So had to take DD12 in for her well visit today and to get her shots. Since this round of vaccinations is for 11-12 year olds, I let her wait until she was 12. I didn't tell her when her appointment was b/c she is soooooo afraid of shots, she would have been worrying and dreading and just working herself up into a tizzy. I just picked her up from school and took her.

So, I had myself all geared up for a fight with the doctor over declining the Gardisal shot. I just want to wait a little longer - I'm thinking 14. And guess what? No fight at all. Doctor agreed with me. But told me not to tell anyone she agreed with me. LOL.
So DD;s app't is in two weeks, what did your doc say about the age appropriate thing? I need arguments/facts since DDs doc is in Ma, the worst state in the country for telling parents they know best and backed by the gov't. Or I should say, MA tells the doc's and gives special funding based on how many give the shot in the State's suggested timeline.

She said it's the parents' decision, and that the decision about WHEN can also depend on the child. I told her I want a year or more two for more studies and results. I HAD a whole argument set to go, but she just didn't fight me at all, so I didn't get to use it. Just sound firm and knowledgeable, like you've studied up on it and are making an informed decision.

My day was rough. Seems to be the norm these days.

Mine too. Had two job interviews this afternoon. One was for my dream job which was offered on the spot (yay!!!) and then immediately - but hopefully temporarily - rescinded due to a conflict of interest. Hopefully that is resolved, but I was supposed to hear by the end of day and didn't. It's heartbreaking that I might not get this job for such a stupid reason.

The second interview was a challenge. I don't have much of the particular skill set they are looking for but have a very strong complimentary skill set. My knowledge of methadone assessments and schizophrenia treatment is lacking for sure - I have very little experience with those populations. But they knew that before they did this second interview adn they spent nearly two hours with me anyways. So I'm thinking I must be in the running regardless. They spent the final 10 minutes asking about when I could start . . . so that was a little strange. It was a tough interview. Also an agency with a very different treatment philosophy than mine. Very old school. I want the job because it would get me out of my current job, but I also don't really think it would be great fit. Maybe just a temporary move until something more appropriate comes along.

*sigh* didn't go to work today. Sick and tired of them. Decided it warranted a sick call. Either that or get fired for punching a boss. Better to call in sick.

I finally arrived, nearly two hours late. Got all checked in (with only a slight issue of not being able to find my reservation) and then I took myself out for a nice dinner.

Not to toot my own horn or anything, but my life pretty much rocks right now.

I hope you find something you will be happy at tig. Life is to short to be unhappy. I've worked at a job where I dreaded going every morning. Don't give up.

I'm sorry Tig. I hope the rest of your week is better.

I will find something better. It has been better before and it will be better again. I know that better is out there - which is what makes this so frustrating. I know what it is like to go to work every day looking forward to it and enjoying it.

Tig,

You are an amazing person. You deserve an employer who appreciates you.
