Lunch 06.30.09
Tiste and I had lunch a la Gourmet Gang. I didn't eat all of my sandwich so it's in the fridge for tomorrow.
Good company, Bad news about school.

...Bumper Cars...
Tiste is having lunch with me today. Apparently, the person at the school ASSUMED there was a Medical Coding and Billing class starting in September but she didn't check... until Tiste went to register today. The classes don't actually start until February. It's back to the drawing board now.
He's trying to remain calm and put his anger management to use. I am too.
I told Tiste that I feel like I'm in a bumper car and that the steering wheel doesn't work. He laughed and said that he feels like he's on the dizzy teacup rides that turned into a rollercoaster.
*sigh*

...Tiste, Update...
Tiste talked to the counselors today. The results of his testing were (among other things) physician, lawyer or vet. While those are interesting, database management also came up. We've been talking a lot about medical coding and billing. Tiste has decided to continue with that path and get a job in the field as soon as possible then go back to school for database management while working for an insurance company.
He goes to enroll tomorrow and will hopefully complete the program by March. The school falls only on Saturdays. Therefore, he's decided to apply for unemployment and then attempt to get a job (32 hours a week would allow him so study time). While he could go back to KMart full-time at a new store (where his old store manager is now) he's decided to look for something different. In the meantime, he'll have 26 weeks to get a job and school will still get paid for by the government.
He'll complete the program in March of 2010 and then will start looking at jobs actually in the medical and coding field. I think it would be interesting if he could get a job as a receptionist for a doctor's office -- a step in the right direction if you will.
Anyway, it's been a long day. A co-worker left unexpectedly today and I'm not sure if he's coming back. I've been trying to wrap my brain around that all evening. I called the boss (since he wasn't there when it happened) to just give him a heads up. I did not speak for the co-worker, nor did I make excuses for his actions. Just a nod to the big boss that the winds are blowing from the south. I debated for about an hour before making the call. Thankfully, my friend Ted helped me through decision. I just didn't want to come off like a tattler. Regardless, I think I handled it well but I'm not sure I'm looking forward to work in the morning.
Thanks all who took my phone calls to talk it out!!
Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to the idea/prospect of getting a certificate in project management. I've looked into it more and it's intensive classes (only on Saturdays) and will run me about $3-6k depending on a few factors.
We shall see.

...Summer Time...
Now is able the time I start worrying about spending all my vacation time.
I started kicking some friends and family to get to thinking about getting some face time. I also tried to coordinate a trip to The Farm with Lisa (who would have been coming back from Florida with her nephew), which didn't pan out.
Regardless, I'm looking at...
July 3-5, Road Trip with the Foye's
July 11-13, Road Trip to The Farm and see the 'Rents **TENTATIVE**
July 25-27, Long weekend
Aug. 9-11, Road Trip to see Amanda & Jesse
Aug. 15-18, Road Trip to Cary, NC to see my Bro and Sister-in-Law
Aug. 29-31, Long weekend
Sept. 4-7, Labor Day Weekend
Sept. 18-20, Long weekend
Still to be determined is a trip to New Bern with Lisa and a trip to NoVA with Tiste and Lisa.
Whew.
