Venting & Updates

Well I have a few updates and some venting to do so here we go. First things first, the whole job situation. I applied with an insurance company for a receptionist position, did the interview, knocked it out of the park if I do say so myself and then sat around for two weeks waiting for a call back. I got a call back only to find out that they decided not to hire me and hire someone “local” that was already licensed for the state of Montana…Umm I DO live here folks which makes me local  and all I have to do is take the test for MT. I sold insurance for two years and know how to answer a phone, but whatever.

So it looks like I will be staying at the Daycare, but that’s not necissarly a bad thing. I have free daycare now which means that’s $520 a month I don’t have to pay and after you figure that into the equation, plus my regular wage, I wouldn’t have been able to take the receptionist job because I would be making less. Also, I had a heart to heart with my boss at the Daycare and she really wants me to stay and get done with my schooling. I’m already enrolled in one class and it will take me into Spring where I can enroll full time.

Speaking of work,  this leads me to the venting section:

Vent #1:

G, this lady at my work that I thought was my friend decided to notify my boss that I was quitting. I was venting to her one day that I was tired of getting my hours cut and was looking into a differant job. She then took it upon herself to notify my boss that I was leaving. This pisses me off for a few reasons. One, it was none of her damn business to say anything. Two, I thought she was my friend and I thought I could confide in her without her blabbing about it to others. Three, she flips out when people talk about her behind her back, but then she does it to me. SO, I’ve learned through this whole deal that I can’t trust her or anyone really, and that I just need to keep things to myself.

Vent #2:

Things at the daycare are slow and my hours have been getting cut over the past few weeks. L, the girl who is basically left in charge when the boss is out of town and the daughter of the co-director always sends me home when someone needs to go. At first I would leave to avoid confrontation but now it’s just plain pissing me off. She always bosses me around, and granted I know she has seniority, but bitch please! Give it a rest. You don’t need to pull the power-trip bullshit with me. Just tell me what you need and move on. It also annoys me that she is two years younger than me and acts like she knows so much more than I do. I’ve been there and done that. I know how to work with kids. IT’S NOT THAT HARD.

Vent #3:

My laywer in AZ that I was going to work with for my bankruptcy ended up giving me bad advice and now I have to get a lawyer in MT to file. The catch? The lawyer in AZ won’t refund my money. MY $1800 worth of money. The asshat made me write a letter to a differant department where they will determine how much time they have put intomy case and then charge me $250/hr. I’m beyond mad and frankly over the whole deal. I just want to file and be done with the whole thing.

As for any other changes, Z and I will be heading off to WI next month to a family reunion and I’m totally stoked. I have never been there and I’m looking forward to it. It’s a 14 hr drive, but are going at night and M will be bringing her DVD player, so hopefully it won’t be too bad. That’s about it for now. I’ll post more later when I have time.

    Oh, you’ll love it out here in WI! But make sure to bring some shorts AND sweatshirts. Sept can be decidedly unpredictable weather-wise.

    I can’t wait LL. I think it will be a nice change of scenery! Is WI as humid as MT? We had about 89% humidity today.

    SO close to Iowa!
    and yes we have a lady at our daycare like that too, I always go to another room with the first (and youngest) kid in the morning until another child shows up for them to play with, and I always watch the door waiting for the next child so I can make sure we’re back in the room by the time they get there too, well theres this one lady(the cook) who doesn’t mind her own business and is always “checking up” on me through the window to make sure i’m waiting for the next kid. And then when that kid shows up she runs to the room to get me even though we’re already going back to our room, just to try and get me in trouble. But it doesn’t work because i’m always one step ahead of her. :)
