Well I went ahead and accepted the job offer. I was a little nervous about accepting it because I was still waiting to hear from another doctors office. I did get the starting pay raised up so that's a plus too. I did hear from the other office afterwards but they offered the job to someone else, so I didn't feel as bad about accepting the offer. So far every day I come into work at my current job I get a new reason to be glad to be leaving. It's just getting so crazy here, I don't know how my boss still has a job. I found out yesterday that he hasn't even paid the company for the new computer system that we got back in May. Oh well, not my problem anymore! I'll be starting my new job officially on November 2nd. But I've already worked 2 hours at it this past week to get familiar with the office. I met my coworkers, so far most of them seem nice a couple of them I couldn't read very well. While my boss was showing me around the office, she took me into the room that the Physical therapists use for an office, there were pictures on the wall of the staff having fun in the workout room with foam swords...so that should be interesting. Next week I will be on vacation in New Hampshire, I can't wait for that. Got a nice cabin in the woods reserved with a fireplace. I'm going to sleep in, have some peace and quiet, do a little work. I'm preparing for a play I'm going to direct in the spring, Twelve Angry Jurors. I've got 3 more weeks of rehearsal left of the fall play that I'm in Babes in Toyland. It's a disturbing fun play, I get to be a killer doll which is always a bonus. :D

Well after many job interviews, I finally got a job offer. I'm still debating on if I want to take it or not. It seems like a good place to work, the pay is technically more because instead of 35 hours I'll be working 40 hours a week, it's slightly further away from home too instead of downtown Ithaca it's up on the hill. I probably will take it because I can't handle my office anymore. Of course I will miss my newly painted green walls, but it's a small price to pay.

So I found out earlier this week that the powers that be finally made a decision and they are relocating me to a different office to give the manager of the Respite program an office that doesn't have mold. I'm moving across the hall to an office that is the same size in theory but I end up losing space because it doesn't have a solid wall, so my filing cabinets are going in a completely different room. This room will also bring with it, more traffic which I'm not too happy about, and I'll be closer to my billing coworker....which could be helpful but probably won't be. At least one good thing comes from it, I get to put some colors on the walls, I bought a gallon of paint yesterday. It's a light sagey green...ok it really reminds me of Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream, just not as neon green hehe. I noticed later on though, that it's going to have an interesting color theme....since it has reddish orange carpet and I have a big red flower pot...it's going to have a Christmas feel to it hehe. I'm actually kind of looking forward to that. Speaking of redecorating, we picked out some nice flooring for one of the bedrooms at home, as well as some carpeting for the master bedroom. I'm turning the one bedroom into a video game/exercise room. We are going to paint that at some point in the next couple weeks and get the flooring in, then move onto redoing our bedroom. It's going to be dark! so that I can get some good sleep, the colors are going to be red and black. Of course it might take longer since Chuck's work is just now starting to react to the recession that has basically already passed. His hours are possibly going to be cut slightly, his department did a proposal where everyone will take an unpaid day off every 2 weeks. It's either that or they are going to cut someone. We would be perfectly fine if he got laid off, it would actually be kind of a blessing in a way because then he could work on finding a career that he would enjoy more like Wilderness EMT.

I stayed home from work yesterday. I just could not get any sleep Sunday night, and my allergies are kicking in full scale. I had the same problem last night but managed to fall asleep around 3 in the morning after drugging myself...I guess I'll just do that earlier tonight. No matter what I just couldn't get comfortable, I was either too hot or too cold. I thought maybe I was getting sick since I ended up having to cover a sick co-worker's desk last week, but took my temperature and it was normal...well a little lower than normal but still, no fever. Today I'm drinking a giant thing of orange juice just in case. I'm still kind of blah too. This morning when I walked into work I had a dejavu feeling, all the dreams I had over the weekend that I had forgotten about all came rushing back. I had at least 3 nightmares about work over the weekend. Definitely not a good sign, not even sure why I had them because I'm in the "I don't care about work anymore" mode. I'm just hoping one of these other jobs I've applied for work out.....if the human resource people ever return phone calls. Grrrr.

Blah, I so hate my job. It's been getting worse and worse and worse. I am still waiting to hear from one that I interviewed with....twice...I called and left the Human Resource person a message the other day since I noticed that they put up another job posting. What's with the lack of professionality lately? No employers want to call you back or even send you a letter saying that the job has been filled. I applied for another one at the local hospital since they just posted it, I interviewed for on similar earlier in the year and of course never heard back from them after 2 interviews that were months apart. I found out indirectly that the position had been filled by someone I knew that works there. But I figured, hey it's only a mile from home so I could walk there, the hours are flexible, and the pay is less but since it's more hours it turns out to be more pay, and I'll be able to get trained in other departments of medical billing so I can become certified in coding. Plus it can't be any worse than going to my work now. Had dinner at mom's tonight. It was slightly on the annoying side, I was told there wouldn't be any babies and yet there was. Saw the kittens.....a few weeks ago my mom bought a boat, after she paid for the boat she discovered 2 kittens in it, the guy said that since she bought the boat they were hers. They were about 3 weeks old, a few days later she found 2 more in there. All ended up being healthy, just on the hungry side. They were going on vacation the next week so I was already watching the dogs for them, I ended up watching 4 adorable little kittens that I bonded with. Towards the end of the week I had this feeling that something bad was going to happen, I didn't really want them to go back with Mom and Marie until they were a little older. Because their house is so busy, they already have 8 cats, 2 dogs, Marie's daughters come up all the time and one of them leaves her big dog there while she works, Marie's mom who is suffering from severe dementia, 4 toddlers that visit constantly, etc.etc. Clearly not a good environment for baby kittens. I knew I should have trusted my instinct too, but sometimes it's hard since my feelings are wrong once in awhile. My mom had wanted to find them homes but since Marie is a hoarder she wanted to keep them all, so they took them back when they got back from vacation. 3 days later a stray cat (supposidly) got in the house and attacked the kittens. It killed 1 and maimed the other. She has nerve damage so she has a head tilt. It was so difficult and draining today to see her for the first time since giving her back. The poor thing has fluid on her head that keeps accumulating and she walks in circles a lot. I blamed Marie for it, and I still do.

Whoa long time no see! That's what happens when I end up getting super mega busy. I tend to forget to check websites. Lately I've just been on Facebook doing the random spurts. I shall try to catch everyone up. So I spent 3 months being Stage Manager for the kids production of The Adventures of Dr. Dolittle. It turned out pretty decent despite the bumps along the way. Total attendance for all 3 nights was 444, which is a great number for a summer show. We definitely made money on it. I got a week off before auditioning for the fall play. My brain kind of zoned out for that past week. Last night I auditioned for Babes in Toyland, it is going to be a very interesting play. It's all bright and cheery and demented at the same time. I'm looking forward to it! I'm also going to be handling the PR work for it. It's kind of funny, when I handle the PR for a show the attendance is huge compared to the previous "business manager" when she handles the PR work for the show. She handled it for the teenagers show and they only had maybe 90 people total, I handled it for the kids and the attendance was 444. Yeah that's why I got asked to do it for this show. I have to say I'm enjoying handling the PR, I don't even have to go around talking to people really since the majority of it is electronic. Word of mouth is very popular too. I'm also in the planning stages for my Zombie Walk. I got the first sponsor, the creaters of Left 4 Dead are donating items again this year to help promote Left 4 Dead 2. I'm sure I have more to update on but I'm getting ready to leave for home. =)

Can't post this rant on facebook since the people I'm ranting about are on it and would read it lol. I volunteered to help the person who is planning our High School Reunion. We decided to use facebook since the majority of classmates are on there and it's free...unlike other reunion websites. Well there is a discussion topic up on when and where to have it. I suggested doing it family friendly style at the park by renting a pavillion. It's cheap, fun, and they can bring their spawn if they want since there is a playground. Everytime I have seen a high school reunion advertised on the news, they always want people to pay like $50 to come to it. So I try to think outside the box because seriously...who would pay that much to come to a reunion especially in this economy. I just did a quick numbers and if we did it my way and only got 30 people...the most that they would have to pay is $10. Well someone suggested renting out a Hotel banquet hall in Elmira which is like 20 miles away and at a Hilton which you know is going to be pricey. First off, is it me or does it not make any sense to have a high school reunion not even near where you graduated from? Well the person who is supposed to be organizing the event likes that idea. I guess people are forgetting where they grew up. /end rant

I finished the rough draft of the play! I'm so excited. This is the first thing I've been able to write and complete without getting stuck in like the past 15 years lol. Of course it's just a short play but I can wait to see it done on stage. Yaaaaay! In other fabulous news, I got a call back for a second interview for the medical billing place. They want me to come in on Monday at 10. Wooohooo! Big monies, big monies, no wammies, no wammies!

Hmmmm I just got an informal wedding invitation from the bride. I went to school with her but we were never really friends. We were always friendly to eachother but never hung out together. I think I might go if it doesn't conflict with my schedule. The last random friend date I had proved to be a fun time and we've had another since then. It's not the same person, but they are all from the same clique from school. I wonder if I can convince Chuck to go, I want to introduce him to another school friend of mine who I think he would get along with very well. I was complaining about coworkers on my facebook account and another friend mentioned that it sounded like a good dinner theater idea lol. Now I have this whole play going on in my head that needs to be written down. It would be a dark comedy kind of like Office Space, Clockwatchers, The Office. Just live theater style.

Not sure if I mentioned it before or not, but at the carnival I ended up running into my main junior high crush. Chuck was teasing me endlessly because I was blushing after getting a great hug from him. Now I get to turn the tables on him hehehe, he actually joined facebook to keep up with some of the people he has worked with since they are students and leave to go onto their careers after completeing their residency. Well he ended up finding his crush on facebook, she was the type that they were really good friends but never dated. By the time he sort of had the confidence to ask her out she was already dating one of his friends, then he met me. He was all giddy about it when he was telling me yesterday. So now I get to tease him >=) hehe. Work has been horrendous the past few days. We have been having a lot of internet and computer program issues here. Of course the main bulk of my work I need both of those to be able to do it. So annoying. I'm surprised I was actually able to get on here to type this. I still haven't heard from either of the jobs I interviewed at. The most recent one I suspect will probably be awhile because they still have the job posted online. I really wouldn't mind staying here a little longer as long as they fired a few management people >=) On sunday we went to a BBQ at a friend's house that I met through theater. She's the one directing the kids play I'm stage managing. There were a few other people that I met through theater too. We had a great time, it ended up raining so had to have the party inside. So we ate burgers and hotdogs and played board games. I laughed my ass off at trying to play Pictionary. The one couple that was there are a lot of fun, I'd love to hang out with them more. I think after that party we might. David found out about Chuck's passion for Mystery Science Theater movies so he mentioned that they will have us over one of these days to watch some. They live in Corning which is 25 minutes in a different direction. I think his wife is the closest to my personality than I have met. Just taller and louder than me hehe. She's a big amazonian woman, but they are both a lot of fun. I can't wait to get the house remodeled enough so I can invite people over for those kinds of things. I'm a little embarrassed by the house, not because it's really crappy looking and dirty because it's clean right now and a good house compared to some of my friend's homes, but I'm embarrassed because we really haven't done anything with it in the past 7 years. Our furniture is that of a bachelor pad, random things here and there lol and the most decorating I've done is a couple of framed movie posters and Matt Cail's paintings :D Since Chuck and I are both insanely busy this summer, I'm hiring my friend's boyfriend Chris to come in and do minor work, and painting. So hopefully by this time next year I will at least have enough of the house done to where I will want to have people over.
