Friday, not my Friday!

It's Friday ya'll...well, for some of you.  If you're like me and you work weekends, stay strong - your days off are coming!  Monday's are my Friday's and I kind of find that ironic, seeing as how most people loath Monday's while I'm welcoming Monday with open arms... *shrugs* Oh well.

Anyway, I figured that I would pop on here to give ya'll a quick update seeing as how I have a little bit of time on my hands this morning.

About a week ago, I received a work e-mail stating that I actually didn't get selected for the position at the Day Program which honestly, I'm not entirely that upset over.  For me, it was a 50/50 thing.  If I got it, awesome - if I didn't get it, that was okay too.  When I told my ladies that I care for that I put in for a position over there, they said, "Don't go Leena, we love you..." (they call me Leena because they can't pronounce my real name).  It broke my heart into a million tiny pieces.  I really do love the ladies I care for.  They are really like my second family.

Aside from that, I've put in for a few days off here and there during the next upcoming few months.  I'm trying to take off March 3rd, April 14th and May 20th-23rd.  Jason and I just received our Federal return a few days ago and our state is getting ready to be released for direct deposit any day now, so I'm taking off a Saturday so that him and I can go out for the day and get some things done around the house.  We can't afford to do a whole lot, but we are going to do a fair bit to get started such as purchase all new hardware for all the cabinets in the house, paint for both the kitchen and the living room, maybe an area rug for the living room, a runner carpet for our hallway, some signs to hang on our walls and maybe a kitchen table.  It really all just depends what we can find and what we find feasible with prices when we go out.

We are also having a pamper day that day.  I told him that we are going out to breakfast, lunch and dinner since we will be out all day that day and I told him that we should both get a couple things that we both want with our money.  There is nothing wrong with working hard all year so that you can have a little something that you want.

Extra, Extra!

I have some news!  As I have mentioned in a previous post, I had put in for a transfer at my job to the Adult Day Program and after a couple weeks of waiting, I finally got a call for an interview for tomorrow!  I know that I said I would give my current position more time, but honestly, I'm not going to pass up the opportunity to interview for the position.  I can always decline it and they could always refuse me the position - so my perspective is, what do I have to lose?

I currently work residential between two different houses, although I'm mainly at one house.  I'm responsible for their care and teaching them how to live in their houses and in the community.  I administer medications, cook dinner, wash dishes, give four showers, do laundry, clean the kitchen and the bathrooms and do a bunch of paperwork.  I'm also an advocate to one of the individuals in the residence which means I make sure that she is aware of her rights, help her manage her money and make sure her room stays clean.  On top of all that, I have to give all four ladies my attention almost 24/7.  It doesn't sound like much, but it is.

I have a lot of liability with my job and I'm just not sure that I'm 110% satisfied where I'm working for a few reasons.  The drama has died down quite considerably, but I'm just not sure it's where I want to stay.

Here's to hoping that I get it!  It was funny too because I bought Chinese food yesterday and today opened a few fortune cookies with my lunch and it was just ironic how two of them said, "I will be making a change in job soon" and that "I will be making changes soon" or something to that effect.

If I get this job, more than half of my responsibility is cut in half and I'll have weekends off and all holidays that the state has off (and be paid for them) as well as if there is an inclement of weather, the day program is shut down.  Oh!  And it's first shift! ^^

Another announcement that I want to make is that I will hopefully be starting vlogging soon, so you guys can hear me and see me instead of read my blog!

Anyway, I have to cut this short because my ladies Valentine's Day prom is tonight and I have to get ready to step out the door to help them get ready soon! :)

Have a great Friday, everyone! <3
