Crazy Is The Forecast All Week

Because of reasons beyond my control (which I hate things being beyond my control, but maybe this time it's a good thing) S had to tell J about the fact that I am looking and applying for another job, and the reason behind that. So, after he informed her, they both called in and we had a conference call between the three of us about "our options".... (if you could see me right now I'd be making a scowly face...) And it's pretty simple, my option is that I need to be making whole bunches more than what they can pay. They are trying to work out a way to pay me more in order to keep me, but at the same time the possibility of them paying me more to keep me is kind of a slap in the face. All of a sudden they "can" do it, but a month ago when we renegotiated my salary they could "only" pay me ten dollars a month more than a new hire?! You tell me what's wrong with that picture!

The reason he had to inform her of what's up with me is because I needed to tell him this morning that I have an interview tomorrow at 1pm, and I am so excited. While I have been looking at possible job opportunities I have also begun to think more heavily on exactly what I want to do with my career. I know that I would like to stay within the clerical realm (I want to save my art as more of a hobby), and I think that I want to either look into a human resources/personnel type career or something to do with being a child advocate/case worker/something like that. I realize going into that field there can be sad and scary situations that I would be faced with, but I'd like to believe the good would outweigh the bad.... It's a lot to think about, and I have some time to consider it.

It would be nice to get back into school, even if part time, but things need to stabilize first.

I wonder if it is too late to make cookies.... I am hardcore craving chocolate chip cookies and I have some dough in the fridge... But it's almost 8:30.... Maybe I will just have some toast with Nutella (since the whole peanut butter stuff has been going on we haven't really been eating peanut butter...) or something. Hmmm.

OH!!! I forgot to post about our uber awesome, absolutely amazing calendar for 2009! It's twelve fan-freakin-tastic months of Chuck Norris! It is HI-larious.

This is January:
"Chuck Norris had his tonsils removed with a chain saw."

This is February:
"Chuck Norris lost both his legs in a car accident and still managed to walk it off."

I will try to remember to post the new picture at the beginning of each month.

Now, in the words of my father before me, "I am gonna make like a baby and head out."

Peace.
