| It's been a while, I guess. Things have been so busy with my new job. I absolutely love it, but I am averaging 50 hours per week. It's nice on paydays, but not the rest of the week.
I got my new office today. It's nice to have a place that is mine with a door I can close. I had been sitting in the Resource Center, so I was fair game and felt like I was working off my kitchen table. It is going to be great to have a place I can go and hopefully it will be quiet.
Today is the 2 year anniversary of my dad's death. I was glad I had to work today. At least then I wasn't able to sit around and feel sorry for myself. We went over to the arboretum and put flowers on his memorial tree. Since he was cremated and his ashes were scattered, that is the only place we can go that is close to visiting a grave site. It was very emotional, but we all feel it is something we need to do.
I hope all is well in Xanga Land! | | |
| Can I just say 'I love my job'? Well, I did, and I do! I have been working 8-10 hours a day, and it isn't bothering me-yet. I don't mind getting up in front of a class and lecturing. Today, I went to an office to talk about Bryman and the externship requirements. It felt like this was what I was supposed to do. I don't usually do well talking to strangers or to groups, but it's different there. I guess it's because I am so comfortable with medical assisting that it makes it easier to talk about. Whatever, I am not going to analyze, I am just going to enjoy the ride.
When I started last week, the president of the school set a goal for my department. I wasn't able to do a lot to achieve the goal, except do other things to free up my counterparts. Well, the goal was met, and now the 4 of us are getting a $100 giftcard to Eastland Mall, and he is taking us to Hoggy's for lunch at the end of the month.
We are going to a seminar on April 20. It's in Detroit and the school is flying us there and back and getting us a room. Not a bad gig for a new job! | | |
| This past weekend was very sad. My mom came again from Virginia Friday. So, Friday evening we went to the funeral home. Both caskets were closed, thank goodness, but there was still a line from the front door to the room with the caskets. We waited 30 minutes just to get in to see pictures; there were soooooo many people there.
The funeral was Saturday morning. I'm guessing there were about 100 people there. The service was very nice. The hard part was seeing people come in and lay across the caskets and crying so hard. At the cemetary, it seemed that no one wanted to leave once the pastor dismissed everyone. Again more tears and people throwing themselves on the casket.
There has been no news of an arrest or anything yet. I am just praying that something happens soon. I think that may be the only thing that helps the family now. | | |
| This has been a strange week, and it is only Tuesday! My mom came for the weekend and we had a lot of fun. We took the boys to Easton on Saturday and they played for hours in Gameworks. We did a lot of running around, but had a great time.
Then came Monday. She left around 10:00 or so to go back to Virginia. I was watching the news Monday night and heard a terrible story. There was a couple found murdered in their home. The thing with that is, it was my mom's best friend and her husband! I was in shock. I had to tell my mom that a friend she had had for years, was found laying in her own blood on her bedroom floor!
I talked to my mom tonight and she said she had talked to Karen's son, Jeremy, last night for a long time on the phone. He is in a state of shock, to say the least. I cannot imagine what that poor man is going through. He told my mom that he knew something was wrong the minute he pulled into the driveway and saw the frontdoor standing open. He saw his stepfather laying on the floor downstairs and his mom on the floor upstairs in their bedroom.
There hasn't been any arrangements made yet, so I don't know if my mom will be back this weekend or not. I just keep praying for Jeremy and for the police to get a lead and find who did this. I ask you to do the same. | | |
| I am so excited I can hardly contain myself! I had a job interview today at the school I had talked about before. But, I wasn't interviewing for a teaching position. I interviewed for the Externship Coordinator position. This position helps get students in a medical office setting for the last 6 weeks of their schooling. I went at 5:30 pm and left at 7:30 pm with a new job!!! I will be working in an area I have always wanted and I will be making quite a bit more money! Right now, I am scheduled to start on 3-27. But, if I go to work tomorrow and give my notice and I am told I don't need to stay, the school said I could start there sooner. The president of the school even gave me his cell phone number to call him if I run into problems at my current job! I'm gonna have my own office and everything. This is such an answer to prayer. So, now I have to do what I hate doing, and that is resigning. I always feel weird when I have to have the closed door meeting. But, at least I know what I have waiting for me! So, now you can all say you know the Externship Coordinator at Bryman Institute. | | |
