Do you ever have one of those days that you really do not want to go to work. Well it has been this whole week. It has been spring break and everyone with kids are taking time off. And what erks me is that last week my boss made the comment "when is your trip? you need to get it in because you may not get it." Excuss me???? A - I need to pay off the trip before I ask for the time off. & B -With as much crap I have been with my lasy ass co-workers and my late hours your going to say "NO" & C - Do you really think if you told me "NO" that I am going to stay here??? Is she kidding herself. She gave sharon off time for spring break when she only put in the time 3 weeks before hand. I am putting in my request over 3 months early. I was looking when I found this job and I can look again. Why does she not lay off the hard workers and get on the slackers, the ones who only do the minamal and the drunk in the office. She wants me to get prices from other companies for medical supplies. Like I have the time to do that. You got me working my ass off and you want to pile on more crap you could be doing. But no it is better to spend 3 days trying to figuire out if out paychecks.. All I know it I can not do this tooo much more...

As a Floridian, we don't have normal seasons like summer, winter and so on. We have Rainy, Fire, Hurricane and Tourist. Well is it Fire Season right now. We have not had to much in the rain depatment lately and we arwe now on fire. There has been fires in brevard county almost everyday. And yesterday was the biggest and it was right across the street from the housing development I live in. Very scary. imagine being at work and our doggies are at home. There is only one enterance in and out of the development and the fire is near the enterence. Very concerning. As you are sitting trying to complete you work and finish out your work day you are hearing on the radio that the fire has grown from 20 acres to 40 acres. It is just so hard to concentrate. I finally came home, I just could take it.. When night fell the smoke settled around the houses and by morning it was very bad. We really need some RAIN!!!!!!!!!!! At around 10pm I started smelling smoke in the house. Soon afterwards I couls hear the faint sound of sirens. There was a flair up and they were out there fighting the fire again. On the 11pm news they announce the fire burned over 100 acres. Yikes.. too close for comfort. After a very sleepless night the sun arose to a smoke blanketed neighborhood. The smell was very bad. This is one of the reasons we moved from Palm Bay to Melbourne is to get away from the fires. All this is because 3 fools thought it would be FUN to start a fire for spring break. Real smart jerks

update

Where is the time going??? Well it is now Mid-march. Last weekend I went to Ocala for Camp Gotta Crop. This is the fifth year. I had a blast. I finished about 24 pages after I sat down and counted. I went away feeling that I had not complete too much. I must say the time just went too fast. On the way up to the camp I passed this beautiful abandoned railroad track. This beautiful track is covered in old vines and it is stretching over a creek. At the time I passed it the sun was setting and it was truly breathe taking. Well I stopped on Sunday around noon on my way home and it was not as beautiful as with sunset but it made for a beautiful picture.

Other things ticking away is that it is less then a month until my hand surgery. It is just over 4 months until I leave for my trip to England.

Tumbleweeds...

I got to experince something really fun.. You got it from the title, Tumbleweeds.. Tumbleweeds it gymnastics for little ones and it is so fun. The kids just enjoy it. They run and play and wear their parents down. I had so much fun. I am so glad they asked me to join them.

Here we go again...

Yep.. Where is this year going? It just feels like yesterday I was falling and busting my butt & back on the steps at dad's house when in fact it has been a month. I can not believe it. And yes I am still in pain from it. I went to a massage therapist on sunday and she worked my muscles until they were bruised. OUCH!!!!. This also means I am just under 6 months until I leave for my trip to london and 3 months to finish paying for it. Time is going toooo fast and I still have a lot to pay still. I have some money to put on it but just have not made it over there. I have been working sooo much that I am extremely tired.

The First 14 days of this year

I guess it is time to update you on the first fourteen days of this year. Well, the first day started out off with a bang.. Yep a bang right on to the steps of my father step right on to my back. Just a short few hours prior to flying home and I hurt my back, hip and ankle. Fourteen days later and my back and ribs still hurts. It hurts to lay flat, lay on my side, to breath, cough and even carry anything. Work is still a pain in the ass. They keep piling on the work and there is just not enough tile to do it in. Task, who has time to work on task because we are trying to keep up with the phone calls and the daily patients. I can not do this much longer. My brain is very tired. One good thing is that I traded in my 2002 Rav4 for a 2006 Rav4. It is carefully parked in the garage at this chilly moment. Is this the way my year is going to be. My trip balance is slowly going down.

On the up side mom's new office is open and slowly gaining ground. She had a rough friday the 13th but things are going to rebound.

Family Time

You always worry about the family you marry into... I truly have nothing to worry about there, I have the family my Father married into... In 1983, My father married a divorced mother of two with a lot of baggage that would later come.. The saying family should not work together... This is the model family. But here is the thing.. Family should not try to operate two of the same types of business' in the same area is more like it. My Step-mothers brothers (are you lost yet..) Ron & Dave decided to produce the same type of local publication. Then Dave was in a life altering vehicle accident (the man is lucky to be alive & now has some problems associated from the accident, yep mental). The money issues come up, accusations arose, one brother now in total distrust (side effect from accident) of the other, Just a total bunch of CRAP. Many years later and they (Dave) can not be in the same room with the other. My step-mother plans this Birthday party for my (Step) Grandmother's 80th Birthday and invites the whole family. Ron with his family & his children families all come and Dave and his children, My Fathers family and so one (sorry big family).. Yep you got it, I climb my broke butt on a plane after maxing out my credit card to get her and be warm... The Brothers decide they can put this in the past and for their moms 80th birthday be ADULTS and come to the party. Well that lasted max 10 minutes. Dave the immature ass he is sends his oldest daughter into the house to retrieve his youngest child because he can not stand to be even close to his brother. The youngest is seating at the table eating lunch (she had only had 2 or 3 bites). They leave... Well just after we ate lunch the next drama starts.. Here is were the he said, she said starts.. Carolyn had planned for us to eat dinner about 6pm so that most of the guest could arrive because of work schedules. Some how in the communication between the siblings either a time was not communicated or it was not absorbed.. Ron and his huge family had set a leaving time of about 6pm because they had a several hour trip to their mountain cabin ahead of them and some of the drivers have trouble seeing to drive in the dark. Well that hurt carolyn's feelings because they are ruining her plans. So people start taking walks (all of the kids and Ron), Rons wife starts saying "it is always about her".. Yada, yada, yada.. Tears are shed and sedatives are taken.. And in the middle of this the poor birthday girl is really feeling bad and it is truly breaking my heart for her to see her family this way. When everything had died down, I noticed her setting on the couch just staring at the Christmas tree and you could just see the pain in her face.

I have decided that the next time they come to Florida to see the "family" that I will only drive to daytona on the condition that we see neither of the brothers because I do not want to deal with the childishness. I did not spend almost $300 to see grandmas heart broken..

Frustrating... very frustrating

Where to start.. Work.. that is extremely frustrating. They keep adding office hours for the physicians which means less time out our desk. Then they complain that we don't get our tasks completed. Then when you put for them to stop adding patients, they just keep adding patients which the dr's think we are the ones adding the patients. When you mention it to someone they just state that "they need somewhere to put patient's" then we get fussed at from the MD's because they are tired and they have a full schedule. Well they will do something when I leave because I can not keep this up. In the last pay check it says I only have 1.6hrs of over time but I know I worked a lot more then that. I mentally can not do it anymore. Our boss has been physically out of the office (working from home) for the last 2 weeks then today she came in today and work just the morning.. Hello you are the boss, spend some more time in the office.

My upcoming trip... Yes I am foolish enough to go to North Carolina. Yep they begged me to come up for Carolyn's mother's 80th birthday. Well now that is $275 that could be going toward my trip plus the $150 that I am putting back on my credit card because that is how I paid for my airline tickets. Because my credit card balance is now $1500 between the tickets and some clothes so I will be warm up there and because I can not fit my fat butt in any of my other clothes. Well when I made my ticket reservations 2 weeks ago I chose my seats. When I opened my mail I got a comfirmation and it asked me to pick my seats. Yes AGAIN. That is because when I chose my seats it was just a request. I want the god blessed seats I CHOOSE. I do not want to be penned between to heafty men like my flight and the old farts on the previous flight. That guy was almost on his death bed. I do not want that I want to have the seats I pick damnit. They only thing is I did get the Delta miles added to my new card.

Why are men such @^%$#^$

Why can men never find it in themselves to be honest and tell woman that they are in a relationship. Mr. Dave who states he is just to busy for a relationship is now married. And I mean Just married in the last week or so. Laying sack of shit. Boy he will hear it if he ever calls here again. Mom & I decide to stop at Cracker Barrel for dinner and guess who is sitting a few tables away with a young lady by his side. I noticed that she is wearing a wedding set and it took me until we were leaving to see that he was also wearing a wedding band. Fucking prick. Why do I keep attraching this types of assholes. I am truly tired of it. He did not mention when he came over here is September that he was getting married. I quess it was just use the doormat one more time before tieing the knot. I can not believe that I let him walk all over me for over 5 years.

Just an update.

We time is ticking away toward Christmas. They say it is only 50 days until Christmas. Carolyn, John, Angie and the kids came down for the week. We went to Mickey's not so scary Halloween party. This was so fun. There was no real lines for the rides. The fireworks for the celabration were breath taking. The fireworks went off all around the park. They had a villians show and I got may picture taken with a couple of the villians, Captian hook & Jafar. The woman villians had huge lines. Other wise I had a very fun time.
