Stress and other fun times
I haven't posted in a while because I've been busy stressing. Things I think are all right, I think. But they are starting to talk about lay-offs at work, nothing concrete and everyone I've talked to seems to think the two years I've been there is enough seniority to keep me safe, and I think having one of the most cost effective jobs around might keep me safe, but there's going to be no COLA this year, and I could have really used that 3%.
Owen's surgery is scheduled for the beginning of April, which is good for him. But I'm going to stress and worry no matter what.
And then there's school. I'm pretty sure that the MLIS program isn't specifically designed to make me miserable, but it's working fairly well. Every time I think I've got a handle on something things... shift. I don't have my federal aid because I got an incomplete in a class last term. I got the work that got lost in the ether turned in and the professor said that he'd change my grade after that, and haven't been able to contact him since. And the classes I'm in now: The website design is going pretty well I think, and the other much larger class is, i don't know. I ended up not getting a very good grade on my first paper, and I turned in the second paper, 25% of my grade on Sunday. I checked though the assignment and covered everything that was listed, but then I read something else the professor had suggested and I didn't do it that way and now I'm stressing that I took the wrong approach and will have been off on this one to.
I'm probably worrying myself over a whole lot on nothing, but I hate feeling like I'm wandering in a dark woods.
