Way behind
Yes... I am about a week behind right now on LJ entries... Some stuff, I just won't get a chance to comment on. I'm not ignoring you people, but as most of you know, I've been pretty ill, my mom has been in the hospital, and my dad is at Hospice to die. Not a great week. Mommy is home now... and not happy that she now has a pill she has to take. You should have heard the tone of voice when she said "I have to take it twice a day for the rest of my life." Well, I don't know as that's necessarily true. It'd be nice if chemical doctors would give some serious looks at real cure based treatments like cayenne for ulcers, rather than just giving a pill. That makes the pharmaceutical companies really happy of course, to have her on a pill forever... It doesn't make Mommy happy, and may not be necessary. I'll talk to Owa about it, and then get Mommy to let me go to an appointment with her so we can talk about that. I know that Mommy is not narrow minded when it comes to natural medicine. She's an old country girl, so she's rather take a natural cure until the problem is solved rather than a chemical treatment for the rest of her life that does nothing to actually address the issue. Naysayers? I had ulcers. Now I don't. I do know what I'm talking about here.
I have a job interview in the morning for a job I don't think I want. In fact, I'm thinking that I'll call in the morning and apologize for wasting the time they set aside for the interview, and just go to work. It feels like the right thing to do. Right now I have two jobs, one which I like a lot, and one which I hate a lot. The one I hate I now believe has irreversibly damaged my hearing, and I doubt very seriously I can even use workers compensation to get treatment for what is left of it. The one I like, I think has the potential to have me out of the one I hate within a couple more months, and if I need to I can get a part time job somewhere a couple afternoons a week to pick up the slack once my morning boss can get me up to about 20 hours a week there, given as I make about twice as much there as at the job I hate. Working 20 hours a week for Matt is really only about twice what I am now. So we're not talking that far away. Matt likes my work, often expresses his appreciation for my way of doing things, and that's a big deal to me after working for years without ever having any acknowledgment that I was doing anything right or anything. C&E was wonderful for making me feel like I was an outcast, misfit, that must not be doing anything right... including apparently parking my car too close to someone else who "have nice cars" and don't want me parking so close to them. *rolls eyes* I'm better off out of there... and really, this interview in the morning, I'm really afraid of getting into another situation like that, which I just do not want. I'd rather stay in my comfort zone right now. Not to mention that with my Dad on his deathbed... well... he is... and it may not be the best time to start a new job. Both my current employers know the situation, and are prepared for me to have to take at least a couple of days off when the time comes. For all that I hate the job, Otha has been very patient with me when I have had to take time off myself due to what is probably largely a stress induced or at the very least a stress worsened illness. I'm going to talk to her about maybe scheduling me off on Wednesdays at least for 4 or 5 weeks just to give me a little extra break in the middle of the week so that I don't end up exhausted again.
Hmm.. I made a Trilly Skin. I'll post separate for that. I want a bath first. Then I'll post a link and do another desktop snapshot for everyone to see. ^_^
