I usually want to know what I'm dealing with before I make decisions. Even here they don't seem to keep everyone one the same page. I've given up trying to second guess the powers that be. Just wait and do whatever it is that you want to do. If they're smart they will put you where you are the happiest. If not, there others that will. Hope it all works out best for you.what'supwithsusanandcompanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13314263752153548219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-56947711914058152692012-08-05T01:07:45.457-05:002012-08-05T01:07:45.457-05:00Sure hope it works out the way u want Judy.

Another refuge we stayed one and a half days and moved on. I think we made the best choice for us in both cases. A third place Bill had a great job and I had the boss from hell.... we stayed.
