lack of creativity means no title
Hm. It feels like I should have a lot to update about, but I can't get motivated to do it. I keep thinking "oh, I have time to waste at work, let's update" and then I'm too lazy to do it. Don't know what that's about. dumdedum.
More frustrations at work today, as is always the case. Of course the supervisor wasn't in yesterday, cuz it was a "holiday", yet all of us were still here. There are no holidays in residential, even if you are a supervisor. What the hell ever. Then, today she calls in sick, AGAIN. How she has sick days left, I will never understand. Then, my partner Dee calls in too. And does our supervisor bother to tell us this? NO! I find out from another staff who asked me if we needed her for coverage or not since Dee wasn't coming in?! What the hell? Then, we never know when/if our part time 2nd shift person is coming in, so we called her and told her we were single covered after 4pm.. JESUS! What is wrong with these people?? How are some of them still employed. I'm going to start not giving a rats ass and skipping work because I'm 'sick' and see what happens. Dammit. I'm so frustrated with people in positions of power. The next above doesn't seem to care one bit about all of our complaints either. Bastards. So, don't be surprised if I come down with something suddenly tomorrow. Or maybe I'll just go ahead and tell the sup that I have to leave early, at like 5pm or something. Kiss my ass, you can stay till 11pm. Ok, breathe, breathe, breathe..
On another work note, we get our 'official diabetes training' tomorrow. From who, I'm not sure, I'm guessing from our nurse. Yet another frustration. She's going to be spewing all this info and it's going to piss me off cuz it'll be wrong or generalized. And did they ask me for help?! No. I honestly feel insulted. I mean, I'm right here, I know more than a freakin' nurse can possibly know about living with diabetes. I may not know all the scientific points, but I'm sure she doesn't and we don't need to be trained on all that. Damn. Am I wrong for feeling insulted and frustrated with this situation? Suppsedly, our girl will be placed with us on Friday.. we'll see.
What else? Oh, some happy stuff. =) I ended up having a good 5 days off. The weather was beautiful, and I was able to float around the pool most every day for a few hours. Mom & I went shopping at the mall one day, and Tucker met us there since she was in W-S doing some of her Atkins paperwork. Tucker & I took the doggies out to Horizon park and hiked.. that was a blast, minus the ticks that got the doggies!! Then we grilled turkey burgers, mmmm! I babysat a few evenings, extra spending money is always happy. I guess that's it.. Oh, I saw some friends from App a few times too, went to dinner and caught up. Hurray. Now that it's summer and all my teaching friends will have more time, hopefully I can keep up with them more!! We shall see, it's so hard! It was so nice having a 2 day week last week. =) This past weekend was more of the same- babysitting, pool, resting. On Saturday I went to Dee's and her, another friend that used to work with us, and I drank and cooked more turkey burgers on the grill and gossiped, watched tv and jammed with Dee and her guitar. They convinced me to go out with them that night, and out was to the Oddessy, the gay bar of W-S. Oh was that an adventure. =) Entertaining and interesting all at once. Only difference is that you're getting hit on by the same sex people, otherwise you'd never notice the difference. Didn't really dance, I lost my ooomf and just watched. Hailey K Jacob and family were supposed to be over before I went to work on Memorial day.. but that never happened. Her dad got there by 1:15, but I guess the rest of them didn't show up till well after 3. Dag nabbit!! Freakin' work.. AND Monday was supposed to be a nasty day, so I wasn't too upset about having to work.. but no, it was HOT and sunny, AND I missed seing my favorite kiddos. :-P One day soon, I'll have a normal hours job..
Today I bought some cute shorts on sale at Target.. they actually had some that weren't super short. =O imagine that. And, they were $10. I got 3 pairs.. cyan blue, kelly green, and watermelon-ish pink. I decided I needed some color in my shorts wardrobe. ;-)
Ok, peace out!

Hmmm. Maybe they needed a nurse to do the official thing, after all, you could have survived all these years on dumb luck and just HAPPENING to give yourself the right amount of insulin, what do you know?! :-) LOL. Really though, I could see how they might need a nurse for the official word, but rely on you for day-to-day stuff...though it seems they should have said something about it. I'm not surprised though--it doesn't sound like the management is all that great! Ta ta for now, and SEEEEE you soon! :-)

TCH management great LOL that would be a surprise if they ever did anything. Sorry about the madness Nicole. Now you see why I went to first shift despite the sucky wake up call, and wasn't too bothered by the time I left. Hope things get better for you at TCH soon. I agree with what Lauren says, surely the nurse would have to do it for it to be counted as an offical training by a qualified professional. However, they could have had you as a speaker or consulted you for bits to add to the training. Hmm...apparently I do not remember my password. See if this works.
