I had a job interview today...not to leave my house or my kids but to have a completely different role in their lives. I interviewed to be the medical case manager. (taking kids to appointments, making sure kids have meds and consent to get meds, health group stuff like that) It's not my dream job but it'd be 9-5ish (I'd have a lot of control in ( Read more... )

So I'm still working in the residential home. We're going through some budgeting issues so I'm no longer doing a million hours a week. I'm pretty much sticking to 40 which has been nice. I'm going to need at least a second job...but I'm starting to think I just need a NEW job. Part of me feels like I could never leave, but I know that's not true. I ( Read more... )

So I know it's been forever...work is still sucking the life out of me one day at a time, but I like it. What can I say, I'm a masochist ( Read more... )

I'm so tired....I'm tired of being tired....I need a vacation. Hopefully I'm goign to make it to new jersey around my birthday. I'm ready for some parental spoiling. This being grown up thing sucks. I had five hours or restraint refresher training followed by ten hours of working on the floor today which OF COURSE included at least twenty ( Read more... )

Wow it's December again already. To start with I'm so sorry I haven't been around in forever and a day. I've joined the grown up crowd with the full time job, and my job ends up being more like 50ish hours a week. More if I don't manage to screen calls as I suck at saying no to work. I am loving what I'm doing which is crazy becaue I n ever ( Read more... )

So I have officially given my two weeks notice (Friday the 12th is my last day at the after school) and I have completed my first day of training for the new job. It is going to challenge me a lot, but I am really excited (and nervous, I admit) I will have two days off a week (unless I get overtime which let's face it, I am likely to say yes to ( Read more... )

I know I haven't been around lately. I had a rough summer and a lot of problems with my job and particularly my supervisor. I don't know if she feels threatened by me or just doesn't like me, but she hates me and has made it clear she thinks the agency would be better without me. She writes me up frequently for stuff no one else would get ( Read more... )

So I am officially on THREE whole weeks of vacation. Can I really afford to take so long off of work? No, not really. Can I afford a really long trip across the country? Not really. But I DON'T CARE! The first two weeks are paid for (from one job at least) and maybe I'll work one of the jobs that third week. I refuse to let thoughts like ( Read more... )
