Long time gone
Well goodness, I've become a slack ass!! =) Busy busy busy Nicole. I'm not liking this working till 11 every night. It is not cool. Cuz, me being me, I sleep till 11ish every morning, get up, walk the dogs and go to the Y, and then it's just about time for work again! What's that about? Ah well. I did finally get my whole July schedule. I'm covering for Becca for a "week" and another "week" for someone else on first shift. Ugh. 6am is not my friend. I say "week" because it's only 4 days, but it's still 40 hours. Rah.
What else? Oh, 4th of July we had the kids and their dad from Charlotte up here. My sister is in NY for a few weeks, and his daughter from a previous marriage is here too, so it was a full house. My brother & family from Kernersville were here too. I had to work till 4 on the 3rd, but I got to take part in the cooking out part of the day. They all left around 2 on the actual holiday, but it was nice enough that we got some swim time in before they had to go. YAY! Then, it was nice all 3 days I had off, so I parked my butt by the pool every day. =) Perfection. It's finally been in the 90's with no rain, it's really summer!! And, it's not been super humid, so being outside isn't too bad.
Work: last week I was in the level 2 cottage with the girls. I had a lot of fun with them. Much more so than the level 3's. I just connected more. I guess because they are more mature. BUt, we did lots of fun things: crafts, trips off campus, swimming, bike riding. Which reminds me, I need to dig out my bike and see if it's in working order. They don't have too many here that are in great condidtion, and the ones I ended up riding were sketchy.
This week, I'm back in level 3, with Becca. Sometime last week, she pulled me into the office and told me that at least one of the girls had a beef with me wearing "inappropriate clothing". What she got out of it was that they were jealous that I could wear the same things they did and not look skeezy in it. Because I'm "too cute" and taking their attention, or something. Whatever. I already knew one of them didn't like me, she made some comment when Melissa and I were shadowing about "oh great, 2 more cute white girls to work here". But, whatever, it's not a big deal. They don't have to like me, they just have to listen. But, I still haven't developed any connections with one of the girls. Lately, she has talked to me more, but nothing deep or meaningful. Ah well. I've had some good interactions with 2 of the girls, so I'm somewhat satisfied. There is some shit going down between staff, with inconsistencies.. so we'll see how that turns out. I have the next 5 days off or on-call. So, I hope no one gets sick or anything. Especially not in either of the boys cottages. Yipes!
Surely there has to be something else to talk about. OH! Melissa and I went out Monday night, to Fox & The Hound, and played 2 free games of pool cuz the waiter dude thought we were cute. He however, didn't think we were cute enough to give us free shots! We had a Royal Flush shot, I think it was called, mmmmm. I can't remember what was in it though. Then, WEdnesday night after work, Melissa & some other work people and I went to Burke Street Pub for "Ladies night" which meant $2 Cosmos and Bay Breezes. The cosmos were good, the bay breezes, not so much. We played some more pool there too. There wasn't much of a crowd tho. THe girls we went with typically go on Thursday nights, and said it's a totally different place then. I was too tired to even think about going out another night. And, next week, I work at 6am on Friday, so I won't be able to go then either. sonsofbitches. But, we need to find some funner places to go out.. to dance! I had too much fun in Vegas when we did that.
Ok, time for me to hit the road. LATA!
