ready to get off the roller coaster

So I thought, mistakenly it now appears, that I was off the roller coaster of change at work.  There are a lot of changes going on at work these days, with the changes to the industry going on right now. As a result, there are fairly constant internal transfers into borrower services these days as other departments bite the dust (the company’s growing, but there are several departments that are mostly biting the dust – for now at least).  Apparently there’s a new group getting ready to transfer over in the next week or so, with a few of them coming over and working under my current boss.  As a result of space constrictions mostly, the powers that be had to choose two people from my current team to move to a different team in the other building.  As I appear to be doing very very well, I was one of those chosen.  *Sigh* I’m really not thrilled in the least. I HATE change that comes out of nowhere and this one came out of left field on me.  So sometime next week I’ll be moving to the other building to a much smaller cube and generally not as nice an area as the one I’m in now.  On a lot of levels and for several reasons, I’m mentally counting down to when I’ll be done here.   At this point, I want to know that I got into law school somewhere, it for no other reason than to know for sure that there’s an end in sight to my time in Borrower Services.  Of course, LSAC needs to process the letter of recommendation before I can get anything resembling a decision from NIU.   I’ll talk to my old boss on Monday to see when she sent the recommendation a second time so I can figure out when I need to get on LSAC’s case again and ask what exactly I have to do to get it processed as nothing else seems to be working. 

At least this week is over.  It’s been a rough week, all in all.  I can only hope that next week goes better and that I stop coughing.  At least I have the three hours off in two weeks to look forward to – even if it does mean working late on Monday and Tuesday of that week.  At least I have reading material at the moment, as I suspect that time will be spent on dialer.  My books from deseretbook came by FedEx yesterday 🙂 I also got the EFY Medley SATB sheet music.  It’s a medley of As Sisters in Zion/Army of Helaman. Army of Helaman (We’ll Bring the World His Truth) is one of my favorite Primary songs and has been since I was a kid. Speaking of church, my mom will be at church this week, but then she’ll be gone the next two weeks as she’ll be in Hawaii.  I’ve decided that next week and the following week I’ll sit with Sister Nelson if she’s in our ward – otherwise I’ll just stay up on the stand with Sister Rainey between hymns.  Most of the time I go sit with my mom between hymns (anyone who’s forgotten – I’m the ward chorister in addition to teaching in Primary).  Of course, my singing voice is still a mess since I’m still coughing.  I’ve decided at this point that if I don’t stop coughing in the next 7-10 days, I’ll give my clinic a call and see what they say.  At least I’m not having sinus issues and I’m still breathing pretty good 🙂  But the cough is getting old – it’s been here about three weeks now.

I’ve got a few things I need to take care of this weekend. #1 is to poke through my goals on dayzero project. There’s at least one I need to take care of this weekend. #2 is to get my journal for 2009 ordered.  I’ve decided to have my journal printed and bound at ldsjournal.com at the end of every year, so I need to order the one for 2009.  It’s only a few months, but I definitely want to start with that.  Tomorrow’s entry will mark 23 straight weeks of writing in my journal, even if some entries have been short and sweet.  Some days there’s just not much I want to say, but at ldsjournal I’m not afraid to say so.  In the past, I’ve never wanted to just post that on OD. However, at ldsjournal there’s no one who’s going to care if I post that.
