Re: Monday Moans
Kim, I hope your work schedule slows down soon!
My moan is that DH and I have been applying for jobs and stuff and we haven't gotten any bites yet. I applied for this job early last week that I REALLY want to get - I contacted someone I used to work with back in ATL and he sent my resume and a note of recommendation to someone he knows in the office (he works in the department of the job that I applied for). He sent my contact a note back saying that I need to apply online but that I seem to have the right pedigree and would flag my info in their system. I checked this weekend and the job is no longer posted....but I haven't heard anything yet.
Oh - and another friend of mine also knows someone who works at this company and she said she'd have him pass along my resume as well.
DH thinks I should write a personal letter and send it, along with my resume, directly to the person I'd be working for. But I'm worried that that would be overwhelming. Either that - or it would show that I'm persistant. I just don't want to turn them off....I'd LOVE to have this job.
I'm so sleepy too! Ever since I found out about this job at the zoo I've just been so unmotivated about work at the clinic and working at Tiger Creek really opened my eyes to the sort of job I should be in..and its not where I am now. *sigh*
I only have one day off a week now (sun) b/c of work and volunteering. It's my own fault for adding on the volunteering, but you couldn't pay me to stop going haha. It just sucks that I have one day to sleep in
Ugh I really want this new job!
quite a bit.
DH has been putting me down a lot lately. He told me i'm not creative and that i'm not any good at photography and I can't clean some things properly. He said I was stupid to look at houses now because they probably won't be available when we move. Plus work has been pretty hard on me too. I already feel like crap about myself and now I just feel like why am I here? What am I contributing to?
H signed up for a cdl class and now I won't get any free time unless I pay the sitter and I can't do that because I'm going part time and won't be able to afford it. He's going to have class on the weekends too. no break... no fun.
We had an argument last night about him not letting me in on his plans of where we are moving. I had to learn from a friend he was thinking of Pennsylvania. He said he told me evansville indiana. It was just a big argument, never fought with him like that before.
I feel so alone, stressed and depressed.
Me too (see the post one below!)
In addition to that, I know I didn't give a 100% consistent effort at my old job, and I hope it doesn't come back to haunt me. And I was usually working 10-12 hour days, it's just the nature of the job.
And this morning DH just noticed a 3 inch gap/gouge in our hardwood floors that I think must have been there b/c I haven't seen any pieces of wood being swept up.
Deb, I'm so sorry that things are rough for you right now. I think that you need to stand up for yourself! It sounds like your DH is not treating you fairly and not being supportive at all. He should know that that's not ok with you. He shouldn't get to decide that you are uprooting your family without your input.
My Monday moan is that I think I might have broken my foot at dance yesterday. I have a performance in 3 weeks and right now I can barely walk on it.

I am exhausted and feeling liking I might be coming down with bronchitis. Today I had 5 students that weren't at school, because they were sick. I probably should have had 5 more. It was like a coughing musical in my classroom today..uggh. We also have our one field trip of the year tomorrow. I had one parent chaperone cancel because of a sick kid and may very likely have another one canceling. Uggh..it is such a pain to get chaperones last minute! Oh, and I am not feeling too well either...blah.
So so so so ready for spring break!
I'm getting on the sleepy bandwagon. The musical just closed and I have to push through this week - three NYSSMA festivals and I just am out of time. I don't have any more time to give to these kids and there are a handful that just aren't prepared. I am just WAITING for my body to give out.
My other moan is that apparently, there were massive meetings today about staffing and excessing...and they're still not letting us know! It's really getting to me.
Deb, you deserve better! Stand up to your DH - he's probably just stressed out, but that's no reason to treat you with anything less than respect.
RIP Dr. Irving Fishman - 10/1/19-7/25/10 - thank you for holding on for me.
You made my wedding day complete.
Deb I'm sorry to hear about your troubles. I agree you definitely have to stick up for yourself and don't let DH's hurtful words get you down.
My moan is that DH just started 2nd shift for 3 months...ugh. I know it could be much worse, so I try not to complain, but I hate coming home to an empty house each day and having to eat dinner alone. UGH
I am sad and lonely because DH is working the night shift now. He takes classes in the morning and works full time til 10:30pm, so he'll get home at 11. I'm used to making dinner with him and having some chill time, so this will be a huge adjustment, especially on Friday when I really want to hang out with him.
At least we'll still have an income while he is taking classes.
