If there are almost 30 towels in your cottage, and you only have 20 people staying there, how do you manage to use all of the towels in one night (bath towels and dish rags). This is the same amount that people typically use in one week...and you used it in one night. And same with the trash bags. How did you use all the trash bags that someone would use in a week IN ONE NIGHT? Seriously? Thank you for ringing our home doorbell multiple times to let us know you needed more trash bags because you used them all IN ONE NIGHT while we were enjoying our only day off together...ish, since Russell already had to sit in the office until noon...but you wait until after that to come ring our home doorbell. Thanks. I think church ladies are the worst ever.

Am I an uber grouch? Yes.

This is going to be a terrible week.

I have to spend my whole day in Charleston Tuesday doing pap smears and who knows what else, then taking a test in the library, and probably class, too, because they like making me drive home in the dark. I hate you WVU.

I invented post-its.

Things are about to change at work. The social worker that they hired to do the program with me has quit. No 2 week notice. Just quit. So this could be good or bad. I'm going to try to see this as good. This means that I have twice as many clients now because I'll be taking over hers as well (well, I'm assuming this...I haven't spoken to my boss, yet, but there isn't even enough clients to split the case load in two and have two full-time workers). Since I have been only getting 10-13 hours a week, I see this as a good thing. Although, when I say I have only been getting 10-13 hours per week, I mean I have only been getting paid for that much and actually working probably twice that amount. There is so much paperwork, and organizing, and mailing to do, but the job is only based on billable time right now, which means I only get paid for what I can bill the client (i.e. going to a home visit or calling them on the phone). If I'm going to take on this many clients, things are going to have to change. I'm going to request to my boss that the position be changed to a "regular" employee as in I get paid for what work I put into it. If I come into the office, I get paid for it. If I call 40 clients, and only 2 of them answer the phone, I get paid for the time I spent calling all of these clients rather than only getting paid for 15 minutes billable time. I am a busy person. I have three graduate level classes right now. I have a home, husband, 2 dogs, a cat, and goldfish to take care of. I have friends and family I would like to see. And I would like to be paid for the work that I put into something...especially since the program is around 4 months behind and everything is in disarray, and I'm not going to put it back to rights for free. Being organized takes time, and I am not willing to put my free time into it when I can go somewhere else, get paid for what work I do, and probably get paid more. Did I mention that I accepted this job for $6 less than what I was making in Morgantown. And I still don't have insurance and won't for like another 2 months? And my boss doesn't know anything about the program that she monitors? And I had no orientation and have been having to take MY FREE TIME to learn how to do my job? It really sounds like I am crazy for even staring there, BUT they need someone to help, and there are good points to this job. Maybe I should ask for my own desk, too, since there is one empty where someone left a post-it note that said "I quit".

I love post-its.
