Troubled times

So things haven't been going too swimingly for the Na na lately. I just got my mail for the first time in two weeks and it seems that my student loans have sucked my hsbc account dry and I have to find a way to put more money in there before the next installement gets taken out - where will the money come from? Which segues beautifully into the fact that my paycheck almost bounced this week - one of the nanny's check bounced and the El Salvadorian nanny didn't even get a check - I guess you have your pecking order right there. So all of my vacillating has come to a head. I need to get out and get out soon - besides getting a second job to help pay for my student loans. I thank all those people who said they would help me out - it is good to have friends - especially ones that wont throw you to the curn of skid row like a Kaiser Permenente employee!! If any of you have any ideas and want my resume to pass around - just email me and I will send it to you - I fixed it up today and I have to say I look pretty good and it is all true :) I dont even know how people lie on those things - how do they get through interviews and reference calls? I know a few people that lie about having their college degree, but no one ever checks on that. Anyway - last night I lost a lot of sleep and today I feel much better - I will let my boss loose the sleep tonight thinking about whether or not she can really afford to keep me around. So now I am on the hunt for something terrific - someplace where there will be other people that work in the office with me (that speak English or words for that matter.) someplace where I wont be cramped into a little corner - someplace where I can make a cup of coffee without the kitchen shaking from the construction in the next room. I consider myself a very patient person. Really. And I was bawling at the job from day one but stuck it out for another four months - sitting alone in a room by myself all day long with no lunch breaks and no one to talk to. Not many networking possibilities there are there now? I was directed towards a service today that pays people four times what I am making to do the same shit job - not the title or the job I am supposed to be doing, but the shit work she is giving me to do while she promises me that I will have the VP stuff someday when she has the money to hire someone else. I will be happy to be someone's lackey if it means continuing with my trainer and paying off my student loans. Shit.

So I am officially taking job ideas from out there in the ether - send them along with all of your good wishes and prayers because I am going to need them. And for those of you whom I told I did not get the holiday cards - they finally came today in one big lump and your kids are gorgeous. M - P is starting to look so much like you it is scary - especially when she is screaming with pleasure with those pigtails on her head!!! DOn't worry K - you're in there too.

Love, Na-na
