What rhymes with bells and starts with an H?


You just won't believe what I did! I didn't turn in my last assignment for one of my classes. Normally all assignments are due on Sunday midnight so I just thought the same for this assignment. The problem is that is the a HUGE part of my grade..worth 150 points. The good news is...if I am unable to turn the paper in, I still pass. The grade structure is:

70-79 = C
80-89 = B

Without the assignment I end up with a grade of 79.7. Does this mean I get a C or do they round and I get a B? Or will the number be shown only??

UGH! What a waste of time and energy to make sure I pass all these weeks with a high A to do something as stupid as this. Live and learn...

Not much new

Work is going fine, other than it is blazing hot in the office all the time. The air conditioning just doesn't work. Everyone is dying and it isn't' even hot outside yet.

I have lots to do today. I have to finish my homework for school, do laundry, pay bills and clean my bathroom. It is going to be a busy day.

Thursday

I have already gotten someone in trouble at work!! (I promise you...I didn't mean to!)

One of the girls in the back office asked me how I was doing, if I liked the job and if anyone was being mean to me. To the last question I answered, "Of course, who would be mean?" She didn't answer. I then asked another girl, one who I work next to who I have a pretty good relationship with if she was going to start being me to me or if she knew if there were people who would be mean to me. She was dumbfounded....she said who told you that and who said that?? I told her about the conversation I had had and she asked who with and I told her. I said, "Oh no...What is going on or should I ask?" The girl who asked me if anyone was being mean is a loner. She and another gal share an office in the back...an office, which I am supposed to be sharing with them. I have been taking it day by day knowing that I didn't want to go back there with them because you can feel the friction. Today I was asked to step outside with the 2 bosses and discuss what had happened. I was thinking to myself this really isn't happening is it?? They assured me everything was fine with me. I told them Carol didn't jump out and point blank say anyone was going to be mean that she was being nice asking if everything was going well. I did tell them I knew there was friction and that I was worried about joining them in the back. I am a very friendly person and I thought I may have trouble adjusting but would do whatever I needed to. The 2 bosses started putting out suggestions as to where I could be moved to other than that office. They really enjoy having me and want to make sure I am happy.

Isn't that just awful. Been there 1 week and 1 day and poop has hit the fan.

Tax Day

I had no idea....I thought I had a few more days. Luckily, I have already submitted my federal...now just have to do the state one. I guess this is one of the things, which I will be doing tonight.

Work is going okay. Sure wish I had more interesting and stimulating work to do...

UPDATE: I got my taxes done and paid for! Yes, I said PAID. I ALWAYS owe on my taxes and I am SICK of IT!!

Black and White

A meeting with the new girls...and I guess I am going to have to return some of the items I purchased in order to buy different uniform type clothing. This is okay with me really....So I am going to order 3 different black scrub jackets online today so that I can get my hospital discount. I am not allowed to wear the scrub pants. I decoded to go online and get some black and white polo shirts and wear those with the scrub jacket as an uniform. Make it easy on myself....I can wear jean skirts (WHEW!) but have to wear stockings (NO FREAKING WAY!) So I am going to purchase knee high socks. This dress code is going to take some getting used to but I am okay with it! I am so happy to be where I am!

So Far So Good

I am really tired and could fall asleep at any moment so if I nod off while writing, forgive me.

Things went well today. I got a lot done and had fun too. What really stinks is my first check will not be here until the 25th and it will only be for 3 days, then 2 weeks later (May 9th) I will get a full check. That is stinky!!

Everyone in the front office wears black and white. I don't know if that is a policy or if that is the colors..no one has told me yet and I don't want to know. I will continue to wear all the colors of the rainbow until otherwise told not to. I don't work in the front office but my manager wears black and white and she is over the front office and me.

First Day

It was a pretty good first day! I got a lot done and got to take a ride on the space shuttle....just kidding, the shuttle (bus) which goes between each of the hospitals and took a tour of the hospitals. I learned I can take the shuttle to eat lunch at the hospital and much more! I also learned that I get an hour for lunch!!! Everyone is nice and I am a happy girl so far!

Looks like I am off


TO WORK TOMORROW!! Hurray! I knew all my tests would come back okay, I just didn't know if all of the results would be in today or not! I am really looking forward to starting this new job!

Other news: I was really, really upset with my class, which I am taking and told the professor I was re-thinking my eduction plan. Something has happened, which I don't want to discuss but it seems the professor may have come around to my side. If this is the case, things could work out for me. More on this subject later!

Been A Good Week

I should hear today if all my blood work has come back to the hospital. I am not worried about the results because they will be okay...I am just waiting to hear if I get to work tomorrow or not. The doctor said it was pushing it to get the tests back by Tuesday afternoon. I have a little issue with that statement. My appointment was around noon on Friday. I had the blood work in the same hospital as to where the results need to go. So the lab had 1/2 day on Friday, all day Saturday, all day Sunday, all day Monday and all day Tuesday (until 4 p.m.). I know the lab doesn't close down on any of these days so what is the hold up? Maybe I am being unrealistic...I don't know. At any rate, it has been a good week. The sun has been shinning and the weather has been beautiful. If my test doesn't come back for another day than I am not going to be upset. I am just enjoying it with my niece. Everyone is off this week. The girls are on spring break and Paul took the week off too. I am excited to go back to work and be with nice people. It has been YEARS and I am looking forward to meeting and working with good people. I was told there was a total of 8 of us and 3 doctors. That is a nice little staff. (MGR) said they all work together and really take care of each other like family. It was important for them to pick the right person to fit in with them and they picked ME! I am so HAPPY so this is why I can't wait to start! For now, I am going to sign in to my class and do some homework. TTFN!

Stuffed and not just the monkeys

We went out for dinner tonight. I heard Maggie say she was starving but I really had no idea. She ordered a hot dog and applesauce. Before I knew it, she had eaten the entire hot dog! Then she ate 3 or 4 bites of her applesauce. She got to get a dessert and she picked (kids size) Oreo sundae. She ate almost 90% of that! We knew she had to be stuffed because this child NEVER eats! When we got in the car she asked if we could go walking somewhere because she was stuffed. We had to laugh at that and since we needed essentials, we went to Target and walked off our dinner.
She is very excited right now, in the dollar section we found monkey slippers and blanket. She is bouncing off the walls and just said she is enjoying her slippers and monkey blanket. She is a very funny girl.

Tests

Today I had to go and get my drug screen tests and blood tests done before I start on Wednesday of next week. I can't wait to start working again. It was really fun today when different people in different departments asked me where I was going to be working. When they heard, everyone had something good to say about someone who worked there. They were saying how nice so and so was and how giving doctor so and so was. To hear from different people who knew someone where I was going to be working and having only good things to say made me very happy to know I am going into a good place.
