I know that I have been somewhat missing from cafemom lately.  I have really been having it rough since June. It started with the hospital stay.  Once I got out of the hospital and went back to my job as supposedly HR Director, I found out that I had basically been set up by someone so that her friend could have the job. As I mentioned before, I started that job with piles and piles of employee files all over the office and no experience. That place is so busy that my training was non existent. I did all I could do as far as read online and practically train myself, I was doing a pretty good job until the trouble started. Throughout the day they were constantly pulling me on the floor to help with patients (as if I am trained to do such a thing) I was taking work home every night and over the weekend because I could not get work done during the day. There was constantly a line of CNAs standing at my door needing stuff, I was constantly being paged to the phone and going to meetings. This was horrible. To top it all off, the CNA scheduling and on call phone were dumped on me, NOT FINISHED and in a mess!  I was taking calls 24hours 7 days a week with no help or back and was questioned about why I had overtime. Well, due to all of the stress, I think it made me sick. I ended up in the hospital soon after all of this happened. I was in the hospital a week and had to call into 3 different people everyday because they don't communicate in the same building!! When I got back they had brought in a lady from corporate to catch up my "failing" office. She had no CNA scheduling, she was not bothered throughout the day, she had 3 people helping her, she did not take phone calls overnight, and she worked until midnight every night. So then when I got back, I was asked the question "Why could she get your office caught up in a week when you have been here a month and not caught it up?"  I was like "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?"

They went on that week spoon feeding me my own work. I was giving little task to do here and there but was given the understanding that they would meet with me to discuss my job and what happened and tell me my exact job duties. They kept putting me off and never met with me. Then the administrator came in my office that next week and asked me if I had completed items on a list that I was given. I am like, what??? You mean the list I was given and told that someone would get back to me with what to do with it. Soooo, that day since the "list" was not done, I was asked to resign because they said I could not do the job. WHAT???????  I refused to resign, I told them that I would not resign (I wanted unemployment) so I said you will have to terminate me. So they said that they would. I packed up and left and made them feel stupid.

Well God works in ways you would not believe. I have been praying for a job at a christian hospital here in town. My husband would not let me take the positions that I was offered because they did not pay the same money I was making. I had turned down several positions. I went on another interview with them on that Monday, was fired on that Tuesday and hired with the new job on Thursday. It paid less money but my husband had no problem with me taking it then. LOL. See, I feel that I was meant to be in this new job, I think that God allowed me to go through the storm on this previous job so that I could appreciate the job I have now. If I hadn't lost my job and went through the drama I did, My husband would have never let me take this new job.

Also, aside from the hospital, I have  been dealing with a reaction to my blood pressure medicine and acid reflux. I have had to have several procedures done and gone through a lot of meds in the past month. Lots of sleepless nights from vomitting all the time. Life has been rough. All of this on top of the job stuff, my kids, husband, and trying to go to school! I am finally feeling a little better, still have stomach aches and a headache but the cough is not as bad and I am done to 3 medicines now instead of 5. Please keep me in your prayers. My sweet husband looked at me the other day and said "I am tired of you going to the hospital". He looked so sad.
