Randomness

So there is much to talk about. I hate my new job. It is hard because I know I am blessed to have a job, but at the same time the hours that I "thought" I wanted, well I was way off! and The people haven't gotten any better. I have many stories that I have definatley written down (gotta have documentation).

On a GREAT note, me and Will are doing amazing! Crazy how much time has passed already this year. I have been getting flowers like every other week, and absolutley gorgeous ones at that! So far I have I think 6 sets! And of course pictures of all. My most recent I got 2 days ago and they are my favorite. As soon as I can I post pictures. My pictures are on my phone so they aren't great but you will get the gist. Sometime I'll get a new camera since mine broke.

Also, Kristy came into town This past Sunday and left today. It was a great busy but we haven't lost our "sisterly" moments! We shopped, got dinner, and worked out together. Oh and she went through my closet and we traded clothes. No pictures, sorry...

Me and mom joined the co-ed softball team for Papa Jim's church and our first game is tonight. (Don't know how well this is going to work out with my knee though) Wish us luck tonight! Oh and Will is going to throw the ball with me Sunday at our afternoon practice.

I took this semester off from school to decide what I am going to do as a major and not spend any more money on classes I don't need. So I have been weighing my options which as of right now are:

Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology (Graduate Dec 2010)
Bachelor of Administration in Managment/Marketing (Graduate Dec 2011 maybe)
Bachelor of Education EC-4 (Graduate May 2011 maybe)

I am going to just pick one and stick with it until the end!
I have no clue what I prefer or what I want to do... any opinions please help. Class Sign-up's start April 1 for fall and so I need to decide by 2 weeks so I can fix my schedule and then hopefully find another job that will work with my school.

I have learned that I am a night owl! I am NOT a morning person and the time change has made it even worse. So I think I have better idea about what kind of job I am looking for... DEFINATLEY nothing with phones! I think I was tricked into this job. I do the same thing as my last job but 8-5. And I know I will not go to morning classes so I need to figure that into my schedule too. Will thinks I should do teaching, I love kids, and would really enjoy it, but it takes the longest and I dont think he knows that. Aunt Laurie thinks I should do Kinesiology because I'd get out the fastest and then If I decide to teach I can always get the alternate teaching degree. Papa Jim thinks I would be a good teacher, but maybe I should do Kinesiology too (not much help). Kristy and mom think Kinesiology isn't for me. I don't know what I want todo, and have little time to choose. Teaching takes longer because I have so many sciences that they wouldnt count towards Education, I'd be starting over basically, same with Business Degree. I havent had much luck with advisors helping me. Oh and if I do Kinesiology I don't know what I'd do when I graduated...besides get a masters. Which is another 36 hours. *sigh* HELP.

Leave a message if you have any thoughts please!

Thanks

work...ill post more later

Day 1 {Monday}- Okay, so my first day of work was a little overwhelming! Not that it was too much or too hard, just {as always} nothing was organized and I was not exactly put into training. I got to work early, and found my new bosses office. Trying to be all smiley and excited, my boss pretty much ignored me while she was counting the money from each module with the OA (Office Assistant) that collected the co-pays from the day before. After about 45 minutes she acknowledged me sitting in her office and gave me a few papers to fill out {a packet about how to change my login department to clock-in, policies, what’s expected etc.}, then sent me to Stacey {the lead over the Welcome Desk and Call Center}. My boss didn’t explain anything or give me any directions. I go to Stacey’s desk and she has me sit with her and listen to her answer a few phone calls, for an hour or so, then asks if I’m ready to answer a few. Since I answered phones at my other job it was an easy script. I either transferred them to the nurse or front for scheduling {since my boss didn’t schedule me for appointment training until 2 weeks later that was my only option}. After I answered a few calls, Stacey left me the rest of the day to answer calls. That’s all the training I got, a whole hour!

Day 2 {Tuesday} – I come in Tuesday and ……I am alone! Stacey my “trainer” didn’t come in (her daughter had chicken pox), Sandra’s husband was in the hospital Cath Lab so she was with him, Tabitha had an appointment and was out after lunch, and Ashleigh was answering calls for a Dr. Hickman since they were short so she was gone most of the day too. After Tabitha left at lunch I was alone, on my second day! They ended up pulling a MA {medical assistant} to help me answer phones. That was a crazy day, I definitely wanted to quit after that.

Day 3 {Wednesday} – Everyone but Sandra came in and because it was the middle of the week it seemed much better than Tuesday. Less people called and more people were there to answer phones. This day was ok.

Day 4 {Thursday} – Oh Thursday, let me tell you! So I wake up late, grab the fastest shower and leave the house in 15 minutes! I am running out the door to my car in my new black flats and BAM! I fall on my butt so hard. I mean my right leg was up to my head and it was slow motion as I fell, my left leg (that I had surgery on years ago) was coming down backwards. As I am in slow motion falling I am trying to bring my foot forward so I don’t break my leg. Mission accomplished. I came so close to the ground though that the skin on the top of my left foot got scrapped off and was bleeding, but the knee was ok. WHEW. It knocked the breath out me though. That was how the day started. I head to work after catching my breath and luckily since I work at a clinic they bandaged my foot up when I got there. The rest of the day was kind of a blur.

Day 5 {Friday} – {first off stupid me decided to wear the shoes again} I got to work ok, then lunch time arrived and I decide to go to Chickfla, Sandra wanted me to bring her back a tea. I get back to work, park, and am carrying my drink her drink and my purse along with having my big brand new beige pea coat on {and the new very scuffed up slippery shoes that I had forgotten about} I start heading towards work which is 2 blocks away and of course I get halfway there in the middle of the street and BAM, yup I fell again completely dumped my tea everywhere, my purse and everything in it was scattered. Luckily no one was around to see me, and no cars were coming. So I gather all my stuff decide to go back to my car and switch jackets, since I live out of my car! After I switch jackets and re-gather everything I head back into work. Crazy enough I get into the road again and BAM, yup I fall again. I am starting to resent these shoes I just bought. Luckily I saved the tea this time though! I get to work, finish the day, clock-out and head back to the car. I get to the street and I swear…BAM yup again and there were people watching this time. I am so graceful at falling now! Needless to say by this point I was just laughing. I will no longer be wearing those shoes either. After work I went with Ashleigh and Tabitha to watch bride wars. It was such a cute movie. I have now seen it 3 times! Tabitha’s last day was Friday because she is going back to school at A&M. FYI she was at my desk so all week I had been playing musical chairs every 45 minutes having to log off each computer and re-login, such a hassle.

Our "new look"

So this is our "new look". We are supposed to wear this shirt with black or navy pants/skirts. After they order them they are getting them monogrammed with Trinity Clinic on the left side. {around the collar there are little pleats, really cute actually} The only problem is that I went to JC Penney where they are getting them and tried it on.....as I figured, It doesn't fit me.



It is a side zip and is supposed to be fitted, but I can pull it over my head without even unzipping it. I met my 5 other co-workers yesterday, needless to say I am the smallest. 3 of them are size 16 or larger. I have no problem with that, except one of them made a rude comment about how I am too skinny, and trying to find a uniform to fit all of us is just about impossible. We will see how it will work out though. One of the other ladies is like a 4X and mom said they should treat me like they would her. {just the other way around} I just don't know. I expected everyone to be alot nicer than they were. I guess I was just so excited about leaving my job here, that I didn't think about having to start a new one. Please pray that it works out well for me!

{by the way I am at work right now, my last shift! It's 6:36 am and I only got about 1 to maybe 2 hours of sleep! My co-worker is so inconsiderate brought her laptop and is watching stuff on it. Normally when I bring mine I bring the earphones so it doesn't bother anyone. How Rude! Only another like 11 1/2 hours...sigh}

Finally my new boss calls me

Well I woke up yesterday and had a missed call fom my boss. I call her back and she kinda acted like I just didn't show up for work, and said she was under the understanding that I was supposed to start yesterday. {which is weird because her boss emailed me 2 weeks ago and told me my transfer date wasn't until the 10th} NO COMMUNICATION! So I explained that Human Resources and my offer letter says the 10th, and that I am still working at my new job until this saturday the 10th. She still kinda made it sound like I did something wrong but said said it was ok, and that she would see me next monday the 12th.

Then, this morning I woke up with another missed call from her. I call her back and she asked if I was going to be able to make it to training Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I said I am still working my job until Saturday the 10th {which is 40 hours, and I don't think they want to pay me overtime for training}. She said ok and that she would just reschedule it for next week. I haven't heard from anyone in Trinity Clinic besides her yesterday so I was a little taken back when she acted like I was supposed to know that I was supposed to be there yesterday. Then she also said that the leader over the call center was wanting to get everyone together for lunch later this week. I am excited to meet everyone!

I then recieved an email from the lead over Trinity CLinic and she said they were going to discuss uniforms over lunch! YAY! Last I talked to my new boss before Thanksgiving she said they were going to suits from JC Penny. {I am a small girl and the smallest size they have is a 4, which wouldn't fit me. mom made a joke that they can't discriminate people that are too small. lol} I asked my boss if I get the smallest size if I could possible have it tailored so it doesn't hang off of me and she said no. But, right now they wear scrubs that have Tinity Clinic embroidered on them. {my pick as uniforms}. Maybe I'll get a voice in the matter, and everyone will choose not to get the suits! Just maybe! I'll keep you updated with the news after lunch on thursday or friday!

{hoping for the scrubs}!

Happy 3 Year Anniversary!

Yesterday was mine and Will's aaniversary. Because I didn't get off work until 6am I slept most of the day. When I got up and around I went to his apartment and we decided to get lunch. Bryan, Jody, Will and myself went to Posado's and ate the most filling, YUMMY mexican food {and of course they set us by the fire place, so after a yummy meal, and sopapillas (sp?) we were ready to take a nap!}. We got back to the house and all took a little nap, then watched the OSU vs. UT game. Great game... you weren't sure who was going to win until the last minute! GO UT! then we ate again, whataburger, and I was done for the night. We didn't do much but it was perfect for me.

I love you baby, and we have definatley had our ups and downs, but you have always been there for me. Can't wait to see what the future has in store for us.
xoxo-me

O'malley Bear's Horrible Hair

O'malley needed a hair cut bad, and poor me just kept waiting. I finally made an appointment and just so happened to have my camera charged and on me as we were headed to Petsmart Grooming.... Here are a few pictures of before and after. Oh the shaggyness...

Poor Bear trying to hide under my feet. He hates getting a haircut.

Oh the happy puppy afterward! {I don't know what they were thinking leaving the hair on his head like that... I should seriously get some gel and make it a mohawk!

The dogs just love him when he gets back from getting a bath. I don't know what they put on him, but man do the other dogs just attack!

YAY O'malley!................Until next time!
