Debbie - Thank you so much for the card!!!
Becky-I would say go. While your dad is in pain it's not life threatening so if you stay you all might just get on each other's nerves. Plus, your dad wants you to go.
I spent my lunch hour trying not to cry and I come in to find the rejection e-mail. I just want to go home and hide under the covers.![]()
so out of the scores of resumes I've sent out...I've had a handful of interviews and just received my 2nd thanks, but no thanks. This time I think it was I was going to be to expensive for them.
on top of all that I've had run-ins with 2 people I work with now and Jim called me twice in less than 5 minutes with asinine questions. The second time I told him to put on his big boy pants and figure it out and he continued on so I told him I've had a crappy day (before the thanks but, no thanks) and he wasn't helping and hung up on him.

Im finally back from the doctors! He said it is pretty swollen but nothing appears tobe broken...he felt my face and said he could see some of the bones on the CT scan from the ER. He said that a combination from the fall and the surgery is making it so that i am swollen, cant eat, and cant open my mouth..so i have to go back in 3 weeks!
Next news..i got mail that i was offered a long term substitute position!! I have to call tomorrow to find out the details but all i know is that it is from Oct 20-March 6!

Here's our place cards! (Or at least the start of them! Once we figure out the seating chart, I'll add "table X" to each one...)

I know this will sound strange, but I frequently ask myself what I want to be when I grow up. I really feel like I've never found that "career" that not only provides money, but fulfills my life. I find myself thinking more about it as Colby gets ready to go to school. Lately I am thinking about how much I enjoyed teaching children to swim. Of course my Water Safety Instructor and Life Guard Certifications ran out 20 years ago, but it really wouldn't be hard to recert. We have a new indoor swimming facitlity that will be opening this winter. I am toying with the idea of tracking down the owner and feeling them out for the pool director position. It would work well for me in a lot of ways. I'd be working with kids, teaching them an important life skill. I would be providing myself with daily exercise, and swimming is a whole body workout. If I were the director I could probably make up my own schedule to some extent which would allow me to do things with the kids when I need to. My degree is in Small Business Management so I would also finally be using my degree. My problem is that I have no idea who to contact. I guess if I really want to pursue it I should start doing some research. I also have no idea what a position like that would payDoes that seem like a reasonable job for a soon to be 39 year old woman?
Deb, I did not become a lifeguard/water safety instructor until I was 40. It is never too late. It definitely sounds like it is the type of thing you should be pursuing. Pursuing it doesn't tie you to it if it doesn't work out to be enough money or flexible enough or ...
I figure when I'm 60 or 70, I may figure out what I want to be when I grow up.
