Misdirection
I had a bad day yesterday. I forgot to include in my LJ that my friend Amanda called and told me that I am no longer a staff member at Alden. Apparently in order to be "casual" you have to work once a month. This royally pisses me off because before I left I asked my boss if I could still work at Alden. Constance (my boss) was all for me working on holiday breaks and summer. I even talked to Angie the person in charge of all that detail crap and she said I could work as Causal. So why the fuck am I not allowed to work at Alden anymore?! I explain my sitution and they both said it was fine.
Of course Amanda told me this it didn't sink in right away that I no longer have a job. Amanda told me I would have to reapply and do drug testing and all the fun shit. My respsonse: FUCK THAT! Alden isn't even professional. Practically all the Nurses and Nurses Aides ignore patatients, everyone except Angie has been fired in the Administrative, Coordinator, Social worker department. It got so bad over the summer that at one Alden in Naperville a nurse beat a resident to death. Since the death of the resident, Alden put up a Memo saying "if you hear the page Floyd 2004 that means a media person is in hte building. Do not talk to them. If you hear the page Floyd 02 that means a member of the board is here and everything should be running according to Alden Standards". What a bunch of dumb fucks. I'm actually glad I'm not working there anymore.
Speaking of Amanda I still feel bad about not being able to fully hang out with her when I came home for break. When I was at COD I was running around trying to see everyone that I knew and trying to talk to old professors I didn't get a chance to see her. I am glad I got to eat dessert at her house on Thanksgiving. That was fun.
Amanda did the most chill thing the other day. Her exboyfriend called her and asked if she wanted to go get drunk with him. He back in Aurora becasuse of Chirstmas break. Amanda said no because she had to go to class early the next day. When morning came Amanda called her ex. When he answered he didn't know who was calling him. All of a sudden Amanda screamed in the phone and hung up on him. I was laughing so hard when Amanda told me this. That was just to chill.
I miss Amanda. She's the friend that I tell my problems to. I figured since she's going into Psychology and wants to help people she could get pratice with me. It's nice having someone to tell your problems to and get their advice when you have no one else to turn to.
A odd thought came to my mind today when I was sitting in class. I wonder what happened to Brian aka "skater boy" (not lip ring Brian). I knew Brian back in high school and I guess he had a crush on and at the time I had a crush on him. After high school I never saw him again. Then last year I ran into him at COD. I remembered he told me he was going to move to Florida. He sounded doubtful that, that was really going to happen since he mentioned he kept saying that to himself for years. I wonder if he ever made it out there. If he did I wonder how he likes it. I wonder if he's living alone or with friends or his brother.
It kind of sucks how you know people and then you don't. Sometimes I wonder about the people I used to know. What will become of them. If they weren't nice people and treated people bad I wonder if their actions caught up to them. Heh I guess the only way I'll ever be able to know what happened to Brian is if I went to my high school reunion.
High school reunion.....it's funny because earlier this year I got an IM from another old friend in highschool. We were talking about what colleges we were transferring to and what we wanted to do. Then my friend asked me if I was going to NVHS reunion. That just kind of made me feel old. I feel like I just graduated from highschool. It's to early to think about the reunion.
I know I should be doing more research for my symposium project but I just don't want to. I feel like giving Amanda a call since she usually answers her phone and calls me a lot. Yeah I'll do that. :)
