Mindless Chatter - Tues

Wow...good luck with the delivering of the bad news. I hope it goes smoother than expected. That was really nice about the gift card though!!

 I'm so  over my job lately. There are a select few of us that seem to do everything around my office, while the rest of the schmucks sit around and do nothing all day. There's one guy who actually sleeps at his desk, and he gets paid more than I do!!! He doesn't even have a title!!! UGH! I guess it would be like that anywhere I went. It's just really been bugging me lately.

I didn't end up getting that job that I interveiwed for last week. They were going to send me an offer, but at the last minute, they decided to go with another candidate, only for the reason that she had prior experience with an advertising agency. Makes sense, but I am so jealous. I wanted that job!! Oh well -  it wasn't meant to be for whatever reason.

Hey, I will join in on the bad days.  Today has been super busy for me, yet the other assistant doesn't seem to do much work, at all.  Last week she was asked to go to the court to confirm that our documents had been filed for the motion today.  She went and came back and said yes.  The lawyer phoned me this morning saying the court has NOTHING.  The other assistant acted surprised at that and is on her way to the court now with the documents...not good...very not good.  She is new here, only been here a year, and HAS to learn the importance of these things!

I might be leaving work early today, we are supposed to get pretty bad weather and I don't live near my work so that might be a plus.

I want to see this I am Legend movie, but from the looks of the trailer, it looks like the dog dies and that the "infected" thigns are werewolves.  Which, if so, I will walk out of the theatre.  I am TERRIFIED of werewolves.

I want this day to end already.  I am so hungry!!

Ann, just FYI - we have not gotten any of the freezing rain that everyone else has. For whatever reason it keeps missing Lansing. It is raining now but not freezing rain and it is supposed to warm up to 35 today. So travel may not be that bad. 

Well, it's official: Since we're all having such crappy days, we all need to just go home!!!

I'll vote for that! 

I will second Jewlieee!  It has started snowing here.  BLEH.

And the photocopier technician came in, and was rude to me.  He stomps into my office and says "Okay if you want to come here, young lady, then I'll show you what I've done to the machine"  I am in a bad mood, so i have him a dirty look and told him not to call me young lady, he knows my name.  The student here it annoying me.  The door bell was ringing and ringing and ringing and ringing, does she go to get it?  NOPE.  The phone is ringing non stop, does she answer it? NOPE.  I was over talking to the massage therapist. 

UGH stress!!!  I think because I am going to the mall for lunch today with the law clerk here, that I will either get me a big burger or chinese food for lunch.  Something very unhealthy and fatty.  I am feeling so frustrated today!

I hope everyone else has a better day than me lol. 

wow, what a nice day here! It was 72 at noon. I walked the dogs in shorts and a t shirt.

some good news, some bad. it's been a crazy week. Good news: did well on chemistry final got an A in the class. Bad news: Got a 76 on my medical surgical nursing final (and that is failing!) and ended up barely passing the class with a C, even though i've had an avg of 85 all semester! (77 is passing) My OB nursing test is friday...my avg in OB is an 82 and the final is worth 30% of our grade. ANY good vibes would be much appreciated :) 

I am redoing my Senior Performance Assessment today. I felt ok about the whole thing, until  I started getting ready to leave. I know what I'm going to say, but I've been freaking out for about 2 hours now, and I go at 5. So, I have another hour of panicking to do. Also, the weather here looks like it's going to be crappy tonight, and because they asked me to come at 5 rather than 6, that means I really get to come home in rush hour traffic. That sucks too. I really, really, really do not want to do this, but I have no choice. I also have no idea who is on my panel this time, but I have an inkling about one of the people. That person I feel good about having on my panel. Hopefully, if it is her, she will remember me as the student who brought the lizard in to the class. However, because she is on the panel, I am lead to believe the someone else might be on the panel as well, and if that is correct, I really do not feel very good about him being on my panel. I had no relationship with him until this semester, when I had to go over my student teaching supervisor's head.Then, I also went above him to the dean on Friday. That really, really, really would not be good to have him on my panel. I may go walk by the room and see if I can get a glimpse of who is in there doing the interviews.  

Yay another day and I am still employed. Can't wait for Friday though...I'm sick of this week already.

Well, I failed again. As of right now, if I passed student teaching, I can graduate without state certification. However, my plan is to go and fight this tomorrow. The people who went before me were interviewed by a panel that included only two people. For my interview only, they brought in a third person. The third person and I have a prior relationship only because of a tense situation that occurred this semester, so it is not good. Therefore, I think it was very evident that I was not given the same opportunity as the other people. I think he was brought in solely for the purposes of intimidating me, and as a method of blocking me from being certified because had my supervisor failed me on the state eval, I had recourse and could have appealed it. This, I technically have no recourse. I'm making my own recourse though. I put in a call to the dean already, and I plan to go ask one of the people on the panel what the reason was that he was on my panel and not any of the others.  I don't really need PA certification because I'm moving to MA, but I do need to graduate and pass student teaching so I can be certified there.

Also, I saw one of the people on my panel for the grad program interview. She said they want some of us, which includes me, to come back for a second interview. I couldn't stand there and tell her that I had already been accepted, and am now registered at another school. I don't know why, but I just couldn't do it. So, she's going to email me. I thought I wasn't going to be accepted since they told me the decision would be up by now. I don't know why I wouldn't be accepted to this program when I am already in one that is better, but I thought perhaps the day when I was talking to one of the professors who wrote my recommendations that the interviewer who walked by heard me telling her I was going somewhere else. Considering that I'm sure they see each other plenty, I thought maybe he could have asked her and found out for sure that I was going somewhere else. I did try to keep that quiet when I was talking to her, but you never know. Basically, I thought they knew I wasn't taking it if I was accepted, so they had no reason to bother posting it in a timely fashion. So, I was sort of caught off guard when she started talking to me to see if I would be available to come for another interview. I also didn't want to tell her in person while I was standing in the building that I have been treated like absolute crap all semester long, and for this reason, I have no intention of coming back. People from the college I am going to have treated me well, which is part of why I decided on it without having a decision back from any other college. Also, it is statistically one of the best programs, but I did not know that until after the decision had pretty much been made.
