Finances went from bad to worse. It's going to be tough for the next few weeks. For the first time in a long time my account is in negative numbers! But, I have food in the house, and enough gas in the car to get to work. I get paid tomorrow, and already a big chunk of that is gone. But, I can frugally. I don't need much.
I have yet to hear about the one major promotion at work. I did put in for a temporary Facilitator II spot, knowing full well I would not get it. I felt I was owed at least the courtesy of an interview, and when the hiring Senior Coordinator told me she would not be interviewing me I kinda got mad at her. I told her "Don't think I'll be jumping for joy the next time you need me to bail you out." And I do bail her out at least twice a week. I also reminded her I learned the U-505 after only two days of training, the coal mine after less than one. While I felt I had a right to be slighted, I did not have the right to act like that. I went to Kate and she understood. We're still friends.
But I settled down. My Senior Coordinator agreed that the wording of temporary spot was misleading. But then he told me about the other job I was going for, which is an Education Coordinator. Without my asking he called the hiring manager and gave me a glowing recommendation. It is a better job than the F2 spot. Carlita told me she would get mad at me if I didn't apply for it. All the leaders in my department agreed it would be sad if I left but that this other job is better for me. Right now, I'm just waiting to see what will happen. Not getting excited either way.
We have this new exhibit called "Fast Forward." Upper management wants to see how it is facilitated, and take one big guess who they asked to do it?
You noticed Josie didn't mention me in her last blog. She was a little mad at me. We had a few problems, all of which have been resolved. One of the things that she says hurts her is she feels I do not take proper care of myself. I have to make an effort to be more dilligent with my physical and mental health. Why am I saying this? Because while we have a great relationship, we are still human. We are doing just fine. Don't worry, Lilienne, you are still maid of honor!
I am keeping optimistic. Hell, I've been through worse than this!
