Weekend Update

I am still dealing with this sinus cold.  It truly isn't as bad as it was, but I would say yesterday was the first day I felt like my normal self.  I was starting to think I may have had a sinus infection because my upper teeth were getting sensitive every time I sneezed.  Weird, yet true.

Its the weekend for me, now.  Today was pretty quiet at work today, other than some serious shuffling of our schedule.  People who schedule their entire family of 6 for a Saturday, and then doesn't remember, and claimed to not have gotten the reminder call we gave, and as a result doesn't show up and can't keep any of the 6 back to back appointments shouldn't be allowed to have that large of a family.  Nor should they schedule with our office again, just my 2 cents.

Mike and I are entertaining some friends tonight, so I got a lot I have to do to prepare for dinner.  But I'm taking a moment to relax before I jump in. 

I did a little happy dance at my desk yesterday because I didn't get an auto-reject on a position I applied for.  It absolutely means nothing, the e-mail was just a "we will be in contact in a few days with those who meet our needs blah blah blah" sort of e-mail.  But that felt so much better than the insta-reject of "don't even bother, honey".  I'd love to even get a phone call at this point, even if it doesn't lead to a job offer.  I just want someone to look at my application and resume, and think "Hmm, she could be a possibility" rather than it going straight into the trash can because I'm a new graduate.

My brother-in-law is a firefighter/paramedic, and he gave me a tip about a possible opening at a hospital around his work.  I swear, I turn around and there is a whole new hospital group that I've never even heard of.  On one hand, this is good, because it means more positions I can apply for, yet on the other hand, its one more hospital to reject me.  I'm trying really hard to remember that I knew this wasn't going to be easy, and to be grateful that I am over-employed right now, rather than unemployed.  But it still sucks to feel like you aren't good enough, even though you just went through hell to finish nursing school and excelled at it. 

So, the hospital my BIL told me about is on my list to tackle tomorrow.  Plus some projects I want to do around here.  Like our blinds, upon closer inspection, they are dirty and need a serious wiping down.  I did our kitchen blinds, and it took me an hour to get them clean.  They are white, so you would think the dirt would be more obvious, but its not unless you get up close to them.  I am convinced the people who lived here before up were direct descendants of Pigpen from Charlie Brown.  Once I'm done with the blinds, I will have scrubbed basically everything there is to scrub in this apartment besides the walls.  At least the walls were clean because they were painted.....everything else was given the Caviwipe treatment, and then the Clorox bleach wipe treatment.  My new found germa-phobe-ness really came out when we moved in.  I didn't mind cleaning the apartment at all until I saw the shower door in Mike's bathroom, and threw a fit. lol

But even that situation was no match against me armed with gloves, steel wool pads, and tilex.  Good as new!  ;)

Must begin preparing for tonight! :)  By preparing, I mean, pour myself a glass of white zin or moscato. lol
