october 6th, 2008

+Today is a very important day. It is John's 25th birthday. Unfortunately, it is also Monday, so I didn't have much of a chance to do anything special for him on his actual birthday. This weekend was full of birthday festivities, though. We went bowling with Josh on Friday, had a party at his sister's on Saturday, and a party here on Sunday. Tonight I took him out to dinner and gave him three wishes for anything he wants - but it has to be something I do for him, not something I buy. That makes it more meaningful right? =)

+Today was also the day I started my new job. I think it will be a good job. I like the people that I will be working with, a lot, and the work seems like it will be fairly easy once I catch on.

-I have school tomorrow and feel like I haven't done any school work in forever. I really have to get started on my Death and Dying paper which is due in four weeks. And my immigration paper. Ahhhhh!

+I weighed myself at John's tonight and lost eight pounds since starting my anti-paralyzed-stomach pills. YAY!

+Ohhh! And almost four weeks after the keying of John's mustang, Misty is finally home and looking brand new! Just in time for his birthday =)

one more day

I went to work today, dreading it, but looking forward to it being my second to last day there. I went about most of the day just looking for something to do, because I dont want to start any big projects only to leave them hanging. Around 2:30, my boss comes up to me and says "Your last day is Friday?" and I say "yes."

He goes, "Have you thought about what you're going to do?....[insert awkward pause here]..."you know, as far as when you can pick up more hours?"

I didn't know exactly what to say. My first thought? Doing what??? I just resigned from my position. Apparently, when I gave him my letter of resignation (that he handed back to me without reading), he didn't stop to think that MAYBE, just maybe I'd taken another job. If he'd read the letter, he'd know that, of course.

I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to cause any unnecesssary tension, so I just was like...yeeeeah, I'll get back to you on that one.

Most people at work know I'm starting another job on Monday. How word didn't get around to my boss blows my mind, but I'm sure he will find out sooner or later...because we all know gossip spreads like wildfire at PCRC.

can i come home with you?

I quit my job today.

I start my new job on October 6th.

I'm really sad, and excited, and I don't know what else.

I'm going to miss my residents SO much. I will miss my kisses from C every morning and my Red Sox updates from F. And the hilarious things M says: "Where's your head? Oh no, I think I saw it in the microwave..." and "Hey, need a boyfriend? I got one for ya right here!" (while pointing to another resident) and "Well would ya look at THAT rear end!" I will miss G's "Where should I go...can I come home with you?" questions every day.

I will not miss the gossip that goes on there. Or the disorganized chaotic-ness. I will not miss trying to cram 40 hours worth of work into 24 hours. I will not miss dealing with families who want nothing to do with their parents and expect us to be their new "children."

I will definitely miss my old people.
