No Remarks |
I redesigned the Strawberry Web Builder again. I guess this is the fourth site design it’s had, but I like this design the best of all the designs it’s had. I still have some more styling to do before it’s completely redesigned.
I used lighter colors this time and added some green to the layout. I was starting to really hate the old layout because it just didn’t look good to me. The layout was so boring and common.
I’m still waiting on my workers compensation check. Day after day and I’m still waiting on my check which really sucks! I have to buy Destin’s birth certificate again and get his shot record before I go…*Sigh*
I’ll be leaving in only 5 days now. Time is really winding down fast. I finished cleaning the apartment the other day. The only thing left to do is to buy some paint remover and clean up the paint spots in the boys room and sweep the front room, which can’t be done until all the furniture is removed. I will then have to take photos of my apartment and get a walk through on the 29th since I’m leaving on the 30th.
September 30th will be my first day of FREEDOM! From everyone elses problems and stress.
Only 26 Days Left
No Remarks |Time is really winding down to the wire for the official move to Florida. Everyday I am packing more and more stuff and throwing more and more things out that I don’t want or need. I can’t wait to move because I hate this place and I can’t wait to get everything together in Florida so I can have my boys with me.
When I move I have to set up daycare, get a job, and get Elijah enrolled in school. Then I will need to get a plane ticket which will be about $500 for me and the kids on my off day to pick them up and return to Florida.
Besides the big stuff I have to get my plates switched to Florida, my license changed, electric, and water and phone service turned on in my name. I’m going to be really busy in October and I have a long drive ahead of me that will more than likely be a 2 day trip.
Townsend actually has the nerve to want me to return back to work after 4 weeks of leave. They just won’t give me a damn break! Christine told me about a conversation she heard about me returning to work for one week. I can’t believe they actually expect me to work there the last week I will ever be here! Can’t I have time to pack things up? It’s not like they are completely oblivious of the fact that I am moving out of state. I can’t stand going there. I’m not learning anything new. It’s just a complete waste of time.
Christine brought me 2 cards that everyone signed congratulating me on the new baby. One card was from the students and the other one was from staff. Everyone signed it except they’re poor excuse for a receptionist Holly. Christine said she read it, but didn’t sign it. I don’t care. I don’t know what I ever did to her lazy ass other than do her JOB! She can be an asshole, but she bet not think for a second that I will do anything she asks me to do.
I’m Tired of Being Used!
No Remarks |Right now I’m on my lunch break and I am really irritated with this whole ordeal. Here I am a person whom doesn’t even work here once again doing Holly (the receptionists) job.
I walked in this morning and the owner was actually sitting at the front desk, doing Holly’s job! She asked me to cover the front desk today because Holly just called off again as usual.
That woman calls off basically every week for days on end and she actually works here! Here I am in my last month of pregnancy and I get negative reports written about me regarding my attendance when they are all excused for doctor appointments. I get told if this was a real job I’d be fired, but again if this was a real job I wouldn’t be working right now.
If that is so true then why isn’t the receptionist fired? Why aren’t they bugging her about her attendance? She calls off at the last minute all the time and she doesn’t even put in a request for time off. When she calls off, they just put up with it. She has taken off for weeks and weeks and she’s only a part time employee! She took a vacation, then she just took the rest of the week off the following week. Then the same cycle the week after that. She even had the nerve to leave me notes to do the work she’s suppose to be doing. I’m not doing her work! It’s bad enough I have to cover the front desk when I am suppose to be working on projects in the morning. They’re not paying me $10/hour to do that so I’m not doing it.
It’s okay when everyone else does it, but let Samara do something like that even with an legitimate reason and I’m out the door with no job.
They and her, use me to do her job and then it’s a problem if I am late or absent and I don’t even work here!
When Will I get a Break?
No Remarks |Today was a very ugly, uncomfortable day. It rained all day long. I woke up to crashing sounds of thunder and lightning, along with heavy rain.
This morning I had to go to my son’s pediatrician to pick up his shot record so I could finish enrolling him in school. I then had to drop the copy off at his soon-to-be “first” school and get a packet of everything needed before school starts. It sucked so bad because despite the fact I had an umbrella my dress pants were sticking to my legs because they were wet and my shirt was wet from all the rain. Ugh!
When I got to work I read over my Trainee Report evaluation and they wrote it up like I was this person that is just unreliable and never comes to work! Had they forgotten that I was 9 months pregnant and I have weekly doctor visits along with the weekly therapy appointments that BWC has me attending? Both are important and can’t be missed. They claimed that “they never know when I am going to show up.”
My doctor visits are for the wellbeing of me and my unborn child and the therapy visits are to ensure that I am doing what is needed to continue to receive BWC payments and to recover from my injury.
What am I suppose to do? Every appointment I have ever had I have emailed them so they would know when I will be in and everything is excused.
I explained to Linda and my Case Worker that being that I am in the 9th month of my pregnancy this is common pregnancy protocol to attend the doctor weekly. If I am in pain I WILL leave and I will not cancel my appointments just to be there. I told her if this was really a real job I would be on maternity leave right now and my attendance would not be an issue. I’m not going to put that place over the health of my baby.
It’s just so unfair. I can’t get a damn break. I work so hard and I come there whenever I can. I even come after my doctor visits so I won’t be absent and it still isn’t good enough. I am stretching myself to the limit, with this training, my pregnancy, trying to prepare to move, and getting Elijah ready to start school. When will I get a break? When?!
Do people whom work hard ever get what they worked for?
The MCO claimed if my attendance doesn’t improve they will have to enforce an attendance plan and if I fail to meet the requirements of the plan my case could be closed. Just any reason to make things more difficult than they already are. Any way to try to slow down my progress of moving to Florida.
When will it all stop?
Happy Anniversary Sweet Vanilla Sugar!
No Remarks |Today sucked at first when I saw my site was down. Hostgator didn’t even send me an email letting me know that my domain needed to be renewed as of yesterday so I didn’t even know until I went to my site and saw some generic web page instead of my lovely blog. I’m still waiting to hear from them to see why I wasn’t notified.
Besides that…
“HAPPY ANNIVERSARY SWEET VANILLA SUGAR!”
Sweetvanillasugar.com is officially a year old as of August 3rd, 2007. So sweetvanillasugar.com needs a present…
Today I’m purchasing sweetvanillasugar.net so I won’t have any copy cats.
I’m also working on a new website for a Christine which is great because that gives me something to do. I love new web design projects and I was so excited when I was able to finally start working on her site. I always learn something new with each website I work on.
In other news…
I finally heard back from my caseworker with BWC because I wrote to her concerning my car needing to be repaired. She told me BWC would pay for it, but the mechanic I choose wanted to keep my car until BWC finally paid him which would be 4-6 weeks! When I told her that and she said BWC said no to that mechanic and would find a provider whom wouldn’t keep my car like that so I’m just waiting to hear back from her. I hope I can get my car repaired before I move to Florida.
