Sounds like you made the right decision; for your heart and mind and, most importantly, for Artie as well.@foxxycat ((Hugs)) it sounds like a horrendous nightmare you are living... so horrible.. I do not know what to say..
I remember when my hospital was either going to be sold or merge with another one. It was nail biting time.. lay offs, rumors running rampant.. a very bad working situation. (It is still is)
Wishing you the best of luck all around...
the only thing I can think of is to be semi-honest during interviews.. everyone knows your place is undergoing treacherous times.
I would probably say; you are looking around to see what is out there.. while you love your current role, the future is uncertain, and you want to be with a company who is stable ~~ a place where you can have a future.. and possible advancement; that you are at a dead end where you are... and need some financial stability.. that you heard very good things about where you are applying and are willing to work hard, to achieve more skills for the future.
hopefully that sounds ok
***************************
on to me!! I am going to vent:
I have made a decision.. not a life changing one, but a family one..
I have decided not to attend a first b-day party for my Cousin's grandson. I would have to drive 120 miles round trip in order to attend this party. I would be traveling alone. It is at 2pm. Would have to leave my house at 12:30pm and probably arrive home at around 6:30pm.....
I never see these people!! Only at Thanksgiving, and Christmas..and pictures on Facebook.. never talk to them.. I am not going to be a 'cash cow".. I did that with my cousin's kid, ~~~the mother of this baby.
I spent so much money on this girl/woman when she was young.. and now, she does not even talk to me at family gatherings, not even a remembrance of me taking her and her sister to the Children's Museum, the Aquarium, to many Movies, to the Museum of Science, going for Ice Cream, miniature golf, petting zoos, shopping, taking her to my hairdresser for her first 'highlight's, meeting Miss Massachusetts, annual apple picking, going sledding with her and her sister, teaching her to drive, just hanging out, taking her for a day when her parents were having a bad time/divorce.... so I am stopping it now. This is the first grandchild, so I am nipping it in the bud.
Never did she ever call and ask about my dad, never did she even call to see how he was when he was dying.. nothing..
At her sons's Christening.. I was left in charge to take care of my aunt-- the baby's great-grandmother... and was pretty much ignored.
I do not have anything in common with them.. I do not drink and drive..This party is at a bar which the father of the baby is partner in....Never see this kid at all. Saw them last at Christmas.
I am done.
Besides, between wasting car's gas to travel, and a gift...well, lets just say, I could pay my own gas bill..
She chose to live 60 miles away from where she grew up with family.
And Artie would be missing a dose of his cisapride medicine..I am not willing to risk that.. not after all I have done for my guy.
Thank you for listening to me vent. I sent my regrets to the Invite. I am late doing so, but I have been debating it for a while now.. it really got me thinking the past few days..
What are you going to do with it?The biggest thing I did Cindy is tell off the family members who made my life a living h. And just deal with a few of them. I don't go out of my way to see them. They never ask me if I am ok. Last night I had a very bad night with my depression. People ticking me off. Things getting under my skin that normally I could give a flip about. But I got through it. I am here at work. Did some more welding at lunch-I need to add a cheater lens because I am trying to run small beads and I am having a hard time seeing the puddle. I also need a new helmet that goes down to shade 7. I use a shade 10 but it's too dark for what I was doing. I need to learn to weld on .030" thick tubing. I took a piece of shim stock that was .005" thick and set it at 20amps=poof! OPPS! I was just fooling around to see if I can do sheet metal welding..opps!!I laughed at myself!
Right now I am building a kind of house out of metal..a cube piece and two long pieces set up perpendicular to each other. I still have to grind the mill scale off the pieces I will tack on. It's been interesting to play around with it. Darn I need a garage..I could sit there and weld beads on scraps for hours..I am weird-it helps my OCD it seems-repetitive patterns. Hopefully by next Saturday I will have the roof welded onto the cube section. Hahaha I just love building things-even if it looks soso..still fun!
Just know that the hierarchy can change at a moments notice.Today was the first day since Ruby got here that I saw the hierarchy that her and Angua worked out in action. I know that Carrot is allowed to do anything he wants with Ruby - He can kick her out of a window perch, steal her food, ect without any ramifications (from her at least). Yesterday, I saw that Angua can also do the same. Ruby was napping in my lap and Angua came and sat on the arm of my chair. She meowed and looked at Ruby. Ruby immediately got up and left so that Angua could take my lap.
