Well...

So, I kind of promised that I'd think about doing more blogging since I'm not currently Facebooking, but I'm finding that we lead kind of boring lives!!  We're in the process of refinancing and so we had to have an appraisal done today.  We made sure that the house was in tip-top shape since, although the loan isn't based on my housekeeping skills, it can't help but make a home more attractive if it's kept up!  Also, I made some bread because who doesn't like the smell of freshly baked bread?!  Wouldn't you know it?  Our appraisal had a cold!  Probably couldn't even smell the aroma!  Oh, well!  Win some, lose some!  Of course, if I'd known she was sick, maybe I wouldn't have gone to the effort after my morning!  We have a new labor management system at work and so far, it is a nightmare.  I'm in charge of distributing tips each week and this week, well, nightmare doesn't even begin to cover what it was!  What normally can take me as little as 45 minutes took me 2 whole hours, and would have taken even more if I hadn't just finally said, "Forget it!!  That's enough!"  and if my co-worker hadn't told me to just pay out the one girl out of next week's tips!  Good grief!  Who designed this program?!

So, then, what else?  I went and bought a scrubs top at school the other day.  Had a bit of a frustrating experience with all of that.  Maybe you remember me being so excited and telling everyone that I'd made the phone call that made me a nursing student?  That would have been approximately on October 7.  I didn't feel really good about that call -- like maybe the person who took the call didn't actually pay one lickin' bit of attention to what I said.  So, I decided to go into the school on the day of the deadline, buy the scrubs, get the photo ID and stop in and verify that my name was on the "accepted" list.  I went to the counter and the woman rudely told me I would need to tell her my name if she was to look.  She never wrote my name down, never looked it up on any lists, nothing.  I also gave her my immunization records and she told me that it probably wouldn't work.  Long story and I promise I will make my case for letting me into the program no matter what.  Anyway, that was October 30 at about 10 in the morning and deadline was noon.  Friday rolls around and I have a phone call from the nursing office.  I'm thinking, well, shoot, I have to defend my hepatitis B shot already!  Nope!  Nothing that easy!  The lady's calling because "[they] haven't heard from me yet and I'm the last one to respond to whether or not I'm accepting the position they offered me!!"  ARE. YOU. KIDDING. ME.?!?!  I called AND I walked in and they still didn't get my name on the "accepted the offer" list!!  I'll be going in person again, to make sure nothing else gets missed!  The lady seemed slightly sorry, but not really sorry enough for my taste!  But she did say that, even though it was now past deadline, they would accept my acceptance and I'll start in January.  We still have to see about the immunization that I won't have a titer for before clinicals, but...

So, I guess that's kind of non-boring details of our life right now.  But now I need to go to bed because 4:10AM comes VERY early!
