up until dawn
Things went from bad to worse. That was the last thing I wanted to type up on here.
So, MCCC finally got the news they wanted to hear from my doctor in the correct format they needed it. However, the next refresher course is in November but before that, I have to reapply for my job.
Remember how they made me "temperarilly resign my position" until i was healthy again? I should have realized that by doing that, it'd mean I wouldn't be guarnteed a position back when I became healthy enough for them. They made it sound like I'd be let back in without any trouble, and now there's a whole lot of fired up hoops to jump through and there is NO guarantee I'll even have a job. it's more based on openings they may or may not have and either way, I'm screwed.
So, through the rest of Spetember and for the rest of this month, I will have to fight for pay from any way i can get it. I'm currently only employed at the Hawks as far as frequent gigs go and it'd seem that there's never enough gigs to book to earn enough money.
And lately, niether them or the Sports Commission people have been punctual in getting me checks. I can't do anything if I don't get paid on time, even if it's just enough for gas and small bits of food.
So, as I have been doing for quite some time already, i have been hitting the job hunt daily -- pretty much all day and all night.
So far, I have had one preliminary phone interview for a kennel assistant job at an animal shelter. I should hear back next week if I've made it to the in-person interview. If I haven't, then i will hear nothing. At least they came right out and told me that straight up but still, waiting around bites.
I have hit up every job search engine and nearly every college's employment page and there's not been much to see.
Me joint pain comes and goes. Lately, it's not been nearly as bad as it was in August/September. It's mostly striking my ankles, feet, upper back, fingers, wrists, knees and back -- that's just about everything but at least it's not been my elbows for once. One small victory, i guess.
I took Thunder out to the Lupus Loop Walk this past Saturday. It was the first time I'd gone as any mascot to this walk. I didn't even know it had existed until recently. When i found info for hte group's walk online, I felt I had to go. It was almost a month ago the doctors thought i might have Lupus and after reading up on it, I've seen how dreadful it is and how it affects people. I'm going to try to make it a point to attend yearly alongside the many other charity events we go to. The folks there really appreciated THunder going and Id like to show them our support.
