Sometimes, things just suck...
Today would be a day like that...
After being deceived by a good start to the day, I went to get Kailyn up to find that she had thrown up all over her crib. Ahhh...that's special when that happens. AND, it seems that she had actually thrown up sometime in the middle of the night, which made the whole mess...less fun to clean up, and that also meant she'd probably been crying all night. After checking the status of her baby monitor, we discovered that she had - since my child is now prone to flipping switches on electronic devices - turned off her baby monitor, so we had no way of knowing.
Anyway, after a long bath, a load of laundry, some medication, and a lot of 'consoling,' she seems to be back to normal now. Hope it was just something she ate and not a virus...
On top of this, Stacey's work situation is becoming increasingly snafu'd. If you don't know already, the vacation time and benefits she was initially promised are NOWHERE near what she actually has received, which - MUCH to her extreme disappointment - has set the job-search wheels in motion for her once again.
And today, apparently there were some hot tempers/attitudes on behalf of her co-workers, which only adds insult to injury. Last, but not least, she seems to be the only one anyone's coming down on through all of this. I don't know what any of you out there would do, but it seems to me that Stacey has been more than patient with the wait it took her to finally start this job and with the crap that has happened since she found out about her vacation/benefit snafus.
Sure, in her field, finding another job is easy. But the really tough part about that at this time, is he pregnancy and getting maternity leave and benefits. In short, she just may be stuck a while (while some re-negotiations are in progress about the vacation/benefit thing).
I hate it when a dream job turns into a nightmare. Been there/done that. Haven't we all?
She doesn't want to make any rash decisions about all this, either. And in the meantime, since she may be stuck there, pray that she can make the best of it and that the things she's praying for/hoping for work out... If they would only give her what they told her she would get, she'd be happy... IMO, that IS their responsibility at this point...
Here's to hoping the rest of the day involves less suckage.
