Frustrated workers in France have taken matters in thier own hands. Fed up with working conditions, not being heard and the number of layoffs, employees at a 3M plant decided to take thier manager hostage. While reading this article I was surprised to learn that this type of thing happens somewhat often. Maybe U.S. companies should stand up and take notice!
I had a phenominal CNA teacher. She truley wanted to make sure we had a full veiw of elderly people. The good, the bad, the dirty...and the hillarious. One of the easiest assignments (and by far the most fun) was looking up this youtube vid. (TIP: Put all drinks down when watcing)
I have been wanting to blog for weeks now, but every time I sit at my computer my mind goes blank. Every thought I had, every post idea, every humorous quip....gone. Vanished.
Where to begin is the problem. So much has happened, and trying to sort through the boring, the uninmportant, and the things I should share is the hardest part.
I am not sure how much I said before or where I left of in my little life saga that began last summer, so I am just going to do a quickish recap and go from there.
Last year Prince Charming and I seperated. It was a horridly difficult thing to do after 12 years of being togeather. It was the first time in my entire life I had to find a way to stand on my own two feet. I continued to waitress but soon realized that wasn't going to cut it. The economy was taking a toll on the resturant industry and the money wasn't there anymore.
I finally made the decision to go back to school and take classes to become a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). I began classes in September, took the fast track and was done in 8 weeks. Three weeks before I finished classes I was hired at a local nursing home, where I am working now.
Prince Charming and I remained seperated through the year, but as it turns out, we were very bad at it. He was still staying here with me at least half of the week, we texted or talked constantly, and after much soul searching, growth and reinvention of our relationship I asked him to come home on Christmas day :-D I am in love with him more than ever and finally I feel happy, content and like my life is back on track.
So there are the basic highlights of where I have been the past 6 months or so. I will post soon about the journey back to school and some of the things I have learned at my current job. It's shocking how one can unlock little secrets in life when working with the elderly.
For instance, I discovered why women in the 60+ age group used Aqua Net hairspray thier entire lives and have doomed us to death from a hole in our ozone for thier love of this product. But that's for another day and another post.
Okay, so it's not exactly midnight. It's actually 12:12.
Why does that make a difference?
Umm, it doesn't. Duh!
I decided to check out a few of my fav. bloggers (whom I have missed horribly) and the urge to give into my urge of the past few days became to great.
A LOT of stuff has happened since I've been here last (including the loss of my domain where all my bloggity pretties were housed..thus the generic layout). There's just to much to go into seeing I can barely keep my eyes open, and yet still felt the need to type something, anything.
I hope this finds you all well & happy :-)
I will post soon on some of the new developments in my little boring life, and (hopefully) you will be entertained with some of the new stories I have for you.

Meet Scarlet, my new Blackberry Pearl 8130. After 4 years of suffering through life with a basic boring ugly dysfunctional phone... I was thrilled to receive this upgrade. One of the selling points was that my new pearl could be used as a modem for my computer. Actually, that was what made me choose it over the Palm Centro. Anything to get me back into the blogging world!
I have had her for 2.5 weeks now and three times I found that I was not receiving my text messages. Other days my call log just vanished..poof..into thin air. I knew I had a missed call, but had no idea who it was and no way to find out. The help inside the phone...is anything but. The booklet sprint gave me to go with my phone might as well be called 'the dumb book about blackberry.' I had to google my phone just to figure out why the special ring tones I set were not actually the ringtone that rang (and honestly, I still don't get it). Trying to figure out how to reset it or do anything on it is just plain hair raising and the last two days the internet has been spotty at best (thus the two days of no blogs).
The Palm Centro had originally been my first choice but I wanted the modem capability of the Pearl. Of course, now I know that the Centro can do the exact same. Another plus is that it is a touch screen, has a lot of applications..for a LOT cheaper than blackberry devices, and also the webpages come up nicer.
