  • A year ago today I had my colon cancer surgery. Happy Butt Day! Heeeeeeee

    I woke up really excited thinking that today was my 1 Year Anniversary for being cancer free but then I remembered that I'd had the Gall Bladder cancer in February, so 4 months till I'm really 1 year cancer free. I have another scan next Friday and see the Oncologist on the 30th.

    We're in our new place. I'm so blessed to have it. Right now we're trying to figure out where to put everything. The place we lost was about twice this size and there's virtually no closet space here. What to do?

    Doug had a job and quit his job. He was working a job that was commission only and hadn't sold anything in about 2 weeks so he quit. I don't blame him. I'm not sure how he hung in there for that long as it is. And while I don't blame him, that leaves the entire rent sitting on my shoulders. I feel like I have the stress of the entire world between my shoulder blades. His son's Football coach, has a Limo rental company and he's hired Doug to drive. Tonight is his first job. He's hired Doug to drive his daughter to her friend's house, pick her up and then drive the two of them to the Community Center and then pick them up. Akis knows our situation and this sounds like a mercy job to me. Tomorrow night Doug is driving Akis' son to his prom...another mercy job. Thank you Akis for caring and thank you Goddess for watching over us!

  • Yay, we picked up the keys to our new place and spent the night there last night. The only things we really had was our air mattresses, shower stuff/toiletries and some clothes.........except ooooooooooops. Doug got up this morning and went to get dressed and we'd left his bags of his clothes at our old place. I felt horrible. I do all the packing and organizing and he does all the lifting and moving so it was my responsibility to make sure he had clothes for today. ARGH On top of that, we'd met for dinner last night and left his truck at the restaurant and drove our van home because his truck's headlights don't work so he had to ride with me to get his truck and go back the opposite dierection to get his clothes and then go back the opposite way again to go to work.  I'm lucky he loves me!

  • I fired the bitch yesterday. She didn't show up to her MANDATORY training and that was it, I'd had enough!! I called and left a message on her voicemail telling her that because of the texting and the no show, I was rescinding her employment. I didn't mention showing up an hour late to training because there's a possibility she was telling the truth although she knows better and should have left herself more time. So when I came in this morning there was a message from her telling me that she had to take her father to the doctor and then she had class and that she had no time to call me. Ok, she's got a cell phone and obviously uses it as she's gotten in trouble for using it at the front desk already, but she couldn't use it to call me and let me know her situation, even after I'd given her a wallet size card with the front desk phone number, my desk phone number AND my cell phone number. Stupid, lazy cow!! THEN she wanted to know if she'd still be paid for her hours yesterday!!!!!!!! Um hello, news flash, you've got to show up to work to get paid!! DUH!!!

    Sigh..............................and she's in the nursing program!!!!

  • Ugh, I'm so disgusted! I hired a new girl who is turning out to be a disaster. She's a friend of one of my best assistants and I usually have good luck with my assistants friends because of the birds flock'n together thing. Nicole is warm, friendly, kind, hard working and very conscience but her friend that I hired is turning out to be none of those things. I caught her texting during orientation and didn't say anything hoping that after we covered that area that she would refrain from doing it in the future. Today I caught her at the front desk doing it. I told her that this was her warning and that would be it. I also reminded her that we just covered that yesterday. I have to keep after her to stay alert during her training. The freshmen are doing better than she is. She was supposed to meet me for more training yesterday at 10 am. She called at 10 after to tell me she couldn't find parking. Not acceptable, she's been on campus long enough to know that parking is a bitch and you need to give yourself plenty of time. She was an hour late. She's 2/3rd out the door as far as I'm concerned! GRRRRRRRRRR
