustrating, and I get that some places get a ton of resumes so I guess they cant get back to everyone, but it feels rude.
    AND right before I logged back on here I got an email from guess who!!! How weird is that??? So I am going to see her next week! Sooo weird......

    SO I went for the interview and it sounds like a perfect opportunity to get back into career mode. They offer flexibility in that I could work from home if needed, and they offered me the job basically! So they are going to talk with their HR person about salary and once I hear their offer, coupled with PTO, we will go from there.

    In the meantime, am I getting ahead of myself in trying to prepare how I would give notice to my current job? My boss is SUPER sensitive (by that I mean mistrusting, EASILY offended, controlling kind of person)If I don't give notice perfectly he will withhold my last paycheck. In NJ it is law to provide that last check by the next pay date however this is a small business and he knows nothing of the labor laws. An employee just left-got a better offer elsewhere for more $ and he withheld her check for 3 weeks, making it 2 pay periods. I cannot afford that. What would be the nicest possible way to leave?

    There's probably no nice way to leave if the boss is as sensitive as you describe. I'd just say how nice it has been to work with them, the new job offers you more flexibility or job growth or whatever else you can think of that doesn't make him feel like you didn't really like them or the job. Keep it focused on yourself, your family, thank them for the years and opportunities you've had with them. It may not be entirely sincere in all its points but to indicate it hasn't been a good experience will just make them angry and negatively effect any future jobs for which you would need their recommendation. He may hold back the check no matter what you say. Good luck with all this!

    I would verbally tell him mentioning as little detail as possible as to the reason why you are leaving. However definitely thank him for the opportunity working there and think of a few specific positives to mention. Have the same information in a formal resignation letter so there is something in writing. Maybe you could say, my last day is going to be mm/dad and the end of the pay cycle is mm/dd and I would like to confirm my last check will come on the payday for that cycle.

    ----this will make him mad. I will have to find a different casual way of saying it because he is THAT weirdo about stuff. I have been here 9 years. Longer than any other employee and that is due to wanting to be close to my dd in case she ever needed me. He will definitely ask about why | how could I take a job that is not so close to her...ugh....lots to ponder

    yeah, but you could work from home if necessary at the new position, so even if you're a bit farther away it's more flexibility than the current job, right?
