Happy New Year!

It has been quite a while since I posted. In that time I have turned 31, found a job and lost a job and the new year has come around.

So the job....on my birthday, 12/17, I started a new temp assignment. It was ok, not the greatest job, but definitely not the worst. Also on that day I started getting what I thought was a simple head cold, no big deal. When it got worse by the 29th I finally realized it was a sinus infection. I went to Urgent Care, because I have no health insurance, and was officially diagnosed with a sinus infection, given antibiotics and went on my way. The first few days after starting the meds I felt worse... I couldn't keep my eyes open, my head felt like it was going to explode and I was blowing my nose constantly. So I missed a few days of work, my 3 week in.

Then I started to feel better. After I finished with the 10 days of antibiotics I thought all was well. I was wrong. It got worse again. I emailed my primary care and told her what was going on and she agreed to call in a prescription for me, so I wouldn't have the expense of paying for a doctor's appointment. Of course the med she prescribed was $102, but if it works, that is fine with me.

So last week I missed 4 out of 5 days of my new job. They offered me the position I was temping for....until last week. They asked me not to come back on Monday. I am not surprised and not that upset about it. I mean, yes, I need the money. But I hate working for corporations where your every move is watched and someone you never met and never will meet tells you how to do your job. I hate that crap. Plus, I was working in a really small regional office. There were only 5 employees, including me. 2 of those people were out of the office on a daily basis taking care of their jobs. So that left me and 2 other people. The 2 other people were constantly talking crap about the 2 that weren't in the office! I couldn't believe how childish and unprofessional they were. Plus, when these 2 people called in they wanted me to ask them what they wanted (although they did not want to talk to me) and then say that the person they actually called for would call them back, even though they weren't busy and it was part of their job to talk to this person. I called them on it immediately and told them that I wasn't going to lie for them. Perhaps that is another reason they don't want me back, unwillingness to play their game. Oh well....

So it has now been 10 weeks without my antidepressants. With the exception of the sinus infection I am feeling pretty good. The economy sucks and I don't have a job, but I am trying to stay positive with all the possibilities open to me. I just need to figure out what I want to do. The problem is that I don't have a clue what to do. I could go back to school...I could work some crappy little job while searching for my dream job....I have no idea what my dream job is. It is sort of scary not having a goal...and exciting because I can do anything. So many choices.....

Anyway, I am now feeling better from the sinus infection. Not 100% by any means, but better. I have terrible cabin fever though....must get out of the house. I think I will take the dog for a walk....its free.

Hope everyone is having a better start to their new year than I am and I will talk to y'all later!
