Looking down - Day 3 Taken Feb 25th

Front view - Day 3 - Feb 25th

Birthday card I painted

First painting ever completed

Been sick and unable to rest. This is what I have been doing, while others sleep. It's my can't sleep project.

Studying

Having some doubts about me passing a test, which I have to pass in order to keep my job! I guess this test is really difficult. It is 5 1/2 hours long and almost no one passes the first time it is taken. My biggest problem is sitting down and studying. I have never been one to study and have always "passed"....but never really did anything more than to just pass. The studying bores me and I end up falling asleep on my books. I don't know what to do. I am going to set up a plan for myself in the next day or so and have to work on breaking down the parts I need to learn and hope that is enough. I don't have much time to learn everything. Hopefully I can get a 70% or better and just "pass".

1 1/2 hr to go

I want to go home and sleep! To bad I have to stay and work! AND I am hungry!!!

Fruit, then had cup of coffee with no sugar or creamer. Yuck

Having a breakdown. Trying to study and everything seems so loud in the deli. I guess today isn't a good day to do this.

Does this still work?

Really February 1st?

That is the last time I have written? WOW! I have been so into Facebook, I almost forgot about my blog...until I asked a few friends to upload photos of their shopping trip so I could see what they bought. Then remember....I have a site too!

Man, I must go, Maggie can't find her cord for her DVD player and refuses to let me rest until it is found.

More later...

I promise.

Facebook

I joined the world of Facebook in 2007 and asked friends to join with me. I did have some respond to the request but it isn't fun unless others decide to actually play and use the site. Now it seems everyone has decided to play. What is really weird to me is that most of those people have a slew of friends and I have just a few and I have been on this site for a long time. Oh well, it isn't the quantity but the quality...(That is how I am getting through this...LOL!)

I find myself today stuffed up and unable to breathe. I dislike waking up in the middle of the night and finding a desert of dryness in my mouth. Woke up about a million times...and today I am so tired because of it.

I am trying to get my family to go to a new Mexican restaurant, which I found. My brother is not cooperating with my wishes. He hates leaving the house. I am so wanting to do something outside of the house even though I don't feel great...I want to leave.

Funny, VERY Republican Brother

My brother is so funny sometimes! Tonight he went on and on about the change, which we should hopefully see soon in America. He said he didn't think it would happen overnight but expected something to happen by Friday afternoon. On and on he went with his ideas and thoughts. I have to admit I am excited to see some new blood in the White House, even though I am not Democrat, (Liberation I am!)...but still looking forward to having good things to happen...even though I am very doubtful I still pray and hope for the best...anyway back to my brother. My SIL asked what others at his work did today and he said at 12:01 he and others ran up and down the halls waving American flags and sang God Bless America. With that...I blew my chili out of my mouth and into Maggie's hair!!! I couldn't believe I did that! It was like a fountain!! This day I will always remember the day history was made and then also remember blowing chili out my mouth and into Maggie's hair.

Short Hair = Bad Weed

I got my haircut yesterday by a new person. OMG it is short. Cute style but not on my face shape. I won't cry like I used to when I was young and it mattered so much to me. I will just be mature and know my hair grows like a weed in a manicured garden.

I am thankful for my job but I have to say, there are a few ladies who are so immature it makes it difficult for me to work with them. Two of them report directly to me and it is extremely difficult to ask them to do anything without them overreacting. They also enjoy talking about me and other people. Funny they seem to be best friends but yesterday one was talking about how the other was so lazy. Of course this is never to me but my manager who told me one of them told her this. I told my manager that having one say the other was lazy was calling the kettle black...or at least I think that is the old saying.

My friend Luci, in case everyone didn't know already, is pregarant. She found out yesterday she is having a boy and they are both now excited to know he is okay (all genetic testing came back good) and is a boy. They both wanted a boy so I am so very happy for them both. Luci is in her 40's and the pregreancy wasn't planned so we are thankful everything is okay!

Giving Thanks

It is a new year and with this, and prior to this I started looking for a devotional/journal of sorts to write down a few of my thoughts, note people I want to pray for, be uplifted with a saying and of course, give thanks daily. I have been looking for about a week or 2 for the perfect journal. I found several, which could have severed my purposes but something wasn't right with them all. I wanted to be able to read a positive reading every day and then each night, write a few sentences about my day then write my thanks. Something short and sweet...but it seem this type of journal is NOT out there...(maybe I should publish one...) Anyway my last ray of hope was at the Family Christian bookstore in Carmel. The other Christian bookstores didn't carry what I wanted but I kept hope and went there after work. They did have lots to choose from too but not exactly what I wanted. Of course, I wanted this book to fit into my pocketbook too...not exactly easy to find too! I was so pleased!!! On the last stand I looked at was the pocket sized book I wanted!! The only thing this purple little journal doesn't have is my inspirational quote/uplifting words...but I remembered when standing there, I have so MANY of those books. Couldn't I just read one of those to get my inspiration and use my perfect purple journal for everything else...all for the clearanced price of $2.50. Perfect! When I showed my friend Amanda (Who also has been on the hunt for me...) she was so excited about what I was going to do with it, she bought one for herself too! We both walked out of that store feeling pretty good about our purchase and the amount it cost us both!

I blinked

and it is over! Christmas is here and gone and I missed it, just like my life. With another year coming to a close it makes me depressed. I think about all the things I never did and all the things, which I am to old for and still want to do. Don't a have pitty party for me. I know I am responsible for my own doings. It just makes me sad that I never dreamed or was inspired to do more for myself and in a blink of an eye, it will be over.

Spoke to soon

The ugly witch raised her head today. Why does she have to be such a witch? The practice administrator said she wishes she would just leave! She needs to go! (The gal with the chip on her shoulder!)

Lots of tears today. Not from me, but from the nursing staff. They did a boo boo. Not anything to do with patient care they just didn't follow orders, which was just given to them on Friday. Less than a week ago.

MAN! Things are stressful!

Something changed

Last Friday everyone had individual meetings with the practice administrator and the head clinical coordinator. The person below who had a large chip on her shoulder has apparently decided to play by the rules....she has started "asking" and not "telling"....it is a nice surprise. Don't know how long it will last but will take it for now and deal with the other later.

I had a yummy lunch with friend Judy at MCL today. It was awesome comfort food. Yummy. I love coupons!

Chip on her shoulder

I have one person at work who has a very large chip on her shoulder. I was talking about her tonight with the family and Maggie thought I was talking about her and she started looking for a potato chip on her shoulder. She was eating Cheetos at the time...

How would you deal with this? I want your suggestions....One the girls who reports to me never asks...she tells. For example.."I will be leaving at 3 today." She emails it to me. I normally don't respond. She told practice administrator she wanted us to respond to her. I told practice administrator I don't respond because I am afraid I may say, "Are you asking or telling?" So, my question to you, how would you address someone under you (the same one who has a very large chip on her shoulder...) when she never asks, she always tells...I was brought up to ask. Even if it is "Would it be okay if...?" She has no respect for herself or anyone else. I know she would go ballistic no matter what so maybe I should just say, "Are you asking or telling...?" I just do not know. The fact in the matter is I don't care when she leaves and would not tell her no because she doesn't have any patient contact. As long as she does her job, then go...but to tell someone, your boss, well, I just never do that and really wish she wouldn't either....Your suggestions please?

Microderm on Saturday

I bit the bullet and called on my old spa to give me microderm abrasion for my face. I haven't had this treatment for over a year and a half and my skin was sick looking! So, I called my old spa and scheduled my appointment. I wasn't sure how it would go because the lady can be a crazy person. It turned out okay...not great but okay. The biggest problem is that she used to have an employee who is now one of my employees, and this person left on bad terms with her and this person is one of my best employees!! I got an ear full. It was not fun or relaxing, well microderm abrasion is never fun...but the entire time she yapped in my ear. I know both parties were hurt and I know the employee wants to make it right but I don't know if she will ever be able too. The Korean lady refuses to take any responsibility and she too has things to apologize for. You can't say someone if full of the devil when it simply is not so and think you have nothing to say sorry about. So, I left with a much smoother looking face, an ear full of pity for the situation on both ends and less money in my pocket. I did save for the microderm abrasion but it does hurt even when she gave me a 50% discount. (AND she made me take for free sunblock for the face...it cost retail $28 bucks! There was just no way of saying NO to her!!) If microderm didn't help my face, I certainly would NEVER do it but when I get this done it makes my face not only feel better but look better. I guess I will just bite the bullet each month and eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the rest of my life to be able to afford it. It takes about 3 months in a row to get your face in shape and then about every 3 months to go back for maintenance. The other issue is the Korean lady wants to do my hair. She loves to cut and color. As good as her microderm treatments are, her hair and color skills are not where I feel comfortable for them to be. She was like, "Next time you come in, we do hair." I did a little scream inside.

Did you VOTE?

I asked to leave at 2 today so I could get to the polls before it got packed for the evening rush. I wish I knew why they closed at 6 p.m. This leaves very little time for people who work to get there! Last time, it was like HOURS so this time I decided I would ask to leave in the middle of the day. Hip Hip Hurray it WORKED! It took less than 5 minutes to vote and that included parking the car! So happy I was! I am VERY NERVOUS about the outcome! I know I have done my part and have very little input anyway but I am still nervous about the outcome. I think people every where are nervous. We have had so many weird things happen at work. Kids and parents alike are getting sick, passing out and weirding out on us. Is it a full moon??

Where did the month go to?

I just blinked and found out October has passed me by. It is SO DEPRESSING!

My work stinks right now. The practice administrator is going to call an office meeting soon. There is much negativity in the office and it starts with 3 people. That isn't a lot, however; it can damage an entire office. 2 of the 3 are in my department. I have had it with them too. They are lazy and defiant. They only do what they have to do and nothing else. Last week I found one of the girls in my department surfing the Internet. Since I am team lead, I spoke up and said "I would prefer that the return mail pile be worked on rather than surfing the Internet." You would have thought I killed her. One of the other gals who is an awesome worker told me this week that the 2, who I have problems with doing anything said, "She isn't my boss so how dare she ask me to do anything." This gal said, "Aren't you our boss? If you are not our boss then who are we supposed to go to?" So I asked the administrator again what my role was. I thought she was going to come unglued and she said she would put an end to this talk. Those 2 girls are black and white type of people and I guess she is going to have to use the term BOSS on them for them to understand that I have a HUGE input on their RAISES and REVIEWS. That it is MY JOB to give and pass out work and it is my JOB to write up any employees under me who do not follow the rules set forth. These 2 girls are going to go ballistic when they are finally told this...especially the part where I have input on raises and reviews. I think they just may have to change their panties when they are told what my job duties are. I hope it is sooner rather than later. Their attitudes are destroying the office.

My parents came up for Halloween. Maggie is Batman. Faith is Cleopatra and Krishe is the Ninja.

lunch with mom

My mom came up today and she and I went out to lunch. Maggie and her new friend Faith came along too. At dinner, Nana asked how old Faith was and she said 8 and that her birthday was in December. Somehow the conversation got to the point as to how old Nana was and Faith innocently suggested 96. I almost laughed myself silly.

Not to much going on here. I did get my dessert made for tomorrow's pitch in. I made chocolate covered strawberries. Faith's mom and dad went to Sam's Club yesterday and I asked her if she would check how much and if they had any. They were only $3.50 for a huge package so she picked me up 2 packages. Check that to do off my list.

Paul and Steph are back from their weekend away. I plan on cleaning my bathroom and recuperating from being the person in charge with Maggie. She is a handful at times...but I do love her.
