Things happen to fast!

Well its been a bit again, and it will be a bit until I can post again after tonight, you see I'm moving (with in my city). I was going to be moving in May but I found this really great place for a great price so I jumped on it and now after a 4 days to pack my whole life up, which is not down yet but I have run out of boxes, I am moving tomorrow morning. It kinda took me a back at how fast this all has happened. But on I go full steam ahead and scared out of my mind. It's funny how things turn out you know. Never in a million years would I have imagined this is where my life would be right now.

My internet, phone and cable will not be ready to go until the 4th, I have my couch coming on the 2nd, and a dentist appointment on the 3rd. Than its smooth sailing or at lest I hope it is, I still have to get my cat in but I'm hoping that will not be a problem. I have 10 whole days off work which by the time I am settled in my new place will be down to 5! So I will have 5 days to de-stress and relax. That should be good. I have no idea what my future is going to be at this point in time and that is so unbearably stressful, things are all over the place. I'm staying in a city where I hardly know a soul and I'm going out on my own, I think I had to write that to realize that I'm really going to do this.

I am not to sure what else to write at this point in time, wish me luck! I will post again from chateaus la M. Thats all for now.

A fast update!

So I have to leave in a bit to run around and do some stuff but I thought I would up date about something I talked about in my last post. The competition at work so our boss thought that both teams did excellent in both areas so we all got two days off with pay!!! Woot, I'm not sure when I will use mine more than likely when my sister comes to visit. But I was supper happy when I found that out. Its nice to be rewarded for doing something like that and knowing your stuff and the ability to be creative. So the count down is still on and now four days until I get my vacation!!! THANK GOD, I need a break so bad its not even funny.

Any way thats all I have to say for now and I need to start getting ready to leave I have an hour so not to long and need to get dressed and blow dry my hair and such so I'm going to go. I'll write more later.

Almost a week....

So it is almost a week until I get a week off work! WOOT, I cannot wait to have some time off, it is much needed, and as of today it is 10 days until I get my vacation! That includes the weekend also. I was going to go back to my home town for a few days but I am not sure if I will be able to do that now, I'm going to wait and see what happens and go from there. So I know that I mentioned that I was looking into become a supportive roommate, or did I? Any way I have done up my cover letter for that and just need to do some grammar and punctuation checks and than I can start applying to different agencies. I still have some thinking to do about that before I decide for sure that’s what I want to do but I leaning towards yuppiers at the moment.

The biggest things holding me back are the "what if's" and the clients I work with also because there are people that I look at and think dear lord what the f**k would I do if I had to live with that every day! But at the same time it would be a great experience and I feel I would be a great roommate for one of them because I know what they need and what they want but never seem to get from others. So I feel I could provide a new kind of life for them. But the largest question in my mind is... Am I really ready to take this on my plate? At the moment I cannot answer that question, but I think I am ready to at lest begin some of the start points for this quest.

Today I think I had the funniest training in the whole world we did a scavenger hunt for policies and a bunch of other junk but it was a tone of fun. I think it was the most enjoyable thing I have done there yet, on a personal level not a professional one. The management team was to announce the winners by the end of the day and did not but there are two different categories, Creativity and Education. The prize for each is a Day OFF with pay, so you have the possibility to get two days with pay off, which would be grand. But the other team did a good job to and did their work so I feel as though I would want the other team to get one of my days off because they tried really hard but I must say this my team kicked some major bum!

Any who I don't have much else to say besides that for now, wish me luck in winning at lest one day off with pay and I'm going to run now.

Its been a while.... again

I have a hard time updating all the time and can never seem to do it. Than at times I get to my computer and get in the mood to write and than all the sudden my mind is blank! Does that evr happen to any one else? I sure hope so, I have been finding out a lot lately that I'm not the only one who goes through a lot of things. I hade a really good talk with one of my co-workers today, her and I do not work together she is in a different program but she is supper cool and always has really good things to say. It was refreashing to know that I am not the only one in the world who has hard days.

So work is going well, I feel a little over worked and under paid but I mean what should I expect working in Social Services! Also I feel like we are being watched lately, my boss came into one of my classes the other day just to see how things where going, this never has happened before! I'm not sure if they are coming to see how we are doing or if they want to make sure that we are doing our job that they thing we aren't. So I have come up with a great solution, make them particapate! haha So when my boss came in I said " come sit at the table and pay the game with us, she did and than after two rounds left saying this was lots of fun. Today one of the other Managers came in and I got him up and playing a game also. I play a lot of games but I feel that pratical us makes things easier for my clients to understand how to us the skills I teach.

Any way after I got him up he tried to leave right away but he had a lot of fun, I'm not sure if they understand why I do things the way I do but I think its important that they see I'm trying to give the clients the best possible experience! I have some time off soon and I am so looking forward to that, not as much as I was before because I am now not going anywhere but I really need the time off and who knows maybe I'll rent a car and just go somewhere else for a bit. I really could use a change of pace, even for just a little bit. Any who I have some things to do before I go to bed so I will try to write again soon, and hopfully I have something to say when I sit down to write.

The beginning of the week

Well it is Monday tomorrow and I feel a little rested at lest. I have been going to the Library a lot lately and have got some great stuff for my week; I got some DVD's on Math, literacy, and government as I start my program this week on that kinda stuff. I think my clients will get a lot out of these movies... well I hope anyway. I have a lot of problems teaching the math component as I am good at math I am not so good at breaking it down into the really simple stuff so the one DVD I got has all kinds of math songs and rhymes to remember the things you are to do. It looks great and I think I might learn what will work really well for them with this.

I have been getting a lot of movies lately from the Library its great! I made this really great thing over the weekend but I can't say to much about it as it is for my sister, and a surprise... so surprise sis your getting something extra special from me soon. I wish I could tell more but as soon as she has gotten the package I will talk about it. Which will not be for a bit because something else I am doing is having issues right now, so as soon as that part is done off it will go!

I got to see a Canstruction at my local city hall this past week also for those of you who read my blog and do not know what that is look at this web site: http://www.canstruction.com/indexn.html
Every thing in these sculptures are made out of non perishable food items its really cool! Any way it’s getting kinda late here and I have some stuff to do yet before the night is done I will write more later!
