Friday is My Last Day

Not too long ago I learned that a co-worker is sabotaging my job. The reason? They want my position and apparently they've wanted since I started here. It's gone as far as what they are doing (I'll give details after Friday) can cause problems for me in the long run as far as getting another job, so Friday will be my last day here. My choice. Partly because of the co-worker and partly because of another event going on in my life at the moment.

I have yet to tell my boss that the co-worker is part of the reason I am quitting Friday. The only reason I haven't is because my boss is leaving too. The only people that will still be here out of the original bunch are the head housekeepers. Everyone else is new.

I have already been told however that the co-worker may not be here for very much longer. The district boss has gotten word of what's going on and is pretty pissed off. Oddly enough, not too many people like the district boss because she is stern and a leader for the most part. Yes, she can be and yes she has her moments, but I like her attitude and spunk. And apparently she thinks I am great! So does my boss. I'm like, what? lol I am only doing the job. Of course it is a job that I love. Helping people has always been one of my passions. It's a big part of the reason I loved working as a nurse so much.

Heck, I'm here for that very same reason! It definitely isn't for the money, because they don't make much here! Anyway I'll miss this place when I go. The other co-workers (expect for the one) and my boss are all great. Such a shame, but I don't need anymore BS in my life. I have enough health problems as it is at the moment.

Gone Are the Days of No Sleep

Today we went back to our 630am to 5pm shift at work. While I liked being able to get off at 430pm, the getting up at 430am to be at work by 6am was draining my energy level....and it definitely showed in my work performance.

Today I noticed a big improvement in my performance at work and I wasn't tired one bit. Soooo it's great to be able to get back to a somewhat decent work schedule. Plus, we're working 4 days instead of 5, so I'll be able to get some errands taken care of on my days off.

On a nice note: Got a package in the mail today from my boss at www.carefair.com. She sent me a nice gift basket full of gourmet snack goodies, so we'll be enjoying that in the days to come.

Too Much Caffeine?

I noticed after a few hours of having one cup of coffee, that my face is numb. I've had this problem before with coffee and with Excedrin as well. If you're not familiar with Excedrin, it's a headache medicine that contains a great amount of caffeine. I am now wondering if I am sensitive to caffeine. The funny thing is I can drink caffeine tea and I don't have this problem. I think I am going to check into this later.

An update on my boss. Apparently she told the pay department to pay the amount owed and they screwed it up. The bad news is, I won't get the rest of my pay until after Thursday. Sigh.

Ranting and Raving

First off, I would like to thank Bokjae for my first award!

Check it out!

The award is about the only thing I'll probably be able to enjoy today.

This morning started out decently, but after checking my email it turned sour. My boss paid me today. It's generally a great thing, but not when you're shortened on pay. I'm not sure why she shortened me, but I will soon found out. I don't know if she did it accidentally or she can only afford to pay me the amount she did. She only shortened me by $40 and that might not seem like a lot, but it is here. That $40 is what will go for the gas tank to get my kids here. So yes, I am in a sour mood. I am just hoping she has a good explanation of why I was not paid the full amount she owes me or I may be moving on.

Hummm Drummm Morning and Other Usless Info...

Oddly, for the past couple of days, I've been waking up around 7am. Probably because I've been to bed about 11pm, so I'm getting at least 8 hours of sleep. I know my body tells me if I get more than 8 and when that happens, I feel like crap for the rest of the day.

Soo here I am, blogging as usual. Can't do anything else, really. I haven't heard from my boss in several days now and it's really starting to worry me. This isn't the first time she's done something like this, but without her approval, I can' continue working on the list of articles that she needs me to work on. And no work means no pay. No pay means no bills paid. Never a good thing. Sigh. What it may boil down to is, looking for work away from home. The only problem with that will be, what to do with the kids. Daycare is outrageous here!

Now on top of that I have to plan a wedding pronto. Sooo much to do, soo little time!

The other thing I'm a little worried about... My period hasn't been normal. I started out with seriously bad cramp (very much like slight labor pain) and after taking some midol for it, they stopped. Then came some pinkish discharge. Now that has stopped and there is nothing. I've never had to take any form of medicine for PMS and I've never had just pink discharge and nothing at all. Maybe I am going through menopause, who knows? I'll just keep an eye on things and see how it goes since a visit to the doctor is out (can't afford insurance and don't qualify for anything else.)

Other than that, I think my fiance is a little worried about the house payment. Why do I say that, you may ask??? Well, he made it known to me, the bank teller and several other people standing in line. Soo yeah! But can't say much, because I am worried as well. When we first bought this house, we weren't expecting the payment to be as high as it is and really it's not. It's the taxes for this area that are the problem. Small towns are nice, but they take every penny they can get? And where does it go? Who knows???
