That sounds like it would be better than just using the Neti Pot I have.

It's a similar concept. With the Neti Pot, you lean your head back and pour, right? With the Sinus Rinse bottle, you just lean over a sink and squeeze the solution into your nasal cavity. I call it a power wash for my nostrils.  :lmao:

No you lean forward and tilt your head to one side and the water goes up one side and down the other, mostly cleaning out just the nose part.

So it is a similar concept. I just had the wrong head tilt direction.  :lmao:

Wow, we turned a WE Happy Hour thread into talk about cleaning out one's nose.  LOL

I got half a beer in me, I've fed the cats and myself and I'm ready for the rest of the night.  :)

Mia puts the happy back in happy hour. 

Half way through my wine here.  :cheersmate:

Well my boss must have been on her valium this week, apparently the only day she was freaking out and a total bitch was Wednesday the day I took off.   :-)

I think I've only met my boss four times in three years. I'm the lowest of lower management but as a team leader for work that takes groups of us all about town, I am the boss. LOL

No headaches there.  :p

I think my absence was part of the reason her bitch mode went into overdrive.  Oh well, I wasn't there.  She is still dropping the lines about this other VW dealership is having layoffs "practically every day!"  I'm not worried, supposedly we were going to layoff 6 this week (another rumor started by my boss) and that never materialized either.

LOL!  That's great.  My boss is the only shitty one, I love the GM and Owner.  Ehh, one day I'll be the boss anyways.   :-)

That sounds great. My boss is in an office about 50 feet away. I could do without seeing her for a year or so.  :-)

My boss told us two weeks ago, "There are going to be layoffs. I don't know who. I don't know how many. And I don't know when. But if I were all of you, I would begin getting your resumes in order."

Not fun. I've been scrambling to get things in order should I get the dreaded pink slip.

I've been analyzing and over-analyzing who might be let go in such and such a scenario. I keep praying that I'm not one of them. It's a terrible situation.  :(

Yep and all the rumors are actually coming from my boss.  A sales manager had to sit down the entire sales staff and tell them there aren't any plans for layoffs and to ignore the rumors going around.

What she said, that the bank we do our floorplanning with, said we had to do the layoffs doesn't make any sense.  They have no control over our operations, it's a bank they only care if we're paying our floorplan every month and paying off sold cars like we're supposed to, which we are.  She rules by fear and intimidation, and her starting these rumors is it.

She told the HR person a general who it was going to be, and I'm not on that list.

It's why I'm going to school right now, I'm supposedly getting my boss' job when she retires in a few years.  Or, I'll graduate give it 6 months and move on to another dealership.  :wink:

That's excellent news!

Since our e-mail came out, I've been trying to avoid all of the chatter about the layoff rumors. It just brings me and the workplace in general down. I'm working as though I will continue to have a job until I say so.

That's all you can do.  It's another reason I avoid my boss as much as possible, that's the last thing I need to hear every day.
