I'm ok with the pound gain, what a crappy week! Running around delivering resumés, massively overqualified for what I was mainly looking for, not enough experience for what I am qualified for. But I start a new job on Monday, we'll see how it goes and if anything better calls me back this coming week, but I'm seriously looking into a Medical Administrative Assistant accelerated diploma, which I could do during the day with this job, and then homework at night at work, so it could be for the best.

Pay cut, but I'm discovering I was one of the highest paid auditors in the city, and it just isn't enough to make me put up with the fact that they are getting rid of our health benefits, demoted practically everyone in an effort to get them to quit so they didn't have to pay severance, belittling and simply telling people that they would be called in when they were needed and then just not calling back, etc.

Oh well, absolutely not my problem anymore!! And if I can get through this new job for the next 9 months or so then I can get going in the medical field until Steve is done his nursing career. Then if I wanted to return to work when the kids are more grown up I would have a pretty secure field to return to as well. Hopefully I can get going on that in September!

So Papa is doing MUCH better, he's been home a week now and is able to walk around the house fine, very little oxygen needed. He's still frustrated about feeling weak, but on the whole is doing smashing!

Which of course means that it's perfect time for all Hell to break loose in another area of my life, namely work. I know I had talked about how bad it was before, and that I had gotten another job, but I didn't end up taking it. The new job was $1 an hour less and there were no health benefits set up, and both Steve and I need a bunch of dental work done.

So I had stuck around, on the promise from the new owners that things would be much better, the staffing issues were all worked out, and everyone would get along.

So they proceeded to fire/chase away another 5 CRITICAL employees, demoted another person, and suddenly may be shutting down the restaurant completely, maybe my night shifts shut down, and to top it all off the are revoking the HEALTH BENEFITS!!!

So now that everything is basically rock bottom it's time to leave no matter what a new job is like pay or benefit-wise. There is NO saving grace left here.

Of course now that things are even worse I'm having trouble finding something - but I'm hopeful.
