[room to breathe]
Whew. School is finally done for the year! I am on break from classes until August 23rd. I start a clinical rotation in late July, one day per week. I passed all my finals (even getting a 95% on one), I’m officially a second-year student, and will graduate in one year! Then I can take the national licensing exam and be an LVT. So exciting!
It’s been so nice to just come home after work and do the things I need to do (or do nothing, whatever I decide). I cooked a real meal on Monday, we grilled Sunday and yesterday. Tonight is up in the air… I am home sick from work and feeling pretty terrible. Cough, body aches, scratchy voice. We will see if I am up for cooking, or if we will just order in.
Things at home are good. We are eagerly anticipating warm weather so we can go boating and camping. We got the final city permit approval for our new front porch, so construction on that will begin soon. I’m so excited – it is going to drastically change the look of our house, and it is going to be amazing! I am also planning on some minor redecorating in our master bedroom (paint, curtains, etc.). And we just did a minor redo in our bathroom (new shower curtain, towels and countertop accessories).
Things at work are crazy, my boss has been severely lacking in her responsibilities and has been thrown under the bus over it. She is retaliating by acting childish and trying to push the blame onto the supervisory personnel (mainly myself and two other girls, and one vet), which isn’t going to fly at all. The front desk supervisor (who is my best work friend) has accepted another job and put her notice in yesterday. She is leaving in 30 days, and I fear that things will only get worse from there. I may be searching for a new job soon as well, although I am hesitant to leave. For the most part, I love the organization. I have the most seniority of all the techs and receptionists, I have amazing health benefits, and plenty of flexibility for school. Overall, it’s an ideal situation for right now. But things are getting bad, and likely about to get even worse. For now I am just riding it out, waiting to see what happens.
