my math

Will someone do my math for me?

I'm taking a class pass fail.

I've received these grades at these percentages of my grade:
EBP skills (20%)- 16/20
Lit Review (40%)- 37/40
Measuring Intervention Implementation and Outcomes (10%)- 8/10


My final is worth 30%. Do I have to turn in anything of worth?

they hate us

I've been trying not to post a lot about my situation at work because I don't really know how corporate feels about you bashing your manager on a "public" site.

However, I do know that my manager is terrible, and that no one seems to care. I thought our district manager did, because I know that she knows that he is terrible. I think someone even with half of my manager's brain (which is saying a lot, because his brain really doesn't function) would be able to know that he is terrible. Just drink some grounds in your coffee or notice the look of death on our faces if he is anywhere near.

We had a meeting last night that we were all hopeful about. I brought a few things up and each time I had to defend myself. I guess I get that, she doesn't know me from anyone else. However- I'm not the one lying all the time. I'm not the one that has terrible work ethic. I'm not the one that consistently shows up late. I'm not the one that every single person in the store is calling to complain about. I'm not the one that our customers look in the window and walk away when they see.

Nope. That would be our manajerk, who apparently gets to keep getting paid for making our store worse.

I would have told you that this company really cares about its partners, because that is what they say. That is what the reports say.

I don't feel that anymore.

again with the glasses

For all five days that I was waiting for the glasses I was VERY concerned that I would look like this in ALL of my pictures because I didn't remember asking about/paying for Crizal lenses.



I think it turned out okay. Again, why do I spend so much time worrying about crazy things??

my eyes

My eyes hurt for some reason (particularly my right one). Pick your favorite/best guess as to why.

1. I'm tired.
2. I want an excuse to take a nap and stop reading/doing homework.
3. I got one of the many cleaning products I used to clean the bathrooms this morning in it on accident.
4. I didn't really drink coffee today and my eyes are lazy and used to having caffeine to help them stay open.

new glasses




Yesterday was shower day and today is homework day (which I'm clearly working on diligently), so I'm not looking my best in the shots from today.

But these are my new glasses!!



I received my first pair of glasses when I was in the 2nd grade. I was a novelty because I was the only one. My friends held their fingers up across the room to see if I could tell how many they had. I informed them smugly that I "wasn't blind." There is now now way I could even tell WHO was standing at the end of the room much less if they HAD fingers.

Anyway, in fifth grade I got contacts and have since that day mostly only worn my glasses to bed.

Until now. I'm going to try to wear these every day. So far? Fine (I got them yesterday). I'm worried about the months in the summer when the sun is out and I want to wear sunglasses. These aren't transition lenses and the flip ups aren't going to do it for me either.

P.S. I love my eyedoctor people.

renewed love

I don't want to ruin the surprise but you should go to a Starbucks tomorrow and buy yourself something to drink (A TREAT, that drink you feel have to talk yourself into or find an excuse to buy. I told you you had to go- so you have to go).

Then look at your cup.

I've lost some of my faith in this corporation I work for. I have loved my job the entire time, but some things have made it a little tougher and we've felt a bit stranded by the higher-ups for quite some time now.

But the cups!!

Love. Love for Starbucks. Which reminds me that my Starbucks card is out of money again. Which may tell you how addicted I am... considering when I'm working my drinks are free and I usually work least 3 times a week. Whoops.

flies

I have in my possession:

Plane Tickets.

They're going to take me places that I am very excited to go. With my friend Amie whom I am very excited to travel with.
