It's been a time long coming...
Wow..it's been over 3 months since I've written on this thing...wow. Loads have happened since the last post. I was laid off at my job, but miraculously found an other one within a couple of days of hearing that I'd be laid off. I really don't know my my old boss has just gone psycho and has been firing people left and right for no reason, but I think this one was a blessing in disguise. As much as I liked the kids and my coworkers, the pay was less than desirable, and the directors had a way of talking down to you, not to you with respect. The new job is at the JSU Child Development Center (more on that in a bit), and so far, things have been like a big breath of fresh air. I love being there, there's a day and night difference between the staff, kids, and environment, and in a good way. My main class is with the group classified as the 2-2 1/2 year olds. Crazy stuff.
Everything is a go for the massage therapy stuff. I've sent my application to the program a few weeks ago, and now I've got to pay for a background check and I've got to get a record of my immunizations sent to the school. I haven't been advised yet, but as soon as everything is taken care of, I'll ask about it.
The JSU CDC has very recently been sold to a private person to use as a daycare. Due to Gov. Riley reducing funding to schools, the university has had to trim the hedges of things it really doesn't see as profitable, so as soon as August 1st, the center will be under new management. Obviously, the staff isn't too happy (loss of benefits, pay reduction, 401(k), etc), so several I've talked to have decided to move on to bigger and better things. I've personally decided to stay (especially since I've just started). I've got an interview on Monday at around 1:15, but I don't think I have anything to worry about since I've got a good bit of experience and have a strong work ethic.
I've really began to get disgusted with myself. I haven't been working out as much as I've used to, I've let myself go, but I guess this is more appropriate for my other weight loss related blog. I had a bad case of heartburn last night, and that's usually a sign that I should get back to work on me.
Thank God today's a 4 day week. I'm going to Knoxville to see my parents for the 4th. The City of Knoxville has a really cool concert/fireworks display in World's Fair Park that I've gone to the past couple of years. I'm looking forward to it.
