Trophy Wife...

I decided yesterday I just want to be a trophy wife...haha you know those wives that stay at home all day making sure not a speck of dust enters their house all the while looking fabulous! No work or school just homemaking! lol too bad I live in the real world! This week has been rediculous! The week before last I made a mistake at work...It was a pretty big mistake, but it was caught before anything major happened! Well Monday my boss called me into her office and was talking to me about the mistake and I thought she was going to give me a warning (since this was the 1st big mistake I have ever made) but no, she was like if we weren't going to be short staffed the next three weeks with Tina gone and you being the only other one who really knows how to do claims, I would be letting you go! I was just like wow...I mean she was really nice and wasn't rude but it's still so stupid! I mean she should have just said we would fire you but we are going to use you instead! She was all like we don't want to fire you, but we realize that we aren't your first priority when you have school and church work also going on. Duh! Sorry I am not going to quit school and youth work to be your full time secretary! She told me I had until Thursday to decide wheather I want to be "committed" to them. I asked what that meant and she was like that we can put way more responsibility on you and you will not be making mistakes and you won't be able to take off so much time for church stuff. Well first let's just clarify that I have made no mistakes since I was first learning my job! I made some then but of course I would I didn't know what I was doing at first! And second I make 7.25 an hour (I used to make 7 but after I begged for a raise in may they had told me I was getting in January) so NO, I am sorry you cannot put anymore responsibility on me. I already do all the filing in the entire office (there are 11 ppl pulling files everyday all day), I am first on the phones, I sort the claims, print the claims, write the checks for the claims, mail it all out (Tina does this too but I am her secretary so I get the grunt work) So needless to say, I have applied for 3 other jobs since Monday. 2 retail jobs and 1 with the city of meridian to be a teacher's assisstant! I am praying so hard that I get the teacher's assisstant job but either of the other 2 will be fine just to get me out of here! It's been so akward ever since because I found out that everyone in the office thought that Denise was firing me Monday, not giving me a second chance. You should've seen the confused looks when I came in on Tuesday! It's just really frustrating how gossipy they all are.
So on a better note Holly and her brother Keith came to see us on Thursday night and stayed until Sunday morning! We had so much fun! Keith has a love interest in Jackson MS which is only an hour away from us so we didn't see much of him, and Cliff was so so so busy at the church so we didn't see much of him haha pretty much me and Holly did our thing the whole time! On Saturday Holly and I went to New Orleans for the day and we had a blast! It was kinda rainy for about an hour but other than that it was perfect! Holly had never been there before so it was cool. I loved having her here even if just for a few days! And I think Cliff had fun getting to talk "student pastor talk" with Keith since they are both Student Pastors haha. We also found the tiniest black kitten ever and we brought him home to live with us (as an outdoor cat) and he stayed for 4 days then he ran away!!! I was so sad becauuse he had a hurt paw and I has neosporen and band-aid on it haha oh well...I tried! He also has a flea collar so that should help him out! He was so sweet though...he wasn't scared of people at all and he loved to be held and cuddled which is weird for a stray cat! I hope he comes back! Well I guess that is about everything! Cliff and I are going to Impact conference in Columbia MS tomorrow and Wayne Francis is preaching Student Impact and we are so excited! Cliff is MCing so he gets to introduce Wayne and that will be funny...he's busting out old school memories from IBC haha ....Another part of being a "Trophy Wife" I don't ever have to ask off for anything and we coulda been up at Impact all week like we really wanted! haha oh well...maybe when I'm 60!!
