I got a new job today.

Yay for me. I got a new job today. I have been hating my current job as much as anyone can possilby hate anything. This was not regular job dislike. I almost feel like the guy in Office Space that ends up setting the building on fire after being moved to the basement. Every day at this job I have felt like less of a human being and less of an adult. Being belittled and berated and beat down all day long is not my idea of worthwhile employment. I don't care how much they would have been willing to pay me they were a terrible company. I don't think anyone should be treated the way all of their employees are treated. Not to mention their patients. These poor homebound patients are getting subpar care because the company is only concerned about the bottom line. Money. So amidst my misery I started applying for other jobs. And today I got a new one. I am quite pleased with myself. For the first time ever I got a new job before quitting my old one. Look how responsible I am becoming. I will be working for an orthodontist in MWC right accross from Carl Albert. This is a HUGE relief. Now, I can take the kids to my mom's house instead of her coming to my house. This will relieve a HUGE HUGE HUGE burden on me. I don't think anyone quite understands how hard it is to clean up after my mom and the kids after they have been unsupervised in my house all day. The story of my life has been staying up until midnight scrubbing and cleaning. I leave for work with a clean house and come home to a garbage dump. I spend at least the first 30 minutes every day I'm home just picking up trash. I can not relay how relieved I am to be working in a location where it will be possible to take the kids to mom's house on her days of the week. Also, I will only be working Monday thru Thursday which is my second favorite part. Now I will have an extra day with my children. And only 4 days a week to commute. With gas prices almost the same price as the car itself I appreciate having a short work week. I'm not taking a pay cut either. :) This will be great. It's a small personable office. The doctor and his wife seem like really nice down to earth people. Hopefully this will be a good experience. One thing is for sure...it can't be worse than the place I was at up until now. I just think that people should be spoken to and treated respectfully, and I think if you are going to run a home health care company that the patients should actually get adequate care. Call me crazy. So wish me well on my new endeavor. I'm going in tomorrow to get my personal belongings, do my exit interview and say Adios! Just think of all the things I will be able to do with this extra day of the week!!!
