job?
you'll have to excuse the fact that i don't feel like capitalizing things. i'm lazy.
news: i was fired last week. for being late. granted, i was less than five minutes late quite often, which is grounds for termination, but they fired me because i was late by 2 minutes one day and stephen (the asshole son to the senior partner who i mainly worked for) was PERSONALLY INSULTED when i was (get this) 60 seconds late the next day. they gave me about 24 hours notice, not two weeks or anything. i said "no thanks, buh bye" and left within five minutes. i was going to quit anyway, i already had a job interview set up for the same week, but i wanted to find another job first. need money.
the employment classifieds are scant. my mom says that there should be a lot of jobs opening up in the next few weeks, etc. but until then?? the birth center has some work for me to do. it's only maybe 8 dollars an hour, but it's money. insurance credentialing for the midwives. damnit, medicare applications are horrible. i hate em. i applied for six different jobs at the university of maryland medical system. it'd be a commute, but worth it. plus, once i was in the hospital system, it'd be easier to get the hours i need for a part-time job while in nursing school, and, since i want to go to university of maryland school of nursing, i could get tuition reimbursement.
i took the law firm off my resume entirely since i only worked there for 3 months or so and the birth center is still "to present."
on the bright side, i have time to work on the apartment and clean up. just need some more motivation. i am setting up our kitchen with all the dishes and kitchen stuff we got from my parents for christmas. packed up all the old stuff to donate and what-not. of course, it's all in a big pile IN the kitchen... but it's packed up and our new dishes are in the cupboards. pots and pans are next (have to wash them all first). teflon-free (yay). i got a crock pot too (a little 2-3 person one), and a food processor and an egg-beater (because the one here was broken). mixing bowls and spoons, plates, bowls, mugs, glasses, ziploc containers, strainers/collander, knives! we got our kitchen table too (from ikea), but we haven't any chairs yet. (well, we don't have the table here yet or set up, still have to get rid of the old one). my sister picked out the dishes and they were the exact ones i had wanted from target! (and i had never described them to her or anything). angel got me a palm PDA (it has solitaire on it, i'm addicted). it's so i can manage my time during the semester, i'm really bad at managing time. ooooh, and i got the chronicles of narnia by c.s. lewis, which i have always wanted to read (since reading one of the books in 3rd or 4th grade). and the harry potter books. nevermind some cute lingerie and undies. hehe. i got angel that senseo coffee maker and some dress shoes and driving gloves, and i feel like i'm forgetting something. my mom got me socks and tank tops and a blanket - my fetishes (not in any sexual way, thank you). hehe, and she got me carebears cross stitch. speaking of crafts... i am knitting this scarf for my sister for christmas (yes, christmas was over a week ago and i am still knitting it). she wanted a really wide, shawl-like scarf. it is taking so very long to knit a wide shawl like scarf. but it's a pretty blue color. she should have it by spring.
and mom got the carebears DVDs to put in "the trunk" (a bunch of stuff she has been buying for me/my future children). CAREBEARS! she knows i want my kids to grow up watching the things i did (because they were good shows and not violent like the power rangers (note: i hate the power rangers: real kids, not cartoons, can dress up in costumes and beat people up, great message)). she even got the DVD that has the original episodes that i used to watch. that excites me. i want to watch them now. that wasn't really a christmas present, she is always collecting stuff for that trunk (i'm not sure there is really a trunk, but it is stuff to put into a not-yet-existent trunk). she's got stuff for my sister too, but my sister thinks she's crazy and i think it's cute. and hey, some of this stuff isn't going to be out when we have kids in a few years, so might as well get it now! (i know she's on the hunt for the classic pooh crib set i want, but hasn't found it yet. it's called "cozy quilt" i think).
anyway, enough of that. new year's was.... uneventful. angel is sick with his yearly winter cough (bronchitis, probably, but guess who is stubborn and won't go to the doctor even tho he's paying for health insurance). my sister says we're 21 going on 40 (or was it 80?)... sometimes i feel like she's right. it sucks.
my head has been hurting for a few days straight now. not good, at all. could be the whole taking the nuva ring out for a few days (as is necessary) and being without those hormones. or bad sleeping habits from not having anything do to (a.k.a. no job). my neck is killing me. i can't wait until we get MY mattress out here... (angel's has broken springs and is horrid). maybe that will help. gotta make an appointment to see a cardiologist... i have tachycardia (fast heart rate), irregular hearbeat, and palpitations at time. my heart rate (resting) is rarely under 90 bpm, usually around 100 or more. add that to my history of heart murmur... i should see a doc, no? i feel like a hypochondriac. but i'm not.
car... i hate my car. it needs a 30,000 mile service, probably. the brakes are gone, down to the roders (sp?). great, just great and an absolutely wonderful grinding noise, i assure you. i thought they were going bad, but my mom said they had just been replaced... then she realized a few weeks later that she was wrong. the check engine light is on (oxygen sensor got knocked loose when i went over railroad tracks a month or more ago). the (emergency) brake light comes on all the time, but the brake itself isn't on, i don't know if that's a problem tho. the speakers whisper when the volume is all the way on and with the loud road noise of that car, it means you can't hear shit when the car is moving at any speed. it's making more and more odd noises as time passes. i guess that comes with age (and 125,000 miles). three of my CDs are permanently stuck in the CD player... but i have them in mp3 form so that's ok. not that it matters, cause i can't hear shit, remember? i hate my car. but, hey, it runs... there goes a lot of money (that i don't have). my parents are going to pay for what needs to be done and i'll have to pay them back. after all, i can't drive a car around with bad brakes.
they just bought a brand new 2005 toyota corolla... the dealer wouldn't agree to a buy-one-get-one-free deal with me. bitches. we were there for four and a half hours (i was tagging along) because of computer (and salesman) glitches of all sorts. still no free car for me. pretty car they got though. very perty.
in short:
i need a job
christmas was nice
my head and neck hurt
happy new year?
