Job Update!!

I was just offered the Medical Review Coordinator Position!! WOO HOO

Work woes and the loss of a bestfriend

So work has pretty much been sucking. People are ALWAYS calling out sick and I have been working very understaffed. It totally sucks knowing that on certain days there is a 75% chance that my coworker will call out sick. So I have applied for the Medical Review Coordinator position and I should find out within the next week if I get it. I'm not totally keeping my fingers crossed that way I can't be dissapointed if I don't get it. But I am so ready to have a new position in the company for more than one reason. Which brings me to the second part of my post title. So my BFF and I have not been doing well for awhile. But I she finds out that I applied for the Medical Review position and tells me that she applied for it as well. Well after grilling me about why I applied. She proceeds to throw me under the bus at work and has tried to dis-credit me with my co-workers. I confronted her about it and she got totally defensive and denied everything. I am so sick and tired of playing highschool drama. SO I decided to end our friendship. WELL... it has Totally backfired for me with regards to work... NOTE TO SELF: Never have a best friend at work!!!

So anyway she has now said to multiple people at work that I am not smart enough to get the position and then there was a call out for a sick person and she did not call me to come into work, but told my boss that she tried everyone and no one would come in!! I AM SO ANGRY.... Needless to say, she obviously was NEVER my bestfriend and I am better off with out her, but I am still so hurt that I invested so much of myself into her and our friendship only to get shit on.


I am trying to gain a new attitude about work and not get bogged down in the drama and crap.. But most days it is so hard!! Why can't this be easier?

Wow Time Flies

So i haven't updated in almost two months. This seems to be a recurrent theme with me lately. UGH.... So I'm going to try to catch up. Well September 28th was NH's birthday and I decided to throw a Surprise party. The planning went off with out a hitch, HOWEVER the execution was poor. Now when I say poor, there were things that were out of my control completely. So we went to Jillians Billards which is a sports bar. Not everyone I inivited showed, but that is always how it is. NO worries there. We get there, everyone yells Surprise!! YAY!! Then the crap started. The waitress was a complete flake. She took forever to get our drinks. Then we order appetizers....and wait..... and wait......... then order our meals...and wait.... 35 mins later our appetizers show up.... we are out of drinks at this point. We had only ordered WATER for pete's sake....no refill. So 4 of the 6 dinner orders arrive... YAY!! and we are still waiting for the last two.. one more shows up and then then waitress comes up to the table and is like.... SO I can't refill your drinks cause we are all out of glasses and we ran out of bread so they didn't make your sandwich, but it's like totally not my fault!!! AND THEN SHE JUST WALKS AWAY!!! WTF?!!! So my friends says forget it and eats our food. We never got our drinks refilled and she NEVER came back to the table. So we just through some money down and walked out. I personally don't think we shoud have paid anything. UGH... NH and I walked our friends out to there cars only to find that one of our friends car had been broken into and her purse and Ipod were stolen. What a shitty evening!!! We waited with her until her boyfriend and the police showed up.

My birthday was a week later and I went to a coworker's house for dinner after work. Work sucked, but that is for another post. My mom came up a couple days later and we had a mother daughter day and it was a good birthday!

Reading List

So I sitting here thinking about the books I have read this year and I"m kinda sad to realize I have only read about 20 books. Boo, I totally thought it was more. Anyway, I wanted to share with you the books that I am Currently reading and hope to finish before school starts at the end of this month.

This one is just fun and makes me want to be a kid again!






Continuation of her other books, which they turned into a HBO series that I have NOT watched and don't plan too.







This is her second book. So far I have cried through almost every page of this book.





This is funny and makes me use my brain... LOL












So yes, I read multiple books at a time. And Yes I have my reasons for doing such. Sometimes when I get home from work I need to read a children's book before I go to bed so that I don't dream about work or replay adult situations in my head (that whole Alpha Intrusion thing you know!)

PSU STUDENT RIGHT HERE!!

It's Official.... I have been accepted to Portland State University to get my bachelor's in Criminal Justice. There are so many thoughts that are in my head right now, it's almost too overwhelming.
#1. How the heck am I going to pay for school? I know that there is financial aid and scholarships and grants, but isn't there a cap on financial aid and what if I have already met that cap? How will I get this degree that I desperately need? UGH... How do I even go about finding and applying for scholarships? I never had ANY help with this stuff when I first went to college (hence my HUGE amount of student loan debt).
#2. When will I find the time to study and take quizzes and Test and still SLEEP and work my all consuming full time job?
#3. What if I'm not smart enough to pass my classes. I have been to college in 6 years and haven't been to a university in 9 years. I'M FREAKING OUT HERE!!

Luckily, I have NH to help me through this. Keep me calm and teach me the ropes of scholarships and grants!!

I start school on Sept. 38th so wish me luck!!

Health Update

So just a mere 3 weeks after my sinus surgery, I have another ear infection and swollen sinuses and have been placed back on antibiotics and steroids!! UGH

Updates, Updates, Updates.......

So Let's see here, It's been a month.

Work Update:

So I have adjusted to working the day shift, however 4:45am comes way too early. I have been staying at NH's house during the work week since it's only 13 blocks from work. That way I get to sleep in an extra 30 mins. Yes it's totally worth it. I will also be moving to the beginning of the week at the end of September. My new shift will be Sunday, Monday, Tuesday every other Wednesday. It's bitter sweet. I am happy that I will have Friday and Saturday off, but NH works Tuesday through Friday so we will only have one day off together. Boo on that, but I guess that is how it will be when medical school starts.


Surgery Update:

I am still trying to heal from surgery. My nose gets plugged alot and I have dried buggers and scabs that are continually invading my breathing space in my nose. I have my last Dr. Appt. on Sept. 1st and I hope that the outcome is good. I don't want polyps again!! I have been trying to use my Netti pot or my nasal rinse twice a day, but I'm not very good at it. Ugh

Love Update:

NH and I have been together for 10 months now and it's so amazing!! I can't believe how blessed I am. NH has gotten 3 secondaries back from Medical School. The first 3 are Penn State, New York Medical College, and George Washington in D.C. It's super exciting and scary all at the same time. I can't believe that in a year NH will be starting Medical School Wow!!!

Pet Update:

So Sinatra STILL has fleas. I finally took her to the Vet and had her treated and also got her vaccines and 256.00 later, SHE STILL HAS FLEAS!!! I'm at my wits end. I used the flea comb yesterday and got 79 fleas off her. I went to the pet store and bought carpet powder did that and then went and stayed at NH's house for the work week. When we came up here for my days off. I walked in the house and instantly was attacked by fleas. I probably had 20 on my legs. This is so gross. I have never ever ever been around fleas let alone be bitten by them. I almost lost my mind. We went back to the pet store and I bought pesticide and sprayed my entire house. I just don't even know what to do anymore. I am just beside myself. If anyone has any ideas please please please HELP ME!!!

Also, I have to get Sinatra fixed and the Vet that I took her too wants to charge me 374.00 dollars. OMG that is soo much money!!! Ugh, so now I'm hunting for a cheaper vet so that my flea bag won't have babies.

Family Update:

So lot's has happened on the family front.

Katie is pissing me OFF!! She got some scam job, supposedly managing people who are selling perfume. 1st- she's 18 and has had 2 part time jobs. Nothing to do with Management. Melissa told her off and now Katie won't even tell me anything. I also found out that she is thinking about moving in with one of her co-workers. WTF!!!! Is she stupid. She has been working at this job for all of a week and she is going to live with this person. I totally feel like I need to go and beat the crap out of Katie!! UGH

So my mom had a biopsy and texted me on Friday while I was at work that she has Cancer. She told me that it's no big deal. It's basically like Basal Cell Carcinoma but in the Cervical region. I texted my sister and she isn't worried either. SO why am I freaking out. Oh yeah, because my aunt died of Cancer, and my job deals with people who had NO BIG DEAL Cancer and then it came back and THEY DIED. I don't even now how to feel and I can't talk to my mom or sister about it, since they are acting like it's nothing. Ugh..... I asked my mom if she wanted me there for her surgery which is today and she said NO! Really? NO......... Um OKAY


So that's all my updates for now....
