Okay here it is...a long awaited blog entry. (Readers have been asking)
Last time I blogged, I'd just returned from a trip to Fresno, my first trip to see my parents since we all moved from Hawaii. I was anxious about the kids starting new schools, I had concerns for both of them. I was also sweatin like a whore in church, lookin for a job.
Alot has transpired since then.
The first day of school was probably more stressful for me than it was for either of the two kids. I was concerned that one or both of them would be roaming the school alone at recess, eating lunch alone, and/or just plain feeling "alone". My heart dropped into my stomach as we dropped off Forrest first and then Gracyn.
After three weeks - I don't have much to report on regarding school for the kids except: Gracyn's teacher left her 4th grade class to teach a 3rd grade class in need of a teacher and she then got a new teacher. (When I say new I mean NEW - this is his first year as a teacher and he's super patient and fun - we're fortunate)
Forrest has only four classes in total - which is a HUGE change for him, because he spends over and hour and a half in each class, with no breaks other than lunch. (His ADHD is really being tested, as far as his being able to concentrate and be still for that long) Seems that he's had a pretty good start though.
After sending out hundreds (literally) of resumes, I finally got a call back from a large dental practice in search of an Office Manager. I went in for a short interview and was asked to come back for a working interview - spending the day observing the duties of the current Office Manager who will be leaving. Boy is this job going to be stressful, if it's offered to me. Employees are late, snobby, lazy, insubordinate, and sometimes rude - even some of the Doctors. I was asked to return for one more working interview tomorrow, at which time I'm sure they'll either offer me the job or choose another candidate. (It's now between me and another candidate - who, by the way, was not asked to come back for a second working interview)
While all of this was going down (the working interview), I received two calls from other organizations about the resume I'd submitted for positions. I have a phone interview tomorrow morning for one and I'm supposed to call the other tomorrow morning to schedule an interview. One is an Executive Assistant position, I'd be assisting the President of a large automobile parts company. The other is for a brand new psychiatry practice, with two locations, opening very soon. Either one could be good. So, I'm hoping to keep my options open and find the one with the best schedule and feel.
I can't say that anything more has changed in regards to how I've been feeling about my current situation. I'm still here, living with someone and I really have grown to be resentful of making the change so suddenly. Live and learn, I guess, huh?
Our family is back together (geographically) and we're all in good health. Guess I should consider myself fortunate.
I'll resume my blogs on Tuesdays probably, it's the time I'm sure to get some private computer time without someone trying to read my blogs over my shoulder while I type. Happy reading!!!
