Wedding Trousseau!
I've been stuck at home for the past three weekends because M’s been running around helping friends move or visiting them before they go back to college, but this last Saturday I FINALLY managed to get the car and do some of the stuff I had been putting off. The Big Thing I wanted to do was get the fabric for my wedding corset and chemise, so I ( Read more... ) -

Well, found out I didn’t get the promotion. I wasn’t on the list for final-round interviews, so even though I’m not officially Not It, it’s a pretty solid indicator that I’m out of the running. To say that I’m disappointed is a pretty massive understatement, and I have no intention of staying with the department if they shove me back down in the ( Read more... ) -

-I’m supposed to hear sometime this week whether or not I get the promotion, and while I’m nervous, I’m not as big a wreck as I thought I would be. Maybe it’s because I applied for a whole bunch of other county positions that are very similar to what I’m doing now, and I feel like I have a bit of a safety net. Whatever it is, they said that they ( Read more... ) -
Summer is Here
Things have improved a lot since the last time I wrote. The lady that works as the executive assistant to Chief Reyes (who is the chief chief) is planning to retire at the end of June, and she’s brought me back into admin to train with her so I can take her place once she leaves. It is so nice to be back in admin! Having an 8-5 M-F is so great, the ( Read more... ) -
Life Update
Sort of dropped off the map for a while. I developed pretty severe depression after starting my new position, to the point where there were days I didn't even get out of bed. I've been slowly pulling out of it, and I've had several pretty good days in a row which is a relief. For a long time I thought I just had some mild, situational depression, ( Read more... ) -

I had my first two days on midnight shift, and it was fairly awful. I don't really know anymore why I'm on this Zod-forsaken shift, because it literally has the most people of any shift. They kept saying it was because there was no one was on this shift and they were so understaffed, but, they only have desks for 5 clerks to work at any one time, ( Read more... ) -

There's nothing like a good bitch session at the beginning of the workday to really relieve a bit of stress. I actually caught a couple of the other secretaries on my way in this morning, and we all had a good long moment of mutually complaining, and it was just really nice to commiserate with them. Turns out I'm actually behind the curve, as three ( Read more... ) -

I've gone from anger and grief to feeling like I'm in some sort of limbo. Until I find a new job, all my plans are on hold - buying a house, all our travel plans, Paris, it's all just up in smoke now. Ugh. I don't even feel like I can sew because I don't even know where I'm going or what I'm doing ( Read more... ) -
Much type. Many job. Wow.
I went on sort of an application spree, and applied to a bunch of positions before my 11 o'clock lunch. (I'm not desperate to get out of here before the transfer, noooo ( Read more... ) -

Fingers crossed, guys, the Navy has received my application for the archaeologist position here in town. I actually meet all the qualifications to go in at a higher pay grade than I thought, which is good. If I could get this position, it would mean that I might actually have a job that I could transfer to wherever M goes to grad school, which will ( Read more... )
