An update on my trials and tribulations

[Pam]

Well, I have had an interesting week. On Monday, "the new person" started and lasted until Friday, 8:30 and then quit.

Boy does this sound familiar. My office seems to have a swinging door. If the boss isn't firing people, they leave of their own accord. Our latest girl, who was quite good, quit two weeks ago. Her attitude seemed to change after she got her 90 day review. Honestly, it does make you wonder how firms/medical practices survive the kind of nonsense that goes on. Good for the girl. She got out while the gettin' was good.

she smokes(the person, not the dog).....

haha! Glad to hear that the dog has not taken up the habit. Maybe in time you might be able to share some pictures of your new canine co-tenant. Trevor and Andy send their condolences to Lucy. I am sure they would rather I brought two more cats into the fold than two dogs.

I think I have the job,

Hooray! Fingers and toes are all crossed. I hope that if this is where you are meant to be that all of the pieces will come together!

And my Mom is thriving.

You can't ask for more! I know this gives you enormous peace.

Thank you for the updates. I/we look forward to more in the future and wish you only the best!!!

Sallyanne, I don't comment every time you update, but I sure have been interested in how things are going for you. I'm so glad that at least the concerns about your mother are out of the way now. Isn't it great that she is thriving, already, in her new home?

I do wish you all the best. I hope that everything is going to work out for you soon so that you can put the paycheck worry out of your mind next.

I know a ton of people who would gladly be good references for you!

Best of luck.
Logan

More and more pieces falling into place for you. The right job will be there for you too...one that pays sufficiently and has all the benefits you need along with a amicable working environment.

As long as you are considering ways to bring in extra income, how about writing a novel...say set in a small law office environment? I just watched the Nanny Diaries on DVD which was loosely based on the experiences of the author(s) as a nanny if I remember correctly. I'm thinking that you've got a much better tale to tell. The bits and pieces we've been exposed to here are riviting to say the least.

Rachel has a good idea there! I picture a novel that would ultimately wind up on TV as a series - sort of like The Office. You could even play yourself! Now there is a lucrative career!

I worked today, until 2:30. I have "trained" the new person, and I hope to have this job behind me. If I never hear from any of them, it will be too soon. I am exhausted.

I have not landed a new job as I really haven't spent any time looking. The vet implant place hired the part time person, full time. It just wasn't meant to be.

I will take a little time for myself and then re-evaluate the situation. I feel a vacation coming on, soon. I have to be very careful with my money, so a mini vacation, should be just fine. Maybe Montreal.

I hope to wake up tomorrow, with a renewed sense of self. I am going to consider myself on a long, long weekend. I have promised myself to never stay in any job, ever again, when it starts to go south.

Lots of "I"s in this post, eh?

Thank you for listening.

Tomorrow is a new day. Life is or can be short, so I plan to improve "on it" !

[Pam]

Sallyanne I was just thinking this morning of posting to this thread and asking how you were doing. Glad the crazy place is behind you. A mini vacation sounds terrific. Who will watch the campers while you are gone? I hope things are continuing to go well for your mom. Thanks for checking in.

Sallyanne I missed some of your updates- I am very sorry.
I keep my fingers crossed. Too bad your vacation can't get you over here!

[Randi]

This is great news, Sallyane! You can finally relax and think about what to do next, you'll have time to yourself now, and time to look for jobs without panicking - enjoy your weekend!

I'm also glad to hear you mom likes her new place.

A mini vacation sounds like a very good idea. It'll do you good to get away from it all!

All the best of luck!
