News...

So I know that you all know by now what is going on in my life! I was told today that I had to choose between my current job and going to school. Obviously I choose school, because the whole purpose of me working is that I am paying to go to school! So as of today I am searching for a new job. I sent out about 7 resumes tonight after working on my homework. I am hoping that I will get a couple hits from those and then plan on sending out even more tomorrow, my day off.

It all is a bit depressing because I was told that they would work around my school schedule until the new management arrived today and said she would not ok my request. My boss, Jerry fought for me but at this time there isn't really anything I can do. I also decided that I was done working for a company that I have worked my ass off for but didn't get much in return. I got measly raises that I couldn't even buy a stamp with and even worked on Friday, the day after Thanksgiving with strep throat and tonsillitis because at my job you do not get sick days.

So all in all in was a frustrating day but now I am looking at this positively. I think that everything happens for a reason and I think that it is probably for the better. I will be taking 14 credit hours this coming semester and it was about time I cut down on my hours and found a job that had more flexibility in hours. Luckily there are quite a few big hospitals within a 20 minute driving distance and I can find a position with quite the variety of hours.

I will keep you guys posted on what happens in the coming days/ weeks with that. My plan right now is to come to California as originally planned, on the 29th of December and then depart on Jan 4. It all just depends on if they don't fire me from my current job (yes it is a possibility since they know I am leaving) and how soon I can find a new job.

I agree with Lanie! You are brilliant and who knows, maybe this new job will lead to even better things.

Thanks you guys!! I appreciate it!! :)

I did get my first email today! It is for a medical assistant position at the University hospital in the woman's center. They do quite a bit of screening, so the email said that HR had forwarded my info to the hiring department. So that means I made it past the 1st round of screening! :)

I will keep you all updated! Thanks for the support! I love my family!
