For starters, my mom has returned to Idaho and I miss her very very much. I tried just about everything to talk her into moving here but failed. She needs her own life, I understand that but it's very scary to be so far away knowing she has noone there to help her and I'm utterly helpless if anything was to go wrong. Not that I wouldn't be on the first flight there, mind you.
My house is a disaster. It would seriously be easier to burn it then attempt to clean it, don't even know where to start. I really need a maid!!! We've started cleaning one room at a time starting at the back of the house and working our way forward. Have I mentioned I hate cleaning??
Work is pretty much the same as it's always been. We have our busy days and then our hectic OMG my head is spinning days. Never a dull moment in the ER, that's for sure.
I pretty much <3 just about everyone I work with, minus one extremely egotistical, brown nosing asshole whom we will appropriatly name [The Bosses Pet]. I've pretty much gotten along with The Bosses Pet up until just recently when his attitude was directed towards me for the first time. See, at our job we have to take co-pays from patients but since someone stole the money out of our cash drawers we can't make change. The only cash box on the weekend is over in the admissions office where The Bosses Pet was working. I tried to call over there but he was on the phone and didn't answer. So I had to tell the pt to hold on while I ran over there. Here's how it took place.
I notice he's on the phone so I just walk around to check the cash box so not to bother him.
He hurriedly tells his girlfriend (whom he's ALWAYS on the phone with) he'll call her back and jumps up from the desk.
In a swift motion he SLAMS the cash box shut takes the key and proceeds to tell me I have no right to be in it. (uhh excuse me?!) I, of course, responded that I do too and he said "No you don't, I'm signed into it and we don't have change for that anyway", nodding toward the $100 bill in my hand. I stood there for a moment completely dazed by his attitude and walked away, but not without mentioning I would have known that had he answered the damn phone. ASSHOLE! (Ok, I didn't call him an asshole outloud but I damn sure said it in my head!)
This guy gets ALL the over-time, is training to do the job of our supervisor for when she's on vacation and has been working there a very short time. Was anyone else offered this position/overtime? No.
So The Bosses Pet is exactly that, a bosses pet and gets to sit back at the bosses desk playing on the internet and treating everyone else like crap because he knows he can. He's so petty I just want to kick him!!! Yes, I am a 10 year old. But c'mon! Not fair!
But ya know, I'm a professional and a matture adult and regardless of how I may feel about someone, it does not prevent me from working with them. There's always going to be someone you don't like no matter where you work. C'est la vie!
Aside from that, I love my job and everyone I work with. The nursing staff is really great and all of our Doctors are nice. If my job ended tomorrow I'd be very sad to have to say goodbye to them. I don't think you could find a better group of people (and they're GREAT at what they do!)
Now onto updating other topics..
Gridstream Productions: I am very sad to say I am no longer a deejay with GSP. Not because I don't want to be, mind you, but because after nearly 5 years of giving my time to them and with recent life changes unable to commit to a weekly schedule, I was asked to leave. I asked if I could stay on to do anything, odd jobs, organizing stuff, ANYTHING but was denied. So I can't even jump on and DJ on the times I am able to now, I had to give it up completely. Many many tears were shed but I think I've moved on to the angry phase. I'm pretty pissed that I put so much of my time into that org and after 5 years a "group of people" named Board Members decided that it was better for me with everything going on to just step down. Would it have KILLED them to let me stay in so I could DJ on occasion? No it wouldn't have. As far as I'm aware the "Director" didn't even inform the Board Members that I had asked to stay on to take on any other odd jobs. They tried to make it sound like this is what was best for me, yatta yatta and ya know what? They suck. I feel it was very unfair. So no more deejaying for me. *sad* :( :( I miss it so so so much too, you have no idea. But ya know what? I'm walking away from it knowing that even though it was just an "online thing" I can still say that I accomplished alot. Not only did Tech TV/G4 cover one of my events on their show, I was also featured in PC Gamer magazine as a "Star DJ" for the station. That meant SO much to me and I will always always be proud of that.
Now onto Cody:
Backstory: Cody was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes on Nov 21st. We now have to give 4 insulin shots a day.
Because of this new onset he has missed quite a bit of schools. We still haven't gotten his blood sugars stabilized and he's still all over the place. It's frustrating!
What's worse? The school turned him in for truancy and now I have to go in front of a judge to explain why he's missed so much school and show proof of his condition. I'm not very happy about that. The school knows why he's missed and knows about his diabetes. The school nurse has to give his shots daily. So I have gotten a Dr's note for every visit he's had the entire year, a letter from his endocrinology doctor and I'm taking his meter before the judge to show him these were his blood sugars on the days he's missed and if he can't understand that.. Well.. idk
I go to jail I guess, I hear that's what they do to parents now when their children miss school. I doubt seriously that it'll come to that though. I'll update you on what happens. I haven't gotten the summons yet so I don't even know when exactly this will take place, but I'm ready for it!
More bum news:I am not going to be able to go to the Daughtry concert this month as planned. His tickets sold out within like 2 minutes for a place that hardly ever sells out and even sells tickets at the door!! I SO wanted to go but the only way I'm going now is if I win the tickets and I'm not exactly the luckiest person on earth so I don't see that happening. :(
3/25/07 8pmEST Pitty party, my couch, BYOIC (bring your own ice cream!)
Everything else is going ok. I know most of this update has been filled with angst and negativity and I apologize. I said I'd update you on life, not that life was great! It's a constant struggle, but I'm sure it'll get better.
On a high note, we got our taxxes back, YAY!! Every year I have it planned what our taxxes are going to get spent on and I have no plans this year.. maybe I'll update something in my computer or maybe I'll put it away, idk. I know I am in serious need of a new 'do so I'll post some new pics when I decide what I want done to show the result (unless I come out looking horrible!)
So there's my update!! Sorry it took so long!
Oh Oh!! Check out my new t-shirt!!
