Why don't one of you MQ whiners start a blog so the rest of us with the good sense NOT to stay with a crappy company don't have to see your "poor me" posts. It is not that we read them, it is just a pain to have to navigate around them. If you don't have the sense God gave a goose and leave a company that treats you so shabbily, then you deserve to be there. Just don't subject the rest of us to your pity parties. Someone start a blog, where you can all go and whine to each other, while your kids "starve". Btw, if your kids were starving, it would be your faults for not getting a job that would buy your groceries and pay your bills.

Someone have some pity on me
I came late to the discussion and missed the recipe. Anyone willing to share. It sounds like a winner and I would love to try it over the weekend. Thanks everyone. Have a great day.
Not Pity...Far from it
looking for other peoples scenarios and how they did it...to help support me....to realize that I'm not the only one this has happened to and won't be the last ...and that it can be done...and one can still raise happy, healthy children with a split family...
I don't remember asking for YOUR pity; other than that you are
preaching to somebody else. And stay out of posts with the letters MQ in them
maybe your life will be the nirvana you are so used to living in.
In the meantime we are trying to deal with the situation we have found ourselves
in. And if this company is hiring people when there is no work, if they are
misrepresenting themselves, then while we are digging out, we'd like to
discuss it as much as we can here, and hopefully find some help and support
while making the next steps.
You can go on to whatever it is that makes you happy. Obviously you need to stay out of this.
No pity from me, you are keeping yourself down.
So this company is hiring when there is no work, so they are misrepresenting themselves. You know that, so get out. How is whining on this board dealing with the situation? Any new hires will find it out soon enough and hopefully have the sense to leave. All the "discussing" in the world isnt going to pay your bills. And besides, no one said you couldn't discuss, just go do it on a blog where someone is going to care. We are getting sick of whiners who refuse to help themselves by taking action.
It's a real pity.....
In my office, I have a 40-inch plasma TV hanging on the wall and a stereo sound system that could just about rival any club's, but when I work, I work in total silence - don't even have the T.V. on because it will prompt me to turn it up. And forget the music playing softly in the background because that would only prompt me to crank it up to the max and then, of course, I wouldn't get ANY work done!!! (Ah dew LUV ma' music!!) 
Oh for pity's sake
How about Americans get used to the fact that their country is a mixture of different peoples/culture/languages and try just a little harder to understand and be understood?
Or would that interfere too much with the American Arrogance factor? :)
Maybe she will take pity on me and offer help..sm

Brandi throws the best parties....
We did used to have a wild time. I absolutely love TQ now that it is no more. I used to have so much fun and got paid to do it. Man--I was making $ hand over fist--bought my house--paid cash for all my furnishings, etc.--worked my @*#% off but it was great!!
Our block has parties a lot that go well into the night. sm
They have even had a couple of bands come and play. This was a problem last year for me because I needed my sleep and worked weekends. This year, it will be nice since I now work nights. For a short street, it is really lively.
who hates candle parties?
I hate Pampered Chef parties and all those that I get invited to where it is really about me paying for junk.
Who else hates these things?
Anyone going to any Harry Potter midnight parties?
No midnight parties here, but love the books!
I've only seen the first one at the movies, but I'm not much of a movie or TV person. More of a reader. Can't wait to get the book to add to the collection. Started the collection with my son who has lost interest at 15. He looks like Harry though. He went to the playground one day when he was 12 (dark hair, little round glasses) and all of the little kids were screaming, "It's Harry Potter! It's Harry Potter!" and running after him. He said, "MOM, IT WAS AWFUL!" He now has contact lenses and he put his magic wand away.
Xmas parties where the Prez gets silly,
company-covered bar tabs, having someone come and listen to your blanks, staff meetings, being able to look someone in the eye, your supervisor inviting everyone over to her house for brunch on Sunday. Having the choice whether to work in the office or work at home.
The downside? The typical problems working with a bunch of women. Then there was the fact that I was not a social butterfly and didn't like the endless requests for money to fund birthday, wedding, baby, sick, divorced, married parties, Tupperware, Chef this, Southern that yadda yadda yadda fests. The lunch you were so looking forward to no longer being the in fridge, but the wrapping is in the trash. A favorite reference book being found on someone else's desk at the other end of the hall. And she smokes. Ergo, your book now smells to high heaven because she sneaks her smokes in the office during her late night shift, and her nasty, smelly fingers have been all over it (only a nonsmoker will understand how awful this).  And she claims she doesn't know HOW the book got there when you ask.
Would I do it all again? In a heartbeat.
they always have and always will have hurricaine parties and joke about death.
I grew up in hurricaine country - there are folks who would much rather die at home. I do not understand it, but I know that its true.
they are the only parties that I go to anymore....great food!

Is this beauty control? I use to sell, but never did parties. SM
I had my opening party, but that was it. I served the food at the table in the kitchen. Everyone just helped themselves and then sat in the chairs I had out in the livingroom to eat. Once we got started, everyone pretty much disposed of their plates and then settled in. I think it worked out good. I had everything ready when they showed up, but I think that everyone pretty much waits until other people get there before they start eating. I would definitely offer drinks when they get there though.
The menu sounds great, so don't worry about that. Seems like a lot of variety for them to choose from.
Don't be nervous...just relax and enjoy it. That's the purpose of the spa party :) Good luck!
There were in-house parties, donuts, 40 work week.

I guess I'm the odd ball; I LOVE going to home parties! sm
But on the other hand, I HATE shopping. I do the majority of my shopping from home parties -- Lia Sophia (sp?) jewelry, Tastefully Simple (a fave), Pampered Chef. I'm waiting to go to a Southern Living Home Show but haven't been invited to one yet.
I hate any of those "obligated to buy junque at a party" parties

Don't mind candles, Pampered Chef, or Tastefully Simple. HATE Mary Kay parties! nm
