superbadgirlThe program manager for my office submitted his resignation after just under two years on the job and NUMEROUS complaints by staff to HR. He is a lovely gentleman, a wonderful person who was wholly unsuited for the position. Two current staff have applied for the job. Neither of them do I think is suited, either, but one is slightly better than the other ... because I would apply for HER job. Her job is to counsel folks on their care options, work with meals on wheels, help people navigate Medicare, and also teach some courses. I really think I could do the job. And I'd get an office out of it so I could shut out the incessant chatter of the cubicle farm. So, my bias is evident. I think she has a better shot at it than the other candidate, who has a history of being confrontational, abrasive and a bit pigheaded. One also wants the job for the job and the other for the money. In my experience, taking a job for the money only isn't a good plan.
So, fingers crossed the "right" candidate gets it. Of course, the position was also opened to external candidates immediately, so it may be neither of them and I remain stuck where I am. There's also another person interested in the job I am, but I feel I am a better candidate for it. She knows how to schmooze, though.
I got another bid for windows which was indeed higher than the first but I got a better vibe. I think it may be worth the cost, but honestly - what do I know? I think $23K for 10 non standard sized windows might be fairly normal. I could try Home Depot, but honestly. I hate HD. and the friend who told me I should do it also said in the next breath how she can feel a draft from the windows HD installed a few years ago. Oy vey.
I keep forgetting to post photos. I have been taking some, but not many. Jan/Feb were extraordinarily busy for me, plus, you know, the sad stuff.
I think today I had an ocular migraine. I don't know, I've never had one. But all of a sudden I kept seeing white floaties in my vision and I couldn't focus at all. It eventually turned into the kind of thing you see when you rub your eyes, some colorful bursts, only not as much as that if that makes sense. It was very disorienting and lasted about half an hour. I did get a headache after that, but not a migraine. Hmmm. I suppose the thing to do is to go to a doc, but say what to diagnose? I want an MRI?
It's like a problem I am having with one fingernail. The nailbed looks totally fine, but as soon at the nail grows past that it splits horribly. It's just ONE nail. All the rest are fine. How would one try to diagnose why THAT is happening. It could be age. Could be low iron. Could be ... who knows!
Oh, and I found Hercules: The Legendary Journeys on Prime. Kevin Sorbo sure lucked out. His acting is like watching a giant sequoia trying to emote.
Anyway, TGIF.
