Re: Thursday Confessions
I confess that if this one guy in my department is promoted to our team lead, i CANNOT work for him. He is so lazy and does nothing, is totally unprofessional and cant handle any stress (which is a necessary skill in this field of work). All he is good at is BS-ing to the higher-ups and he's treated like the freaking prodigal son but he's a complete loser and cant even do the simplest of tasks in his job. I cannot report to someone i have ZERO respect for.
But...all that previous stuff will be a moot point if i get laid off on Nov 10th when they let us know which positions are being outsourced adn which aren't. I can guarantee you that this loser will keep his job....urgh.
I confess that I have NO confidence in myself lately - job wise, life skills wise, weight-loss wise, ANYTHING. I feel like a failure at everything I do.

-I hate.. well extremely dislike two people at work. I can't stand them. It's to the point where I watch them drink something and I cringe. They demean lpn's because they are rn's. They think they know everything but come to me and ask me what to do. They lie and don't do things they way they should but they kiss ass so much the boss's love them. Ugh, i hate it.
-I am lonely and wish i had more people to talk to. I'm feeling bad about my body image again, i only way 119 but all I see is bulge. I think i need to stop weighing again. (i'm right there with you Kim)
-I'm no nervous and sad that H is leaving the navy and we have to go back to normal lives. If he gets the job at the railway I'll hardly see him. I'm going to be the prime money makes I suppose and will have to work 40+ hours. I feel it's always about what he wants, when am I going to get to go back to school?
I confess that I used my son as an excuse to get time off of work for an interview with a different company. I told my boss that I had to have a meeting with the school psychologist about him...which is true...we just did it after work the other day. I used that time to go to my interview this morning which went GREAT!!!
My next confession...I don't even feel guilty about it because the interview went GREAT and she will be calling tomorrow to set up a time next week for the peer interview process!!!
I confess that:
-I still haven't finished my thank you notes. We just passed the 3 month mark and I still have 20 or so to write. I want to get them done, but I just have so many pressing things to do that they get shoved to the back burner.
-I am irritated at all that goes into changing my name and not too thrilled that I have to do it and DH doesn't! I just waited in line at the DMV only to discover that they only take cash and I only had $6 on me.
-So instead of getting my new license today, I'm going to take my $6 and get Taco Bell. Then I'm going to feel badly for eating crap.
I confess that I can't seem to stop myself from eating candy at work. It's at least 3 pieces every day.
I confess that I can't stand that winter is coming soon. I like it for about the first 2 days we get snow and then I've had enough.
I confess that I'll probably be calling in "sick" on Monday.
I confess that I jam out to Adam Lambert when I'm on my way home from somewhere and it's late at night.
I confess that I am going out with the girls tonight, and I was really excited, but now I'd rather go to bed early.
I confess that the cold weather is making me want comfort food. As in cookies, chocolate, mashed potatoes with butter...basically anything not good for you.
I think I now hate HGTV. They make the home buying/selling process look so easy and fun. And it's not. I was super excited at the beginning... and now it's just a pain. Our buyer STILL hasn't sent in her earnest money b/c our lawyer told her not to!! We needed to get the heating/cooling serviced, which we did, and still have one more piece of that to finish though. My husband was out of town this week, and I can't take off work b/c I just started two months ago, I am teaching med students, and I already have taken two weeks off (b/c of my dad). So our lawyer told the buyer not to turn in her earnest money until everything was finished with the HVAC repairs (minor stuff). We had been told we just needed to show receipts/pictures at closing. That is what is in the contract!! This whole entire process just does not make any sense to me. At all.
Seriously- I am a complete procrastinator and I was always the last student to turn in big projects. I didn't turn in my dissertation until the absolute last possible second. I hit "send" for grants and abstracts at that last second as well. However... I ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS meet deadlines. I don't understand why it doesn't work the same way in the "real" world. The buyer wanted to close by Nov 15. My husband was able to get our mortgage in that time frame even though the contract for the house we are buying wasn't finished for 2-3 weeks after the contract for the condo. I just want all of this to be over, and out of the condo, and in a house!!
I confess I also don't have my thank you notes finished and we are three months out too.
I confess I put my foot in my mouth today at work.
I confess that I dream about telling the other student teacher I work with that he smells like feet. Which he does. I wish I had fresh air for the half a day I have to sit next to him and lesson plan.
I also confess that I hate teaching his lessons because they are unorganized and ineffective. There is no way 49 15 year old's are going to finish everything he wants them to do in 40 minutes on a Friday afternoon. Someday, I might just throw his lesson plan at him and walk away. After I had him some deodorant and a mint.
