Sorry all. It's my turn to crash the blog. But I have some whining, moaning and complaining to do. But I DO have some good news. Please bear with me, as I am currently frustrated with work (which I'll get to in a few), trying to find a new job and getting rejected each and every time and last but not least, FEELING LIKE CRAP! Okay, so I'll start with this EVIL job.
So I'm getting sick and tired of the inconsistencies at work. Long story short, there is no communication with staff and we're supposed to be team players. However, there is NO teamwork!!!! Management is JUST as bad as they tell the youth things, but NOT US! So here we are thinking they are trying to manipulate us, when it's the truth. Plus we have NO say in our jobs and are the "babysitters". YC's (Youth Counselors) undo everything we say, so why even bother making a decision? You know, it's just VERY frustrating. Okay, that venting session is over. Sorry. Had to get that off my chest. I know, the blog isn't for this, but I'm about to S-C-R-E-A-M!
So about the job search. Well, I've applied for so many jobs and have been rejected each and every time! I interviewed for a Protection/Safety Worker job in Omaha (Hotline/Intake) but did not get it. I have been unsuccessful in applying for them. BUT the Watson-Glaser test was VERY hard and sucked. It took me CLOSE TO THREE HOURS to complete it! It was supposed to take 1-1 1/2 hours! LOL! Multiple choice testing your critical thinking skills and reasoning DOES NOT WORK for me! LOL! But the writing portion was really good. But I have a mind that can look at every answer and say that from each angle they are all right. That's one reason I'm horrible at tests! I also applied for a DDS Adjudicator position in Lincoln. I thought they were sending me a rejection letter, but they asked me to submit a writing sample with my responses to their questions. They were supposed to have people informed by Friday (the 19th) if they got an interview or not. I didn't get a call :(. So once again, REJECTED! I called Mr. Willman today and left a voicemail to confirm if he got my package or not. *sighs* That was a glimmer of hope--but it's faded. I REALLY want to give up looking for a new job and be tortured at HRC FOR LIFE! ARGH.
So now the GOOD news :). I recently completed my senior seminar (extension until the end of January). I did my project on adult adoptees from Korea and how their life was impacted by adoption. I surveyed over 1,500 members of a Facebook group, but only around 39 responded. I was disappointed, but happy in a way, as I didn't have to weed through TONS of surveys. But it well overall, minus the EVIL statistics I had to do. Thank goodness my old stats teacher was willing to help me. He suggested which stats I do and that helped. He had to help me like 3 DIFFERENT times! LOL! He wouldn't let me pay him either, but I got him an Eileen's cookie in the end to thank him. But I presented my research to my adviser and my former adviser. They were impressed with what I did. A 15 minute presentation was about 45 minutes. I'm sooooo good at being long-winded :P. My report was supposed to be 8-10 pages of my steps and what I did. Well, that narrative was 36 pages in the end (overkill--yes, but I wanted to be PERFECT). lol. Oh and I procrastinated it also--but with the stress of my other class and my teacher pissing me off, I REALLY was thankful for the extension. But my grade was posted like a few days after, and I got an A! So now all the requirements are done for my second bachelors degree. This one is in Human Relations. I will receive it in May, but am DONE! YAY!!!
That is the good news. So hopefully I'll be able to find jobs now (yeah right!). I feel like crap and I don't know who gave it to me either! I woke up feeling fine, but started to develop a stuffy nose today and the hint of a sore throat. The nurse looked in my throat at work and didn't see it turning red and no puss! But mom looked and said it was starting to get red. So now I have a sore throat on my right side pretty bad. I have a feeling it'll be the cold. Karma has come back to bite me. I brag about how I NEVER get sick and BAM! I'm getting sick. Ugh. Good news? I can be sick all this week and weekend and not go to work! I hope *crosses fingers* I work Wed and Fri and then the weekend. Maybe I'll be sick enough to stay home. I can only hope right??? At least it's not strep throat.
Well, that is all for now. I guess my venting session is over and I should go to bed. I'm tired, have a headache and don't feel the best. But at the same time, I need to find some drugs that will help this sore throat. I'll be surfing the net a little bit longer.
BTW, Nancy, do you know of anyone OTHER than Palmer-Wilson that will work with me??? I think you told my mom there is no one else, but just double-checking. Thanks! For those of you who don't know, I have been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. No wonder I see the world differently than you all and never understand where you're coming from! LOL! it sounds scary but it's really not. If you do some research on it, it just talks about how the brain has developed differently than a normal brain. Very interesting but at the same time--SUCH A CURSE FOR ME! Oh well. At least I know what it is finally and will STOP getting misdiagnosed!
Okay, now I'm off. I'll be back later when I have better news (like getting a NEW job) or feeling better or needing to vent about work again. Toodles.
