| I have to be honest right now...
Right now I hate my job.
Right now I wish that I never had to go back.
Right now I'm angry.
Tomorrow I'll be better. I always am.
I shouldn't have assumed that I would get an office. Even though there were two open offices and my coworker and I had seniority, I shouldnt have assumed because I don't have room for a thing....that I would get the space I need. Instead it went to the girl that been here a total of three weeks.
Fantastic. That's it. Fantastic. | | |
| I mentioned earlier this week my brother-in law...well...yes he's been having some problems. Apparently Tuesday night he was feeling particularily overwhelmed took an fatal overdose of his medication and went to sleep hoping he'd never wake up. Fortunately, he did wake up. My brother-in-law attempted suicide and spent Thursday night, Friday, Saturday, and most of today at the behaviorial center in sioux falls. Behavioral center is a politically correct word for what Jeff dubbed the "loony bin." His doctors and Rachel are leaning towards bipolar disorder rather than Major depressive disorder with impulsive tendencies. Apparently a recent medicine change brought on a manic then depressive episode. Somewhere since the beginning of the month Jeff started getting confused with his meds taking too many or not taking them at all, and last week he wrote $3,000 worth of bad checks. He doesn't remember ever doing it, a result of overmedication. It's scary that is impulse is to just write checks when he wants to. Well, after the manic episode (when he wrote the checks) he came down hard which led to Tuesday night and a Wednesday of throwing up. Poor Rachel had no idea. She just thought he had the flu.
The important step in all of this is he told Rachel about the overdose. He asked to be taken to the hospital. He's taken some important steps that will hopefully mean he can try to start living again. He's admitted that he needs to stop lying to everyone and that he doesn't ever want to end up again at the behavioral hospital. He wants to work. I hope that he can find a job with some flexibility and he start to feel like he means something again.
Nevertheless, Brian and I made and unexpected trip to SD this weekend. Rachel needed the support. Not that we did anything, but sometimes that just doesn't matter. | | |
| I had my yearly exam today. I find the whole process slightly evasive. But things look out, which is the point I guess.
...so, I have gained a lot of weight in the past 3 years...my doctor and I were concerned because lower portions and increased activity cause me to gain weight. Weird, right? So my doctor prescribed my a weight pill...or I have lovingly dubbed it...my fat pill! I'm not really sure how I feel about said pill, but perhaps it'll help since nothing else has.
Oh, and my brother in law's depression/mental thing is really taking a toll on his marriage to my sister. All he wants to do all day, everyday is sleep. He quit a job, then lost another job, and now is currently unemployed. And when he's angry he likes to write bad checks. It's not a good situation right now in my sister's home. I just feel bad for the girls.
Anyhoos....that's all for now. Tomorrow is my second day full time...i've gotten so lazy doing PT since February... | | |
| Because Stacy requested it....here is Abigail.
I happen to think that she is adorable! :o) | | |
| So I've decided that very few of my contacts on my livejournal still exist...and there are others I would like to get re-in contact with here...so I'm using xanga more often. I think i may like it better anyways.
I wasn't able to find a job teaching this school year. It's really sad, because I was good at it. My cooperating teacher from my first experience was ready to offer me a job, but there were unexpected cut backs at the school. Then I interviewed at Anoka for Middle School social studies and was their second choice. SUCK! Countless other apps around the cities came up negative. so...life gears me in different directions.
Needless to say I've found other ways to pay the bills. I have been (since February) working for a non-profit company that provides information to the people in the credit and collections industry. I do NOT do collections, I just help people who do I guess. Well, I recently got promoted there to not just an Administrative Assistant, but to a department adminstrator. I got a 10% increase in pay and moved from part time to full time. All of which is fantastic. I'm not complaining. I'll be making a decent salary.
I've been married a year. It's been a fun and rewarding experience. :O)
Oh, and I just finished being in a production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. That was fun!!
...and that is my life in a nutshell...oh, and i have a baby, my kitty, abigail is adorable. | | |
