New admin support

[EmJay]

Hi Everybody,

As some of you may know, we had quite a few changes within our workplace last year which resulted in me finding it really difficult to devote as much time as I used to, to you all here on Quit Support

Although I do my best to look in on you all each day, I find that as our community is growing, I am missing a fair few posts. More so, quite a number of you are missing out on getting your Winner's Awards for each milestone that you reach within your stopping smoking journey.

Quite often - most of the time if I'm being really honest - I am relying on Pete (Monky) and JillyGirl to give me a gentle nudge (some times it's a bit of a shove actually ) to let me know that another Winner's Badge is due

Both JillyGirl and Pete have been with Quit Support since we first started and have posted and supported you, me and each other almost everyday. They both really do go out of their way to help in anyway that they can. In fact they haven't even let certain issues such as work, family life and (dare I say it!) lung cancer and heart attacks get in their way of support!! I'd have really struggled without them

Having spoken to both JillyGirl and Pete, they have both agreed to become admin assistants within our Quit Support community. This means that they will be able to lend more of a 'hands on' help to me and ensure that you are looked after instead of having to wait until I manage to get online and sort all those badges out that Pete has been chasing round them fields and catching

Having you all supporting each other in the amazing way that you do means that I am able to look at other ways of promoting our online stop smoking family and letting others know of the valuable help and support that is available

Lets get this Quit Support show on the road - onwards and upwards eh?!

I hope you'll al please help me to welcome our two new(ish) Admin Assistants...

[droopyJ in reply to monky]

OOOOOOH look at you with your new snazzy badge..... cant you get one with your quit months as well ????

[monky Administrator 45 Months Cake sniffer outer in reply to droopyJ]

Good evening DroopyJ

Erm, Emjay court them badges, I will have to go have a look cos we are only allowed so many characters to put on a badge I think Emjay said it was 20 including spaces

If not, then I will pop a post up when I get to each month quit

What you been upto today then, sorry I havnt had time to look through the posts yet

[droopyJ in reply to monky]

then it could be 'administrator 3month' for you and obviously the same for Jilly.... it would be a shame if people cant see how long you two have been quit for as you have both worked really hard for it

Got my fringe cut (couldn't see a blooming thing) then went for a 5 mile walk... I am soooo feeling that just sat watching sport all afternoon.... F1, Equestrian now Athletics...

[shantimar in reply to glolin]

Morning to you Linda, why are you up so early? Hubby not letting you sleep

xx

[droopyJ in reply to shantimar]

[glolin LONG TERM WINNER in reply to shantimar]

couldnt sleep, Applying for a new job at work next week and couldn't switch off. At time of posting, hubby snoring his head off after a night of watching the first game of the final series and copious amounts of beer

[shantimar in reply to glolin]

that makes me laugh. Hubby snoring his head off not you applying for new job

know what you mean about not been able to swich off I'm like that all the time and my shift work doesn't help either

Off to count sheep probably get to a million tonight

Enjoy your day xx

[glolin LONG TERM WINNER in reply to shantimar]

I dont envy you doing the shift work. I did that for years working in aged care..Loved the work..but not the hours.

When i moved over to Aussie, i went from working in aged care to working with people with intellectual disabilities. Such a rewarding job. About 5 years ago i got a promotion to being the organisations Quality/safety Manager. Love the role, but at times could pull my hair out.

We get both state and federal funding and they both have a separate frameworks that we have to be compliant with ...Fun fun fun...NOT!!!!

I am hopefully for a change of role as they are after a Residential Manager to oversee the running of our 6 supported accommodation and 2 independent living.

The way i see it, a big part of my current job is fixing up, training mentoring our residential staff but with no authority so I do think i am in with a good chance.

[Belindauk 20 Months Winner in reply to glolin]

I'll move to Australia to be a support worker. I do it here in England but would be my ultimate goal to live in oz ha ha

[glolin LONG TERM WINNER in reply to Belindauk]
