Well I finally did it! I put my notice in at the Crisis Center. Though I love what I do I do NOT love the job and the midnights on friday and saturday are killing me. It was one or the other and realistically I make more at the college because even though the pay is less, the hours are greater. I am happy with my decision and I feel relieved, but now that it's done with they feel the need to point the finger. Making accusations of things that I am not responsible for that could affect my chances of getting a job in the medical/health field all together. When I tried to defend myself they didn't care to listen. I don't know why grown women feel the need to act like children. GROW UP! You are supposed to be the one representing these people and you can't even do that. Sorry, I needed a venting session and this was the best way to do it. Anyways, on a side note...Aug. 15th will be my last day there unless(which I highly doubt will happen) they find someone to fill my position before that. I can do so much better and once I finish school, I will. I don't need the added stress. It's already difficult with Ricky still being unemployed. We keep praying that something will come up and are hoping that the right one will appear soon.

Way to Go!

Well, I started school in the fall with the intentions of going into nursing but soon had a new found interest in the world of pharmacy. I have been taking basic prereqs this year and a few weeks ago applied for the pharmacy program since I was able to meet all of those requirements. After sending an email, I recieved a call from the director of the program who said she had one opening for the fall and they would love to have me. So needless to say, I GOT IN! I will start the pharmacy program in August. On top of my full course load of pharmacy and clinicals and all, I have to take A&P so I can still apply for the nursing program in January too. If I get in that would start the following August after I complete my Pharmacy Tech. The problem with the nursing is it is a lot more competitive then the pharmacy. I figure this way If for some reason I dont make the cut this round I still have my pharmacy training and cert. to fall back on and make a decent living on that. I am super excited and I cannot wait. However, I have about 9 months of constant study.....I do believe come August 24th my life is over for 9 months! End of discussion. On a side note, things have been ok, still stressful since I am taking summer classes and working 2 jobs since Ricky still has had no luck. He is thinking of going to school in the fall as well and we are contemplating which program he should do if any. I would love for him to go back to school, but financially I dont know if we can afford for him not to work full time if he does find a job between now and then. Well, I will keep you posted. Hope everyone is having a good summer vacation so far.
