Can I ask for an opinion

Am I over reacting to think that it is rather rude for co-workers, especially those I work with not even to acknowledge my loss?

The only consolation to the inepitude of co-workers was the lovely words I got from a couple of individuals at the library and my student workers.....

Really sad actually when my sisters place of employment even sent an arrangement and NDSU libraries could not even acknowledge the hardship and loss i experienced.

I am however thankful for HHW and many other firends who have been there. EVidently, NDSU libraries is more heartless than I thought.

Tomovoz,

Your song was a hit at the prayer service.

We did indeed make third best "views" day ever for yesterday.

And I do believe I shall achieve 33,000 postings before the evening ends.

I guess I should write some notes.

Probably more disorganized, and perhaps disinterested, than heartless. Does you organization have no policy for acknowledgements of deaths/births/marriages? Absent a stated policy, the chore usually falls upon the Department Manager's secretary (now probably an executive assistant).

Disorganized would be polite...

They did acknowledge one woman's husband that died before thanksgiving.

Were you eligible for bereavement time off?

der Brucer

Some work places would not officially react to the the death of a non-resident parent.

Oh, but in a few more hours.....blech!

I don't like wishing time away, but this time tomorrow night, my fettle should be fine.

I wonder how George's full weekend of performances went!

Yes, I have been there for 6 years. Immediate family members: children, parents, grandparents

Do you consider any of them to be friends?

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #442 on:** December 09, 2007, 11:36:53 PM »

no but it would have been nice. I consider my student workers freinds and the one ref librarian who did send a card

Be careful using the term "mate" - it's also derogatory!

This is news to me over here in Yankland. We get "mated" to death in Aussie movies and by Aussie performers.

In what usage is "mate" deemed derogatory?

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #444 on:** December 09, 2007, 11:39:19 PM »

Maybe I am over reacting.... It has been a very stressful week

Sleep has been fleeting...

HHW has been a blessing, if you guys here only knew how much your kind words and thoughts have meant to me. I have GREATLY appreciated them. You guys are gems in more ways than one and THis also includes the lovely ladies on the board....

I could feel the loving vibes from this board... I appreciated it

Yesterday's matinee was a good show for us...and the 12, yes 12, audience members. There are about 25 people in the cast. But we still put on a good show. Yesterday's evening performance went well, also, but it helped that we also had a FULL house (they even added a couple of extra chairs!)! They loved it! My friend Margo and co-worker Rick were there. Margo really enjoyed it and Rick told me that he did. But later, I called Margo and she said that Rick was a little hesitant about going. He was in Seattle all day yesterday and didn't necessarily want to sit through a two and a half hour show. Oh, well. He did. I think he really did enjoy it, though.

People are funny. It's possible they don't feel they know you well enough for their sentiments to mean anything to you.

That's good to know, Bruce. I probably should have waded through a few more pages than I did and truly caught up.

DakotaCelt · « **Reply #448 on:** December 09, 2007, 11:42:26 PM »
