Good news

Closing day is almost here. It may happen sooner than we had originally planned on but we will see. Yay! Im anxious to get settled in my new place. I may have to extend the lock on my loan which is going to cost me some money. Or the seller could agree to sign early and be out on my terms which she turns over the keys by the end of business on the 20th and the place is clean. That way I can also go in early and maybe paint or deep clean the carpets in the bedrooms. Whew so much going on it seems.

At work, the guy taking the RCM spot is coming back apparently, so we heard a few weeks ago. Good Im glad he is. Some coworkers thought I might have been upset by the news but I wasnt. I figured if it was time for me to have it, I would. If it wasnt then I wouldnt get it. I'll wait for another opening. Its not like I had to have that spot. It is what it is. LOL

News: As far as Bin Laden is concerned I am so glad hes dead. But I also worry about the impact it will have in the future. This is by no means the end to terrorism. There are many plans put into motion by his group and by other groups. I worry about people traveling and our troops. Maybe we can finally bring home the troops in Afghanistan. As far as the Palistinians, Im sure they knew he was there. Someone had to have known. The US is scheduled to give them some money to help them out, I say we dont give it to them. We stop any and all money, supplies going into countries that support and or tolerate terrorism. The world can stop looking to the US to be the ones to handle all the crises and look after themselves.

Closer to home, My heart goes out to those affected by the deadly weather we have had in the Midwest and South. May your bodies and souls heal from the damage done.

Long time

*sigh* Its been a long time since I sat down to write in my blog. Lots has been going on since the beginning of the year.

First, I started saving and prepping to buy a house. Most of the process is complete. Just waiting on the loan app to be completely approved. I did find a cute little cottage like house. It has 2 legal bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The house is 85 yrs old and in a fairly quiet neighborhood. And by quiet I mean no main arterial traffic. The closing date is set for May 20Th or there abouts. I looked at like 20 different houses including doing foreclosed homes tours. This house is one I kept thinking about and going back to.

Second, people drive me crazy. At the beginning of March, we went to a computerized system at work. We had been working on going live since the end of last year. Its been almost a month and a half since we went live. Its still a pain in the ass sometimes but other times its pretty ok. I can tell it wasn't designed by a nurse or someone in the profession. Too many things are scattered.

Third, Towards the beginning of the year, I put in for a Resident care management position that would be opening up this year due to someone retiring. Come to find out the spot was given to a guy I trained last August. So not a big deal. Theres lots I need to learn n what not. My boss had promised me in front of a whole slew of people that I would get the next one to open up. Well the guy I trained last yr is on leave atm and we aren't sure if he is going to be coming back. Well the position may fall to me at this point if he doesn't. I hope all is well with him and his family. But the deal is with one of the other gals that said "If she gets it, I'm quitting."

At first I was like hmm, what? Why would she say a thing like that? I'm not really all that difficult to get along with and its not like we will be working together much. Sure, my sense of humor can be seen as abrasive sometimes and I can be a bitch. But what most people don't see is if I am being bitchy, I usually have a pretty good reason and Ive been pushed to that point. Theres only so much I can talk and try to work things out. Sometimes in my job, I have to take a harder road. I try to treat everyone from the kitchen staff, to maintenance, to housekeeping and my own aids with respect. I try to be fair when dealing with issues. So sue me. I can't help it if I am more respected and liked than this other gal.

Why do people see a threat where one isn't? Why can't people treat others with respect?
