Lots of news. It's been quite a week.
I've been reprimanded by my 'new' manager about every little thing I have done wrong. Seems little spies are all around me just waiting to call me out on every tiny thing I do wrong. Funny thing is. They do it too, but... they all have each other's back. I am just the odd girl out. It's always been that way. But I always had my 'old' manager on my side. But my 'new' manager has always hated me and has probably been waiting for this day. During our little meeting she did not tell me one good thing I had/have done. Nothing. Nada. Apparently... she just thinks I suck. Well, good. Because that makes what I am about to do today THAT much easier.
Yesterday, I got that call that I have been waiting for. That call that I have been longing for and pushing for and putting five months effort into. It took a lot of resumes. It took a lot of interviews. It took a lot of disappointments and tears, but as much as I wanted to and almost did... I didn't. I did not give up. And yesterday I got the call followed by the letter stating that I was being asked to be the new Administrative Assististant to the CHAIR of Obstetrics & Gynecology at one of the most reputable Medical Facilities around. That's right. ME!!! I can get out of this hellhole where my knowledge and abilities are going to waste and do something with myself! And I can shove it in the old bags face! You think I am worth nothing?! You think I don't do shit around here?! Fine. PEACE OUT!
I am scared to death, however. This is a big deal. This position will not be easy. It will be demanding. It will be hard work, but isn't this what I wanted? YES! Do you know what I could learn from this woman? Do you know what kind of challenge and opportunity has been put before me?! Sure, it will be hard, but I need this. I need a change. And as scared as I am, I could not be more excited to make the change at such a wonderful, reputable place and with such an amazing team. You can almost feel the energy and commaderie the minute you walk in! I love it. I am ready. And I am doing this beginning November 14. That's right. Only one week's notice ;)
What else. Well, my new man, who I will now call C. That's right everyone. He's that great. He doesn't get some little nickname. He gets... AN INITIAL. He spoiled me. He knows how I feel about birthdays. How mine usually lead to some disaster and end up with me in tears. So he decided to give me my gift early at some random time on some random day. And let me tell you. This boy... he set the bar high for himself. And I told him he's in trouble because now I will always just expect the best! ;) Just kidding. We all know I am not like that! (right?! teehee!) So what did he get me you all want to know?! A nintendo Wii!!! I am totally fricken spoiled! I told him to 'Take it back!!' and he absolutely refused. Punk. Who buys that for a girl he has just started dating?! His response: 'a guy who is smitten for a girl whom he really really cares for'. Yeah... uh huh. You mean a crazy guy. But whatever. Here we have it and I guess it is here to stay and I am pretty freaking excited and very lucky to have C in my life regardless of such an extravagent and FUN gift!!
Speaking more of C. He'll be around for awhile. We are taking the big step. This weekend is my birthday weekend and even though I will be gone for it to be rocking it with my girls for a bachlorette party in WI Dells, I will be spending some time with friends and family the night before for a simple, but fun, Italian-then-beer/bowling/darts/get a little crazy evening around home. And C... C will be ... MEETING THE FAM! The second guy since First Love to meet them! Wow. Big stuff here folks. I think everyone is super excited to meet this guy who has calmed this girl down, made her smile, and hasn't caused one bit of drama in her life. I am sure they will shake his hand and thank him for being AWESOME. I thank him every day. I don't miss the drama all the other guys used to bring. C is a perfect mix. He keeps me on my toes in a good way. He knows when to be super sweet, when to be more challenging, when to back off, and when to push. And I think he came around and the perfect time too. But enough with all the mushy crap huh? ;)
I got a parking ticket for being in a metered parking spot for 4 freaking minutes. Lame. I thought I lost my phone after working my second job last night (FREAK OUT). But it was found in my co-workers car whom dropped me off at mine after work last night (but that was one fretful/sleepless night let me tell you! Damn phone runs my life and has it all stored on it too!!). That's what I get after working a 14 hour day and guzzling down horse-pills... I mean very large sized amoxicillin for my earache I have. I get a little (more) airheaded and dazed.
I have a fulllll rest of the week and weekend planned, but have off Monday for my b-day. Then I work three days. Last day at my current job is Thursday then off Friday to spend some quality time with mi ma-ma and then another busy weekend (my sister's baby shower!) and then... NEW JOB!!!!!!!!! :)
Have a great weekend, ya'll!
