So, I was offered a job today and accepted it right away, good idea, right? No! I forgot this job is an LTO (Long Term Occasional...basically maternity leave), which means I loose benefits, senority, no paid sick days and my rate of pay is lower ( Read more... )

So, I'm having a hard time dealing with a past I didn't know about. Like a family history past. I just don't understand why people have to be manipulative for their own benefit, but screw over many, many other people and then other people in your family have to hear the stories and it makes you cry. You feel hurt, used, and betrayed. It's sucks and ( Read more... )

So, I have a summer job. I am working with a 17 year old boy who has prader-willi syndrome and low-functioning autism. It is going to be quite the adventure! I will be travelling with the family every so often to Vermont (their cottage :O). I am so excited and I hope everything goes really well! I have been doing one on one training with him at the ( Read more... )

Why am I so afraid to be alone? Why am I so afraid of so many things? Why am I indecisive? How can I change? How can I improve upon myself? What can I do to better this world? Why are their so many bad things in this world? why do I care what other people think? Why do I spend so much time sitting, doing nothing? There are so many things to do in ( Read more... )

Steve may be away every week in March and just come home for weekends because there is a job that he needs to do with his work. :( I'm soo sad! So, for March Break I'm travelling to people's school's. Otherwise I'm going to be super sad and lonely!

And now I'm going to bed. It is way past my bedtime.

Stayed home sick today. I'm sick of being soo stuffed up, so I'm taking a day off to do nothing (except possibly read some of my textbooks). I hate taking days off becasue all I can think of all day long is ,"I hope someone came in for my shift". Today I would have the twins too, which is a handful ( Read more... )

So, today Steve drove me to my Dad's work for 7 because he has to be in Markham for 8. I sat around until now and soon my Dad is going to drive me to work ( Read more... )

So..I totally ditched LJ for a bit. I just remembered today, when I was totally bored (PA Day, you have to show up, but there is barely anything to do for EA's...really a waste of my time). Well, I could be doing stuff, but I don't have the right tools and need to wait for another autism specialist to come in so that I can make sure I am doing the ( Read more... )

Oh man! My Bachelorette party was awesome! Still recovering..I think I may have gotten a cold or just really bad allergies... oh well. What can you do?!? I love animals way too much to ignore them ( Read more... )

Working as a summer school assistant has been quite interesting. We have had vandalism (stupid, stupid stuff, like vandalizing pictures from students like way back and crazy bathroom vandalism) to selling pocket knives and cigarettes to footballs getting stuck in trees. I totally thought we were the bad site until the last day when we got the news ( Read more... )
