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?
