Re: It's Thurday, ladies
I confess that I turned down a job interivew last night. I faxed my resume to this new urgent care center about 30 min from my house....in June. The guy called last night (at 930pm, weird huh??) and said that they were getting ready to hire and they were doing interviews starting on Nov 12. I said okay, thats fine and then he said they are starting at 1. i told hm i cant do one, i get off at 4...he said okay, we are interviewing at our main office...in the villages--which is 2 hrs from where i live. Uhm?? Really? ..okay.. so then i ask him what positions are they hiring for. front desk, cna, paramedic.... no billing? he says they do the billing out of their villages office.. i politely tell him that i am looking for a billing oriented position as that is what i do now and thats what i'm in school for- i'm not demoting my self to receptionist..plus i know there is no way i'd get paid what i make now.... so i declined..thanked him but declined. I don't feel bad about my decision.
another confession: my ofc mgr is making me crzy.. this is a weekly confession. i cant stand her. ugh. she is retarded. she comes up with these stupid ideas, implements them for 4 days, and then forgets about them. ugh. today is a doozy.
My office is STILL 90 degrees, with the window open and a fan blowing in, and I am absolutely miserable sitting here at work. I filed a formal Health and Safety complaint over a week ago and nothing has come of it yet. TICKED. This place is a breeding ground for germs anyway with all of the kids and this is not helping.
Yet more mom issues. Now, not only is she not getting at all involved in my shower here, she is no longer throwing the small family-only one in my hometown Thanksgiving weekend (was going to be at my parents house only for 5 people, just so that my ill GM who can't travel could feel involved). Great, don't I feel loved. Thanks Mom.
Did I mention that it farking HOT in here?

That is sooo miserable! I am sorry you are having to sit there, pregnant through that, ew! It gets hot in here, but never 90...sometimes 75-80...our AC can't cool quick enough when its almost 100 in this great FL heat! shouldn't the weather in NY be cooling down some by now? Gosh, that is so miserable! Man, i'm trying to think of who else you can call? OSHA? Health Dept? Someone, anyone! Agh!
Uhm and that is effed up that your mom is totally ditching you! I'm sorry, again, that you are going through that crap! Do you have any other family that would be willing to give you a small shower so your gm can be included?
Sorry ladies! That's absolutely no fun. (the hot office or the crappy office mgr)
I confess I think I need to spend more $$ to go back to the chiropractor. My lovely piriformis muscle (burried somewhere under my gluts) is acting up again. I feel like I'm going to become dependent if I keep going in for it every few months. This will only be the start of my 2nd "round" of visits if I go in, so maybe I just need one last tweak! I hope so.
Kind of bummed that we have no real Halloween plans. I think I'll be riding around in a tractor or combine with DH if I want to spend any time with him. I guess I'm mostly okay with it because we don't really get trick or treaters where we live, and there aren't any major parties going on either.
Have a good Thursday ladies!
Well I thought I didn't have anything to confess, but I was so very wrong. I hate talking to my mom on the phone. Not because I don't like to talk to her, but all she ever tells me is bad news. And I know its not her fault or something, but that is all she ever has to tell me. I just got off the phone with her. Here is what I found out
1. She was on her way to my grandmother's house to help her find out about switching her insurance. Apparently since my grandfather died in July, her income has significantly decreased and her current insurance is too expensive. My mother is paying it for this month. Which also brings up questions of coverage as far as rehab centers, should something happen, and nursing homes.
2. My other grandmother has been in the hospital since Monday. Apparently she is not eating properly and her sodium drops and then somehow she ends up in the hospital. Its all sunshine and flowers there too.
3. My uncle Mike who has the very aggressive cancer has been given 5 months to live, they've stopped treatment and the tumor on his vertebra has now caused him to lose feeling on his right side. They are moving him to a hospice facility and he just has a blood clot in his lung, which caused pneumonia like symptoms. My mother is going to see them next weekend with her sister, but is debating on going this weekend too with his sister, since she figures it will be a tough drive back, considering this could be the last time she (his sister) sees him alive.
Sorry for the novel, ladies. Its just a whole lot of depressing news. ?
*hugs Meag*
my confessions this week are that I hate being so far from my family
my stepmom's mom had a mastectomy 12 days ago. they saw the doctor yesterday, and the cancer has spread. they don't know where yet, but its somewhere.
my maternal grandmother is in a long term care facility because her heart and lung problems make it so that she can't be on her own anymore.
my paternal grandfather collapsed at his home on Oct 9 and was in the hospital for a week! I never found out until he was back home because my family all thought someone else had told me
with all that going on I just wish I were closer. I'm half a country away, and I know it was my choice to move here, but it makes me wonder what will happen if someone takes a turn for the worse and I have to get there fast... the fastest I could make it is 8-12 hours, if there are flights available...
Jena - My office is in a building built in the 1800's and the heating system is VERY old. Once they turn it on for the season, it's on. No temp control at all.
I'm not planning on asking anyone for a shoer (don't think it's appropriate to do and it's not at all about the party). Just bummed that my grandma likely won't be a part of the celebration now due to distance.
Meag - I'm so sorry :-( Sounds like things are just rough now.
Jenny - Wow, that is a lot going on at once. I hope everyone gets/stays healthy.
Lisa - do what you need to do to take care of those quads. I still highly recommend a physiatrist (MD) over a chiro, though :-)
