From the Lioness' Den...

Updating in Random Thoughts

Yeah, so, the meeting was every bit a pain in the ass as I thought it would be. One of them even came right out and said, "Well sometimes we wonder what it is that Stacey does all day." At that point, I stood up and said that if that's what this meeting was going to be about then I didn't really need to be there. I was pissed off, and stayed pissed off the rest of the day, that night, and was still pissed off the next morning when I got up. I was pissed off about that comment, but then even more pissed off about the fact that my boss didn't say anything to defend me. And she took from Wednesday last week til Wednesday this week off so I couldn't talk to her about it until I was done being mad. But I did tell her that I was upset by that comment and the fact that she said nothing. I didn't get even as much as an "I'm sorry that happened."  What I did get was being told that something else that was brought up at that meeting was something the nurses want me to do that I was doing 3 1/2  years ago when we moved into this facility, but then they complained I wasn't doing it right, so the boss told me not to do it, they would take care of it themselves and I wouldn't have to worry about. Til now. 3 1/2 years later!!! I have to do it again. uuuugggggggggghhhhhhh!!!!!!!! If I was asked to rate my job satisfaction right now on a 1-10 scale with 1 being worst, I would definitely say a -10.

Thanksgiving with NewGuy and his family was good. There were 25 people there, and that wasn't even everybody. I'm definitely not used to the big family thing. In our family, with all of us there, there is 7 of us. Wooooo!

Now, we are making Christmas plans...Shelby & I put up our tree & decorated it this week at our house, and this weekend, we will help NG & kids get their tree and decorate it and the house. I'm about 1/2 done with shopping...all I've done so far has been online. I haven't done that much in past years, but I love it!!!

Shelby continues to do well in school, she brought home a mid-term progress report for Math and her average in that class is a 99.72%!!! The rest of her classes are A's so far too.  She's so proud of herself and I am too. I hope she keeps this up through high school.

Speaking of school, I am getting closer and closer to my start date of March 19. I have a financial aid meeting next week. That scares me...but hopefully I can find some good grants & scholarships to help. I would really rather not take out loans to finance the whole thing. I just want to get started. I'm really antsy about it. The sooner I start, the sooner I 'm done. The sooner I'm done, the sooner I can quit this shitty job and get a better one!

The weather here has gotten damn cold!!! Thankfully, it is only cold, and no ice or snow storms like a lot of other places have been getting this past week. I'm sure our turn is coming though.

I think that's it for the update from here. We're just muddlin' through and takin' one day at a time. Hope everybody has a good weekend.

and....

GO HUSKERS!!!!! TAKE THE BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP!
