A Bit of Time Off
I have 3 weeks between the summer semester and the fall semester, I thought I'd fill you in on happenings around here.
Union contract passed, saving my job for another year. Whew, glad that's over, that was a stressful time!
Cars are breaking all over the place here! Thank goodness JJ is a former grease monkey and can fix them in the driveway. 3 out of 5 cars have had issues this week.
I finished my summer class with a 98 for my final project, and an A overall, preserving my 15 year old, 4.0 GPA. WOO-HOO! I know GPA won't matter in the real world, but it matters to me...
Dork that I am, I ordered my A&P text book and coloring workbook from Amazon today, and picked 2 day shipping, I can't wait to tear into it... 4.0 WILL remain intact.....

Again...this SUCKS!
Hour long meeting.
Budget deficit.
Job on the line...
I can't handle this AGAIN...
The worrying.
The wondering.
The panic driven, dramatic co-workers sinking the ship before it's decided.
LOTS of "if : thens", nothing in writing...
Deal done by October 1

Class Tonight
Its mostly boring, I got done what I needed to, and got out. Microsoft Applications, I know just enough to be ahead of most of the class and get bored with the verrrrrrry sloooooow pace. Dinner is usually comprised of whatever I get out of the vending machine. I picked a good class for a 6 week summer semester.
I haven't cooked much lately, with 40 hrs of work, school, the home biz, and the gym, I get very little free time. What time I do have I like to spend in my reader, on my Nook, facebook or just staring brainlessly at yet another episode of NCIS. I exhausted my supplies of bulk cooking about 2 weeks ago, and we have been living on junk since, that does not mesh with my self betterment outlook on life. Tonight I assembled a chicken slop for hubby to put in the crock tomorrow, took out chicken breasts to thaw for shredding and plan to pick up 10 lbs of ground beef to cook up this weekend. Add all that to a huge red sauce, BOGO pasta at the grocery store and keeping the salad fixings fresh, I'l have enough meals for a month!

Hi.
I'm here.
I spent some time writing another blog.
I hid from myself.
I found myself anyway.
It hurt.
I found myself anyway.
I like who I am.(most of the time)
I try to like myself all the time.
I'm living consciously.
Ever vigilant about the woman I am,
Compared to the woman I want to be.
I don't look back, regret is meaningless
Everyday is new...

Life Altering
When is this crap gonna stop? Soon I hope. So far, nothing has been monumentally devastating, but I would like to settle into a lifestyle that has a duration of more than a few months at a time. Illness, job changes, illness, getting a new kid, marriage, losing the kid, and now more job changes(for me this time). Last night my Board of Commissioners decided to contract out dispatch to the County.
At 9:30(ish) last night, the motion was on the floor, the votes were being cast and my future was decided by 5 individual business people, elected to a volunteer position. Shortly, the details will be finalized and I will no longer be a 911 communications officer. I have been working 911 in this county for more than 18 years. I kinda feel odd when I think, I will, probably, never be the "calm during the storm" again.
Whereas, I am absolutely, completely and quite radically DONE with shift work, holidays, and mandatory overtime, I still find myself mourning the loss of a job that I can, not only, do in my sleep, but still find intriguing. A job that has evolved and morphed thru the years as technology has interposed itself on us. A job that has taught me infinite patience, an job that allows me the freedom to read, surf the Internet or even knit (if only I knew how), in my down time.
We (the 7 dispatchers left) were assured positions within the organization, and several divisions have reached out to me already. I'm intensely grateful to still be employed and able to continue being the purveyor of health insurance for my family. I look forward to the challenge of a new role in our newly independent district and finding a way to aid in the provision of public safety.
