YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!

So is it wrong that I am totally cracking up over th fact that I know that a program is going to fail. A little while ago I was offered a job running a new autism program. I'm not looking for a job since I actually like my job but you always need to keep your options open. The thing is that I would have left my job for this postion. It's on the way to being my dream job. My dream job is to open up my own program to help kids with autism become more independent and socialize. This job would have been opening, running, expanding and being the face of a new program. A step below my dream job. I was offered the job and I would have taken it but the pay SERIOUSLY SUCKED!!! I would have been making the same amount I'm making now (which still sucks) but I would have been doing a hell of a lot more work than I'm doing now because it's a job I would have become obsessive about. I would have really had a cut in pay cause I'm doing for a raise in December and I wouldn't have had time to work my part-time job. Sadly, very sadly actually, I had to turn it down. I just couldn't afford to do it. Besides they weren't even offering anywhere near what the job is worth.
I've come to realize that I'm bitter about the whole thing but who cares? They are so going to be screwed. The person they hired has NO real autism experience and NO ability to run the program. I know who she is. Plus, I saw an add that the company put out looking for a part-time person with experience with autism and behaviors. So, basically they hired her and they're hiring a part-time person when they could have taken that money they are going to pay the part-time person and PAY ME who would have had all that experience. You don't need a behavior person for this program if you have someone with experience. You need a once a year hiring of someone to certify staff in behavioral intervention.
I KNOW THIS IS HORRIBLE TO SAY BUT THE PROGRAM IS SOOO GOING TO SUCK AND IT'S ALL THEIR FAULT. I COULD HAVE MADE THIS PROGRAM A HUGE SUCCESS THAT OTHER PROVIDERS WOULD WANT TO EMULATE BUT YOU WERE TOO DAMM CHEAP TO PAY ME. SO GUESS WHAT.......YOU SOOOOO HAVE GOTTEN WHAT YOU PAID FOR!!!!!!!!

LET'S PLAY FAMILY FEUD

Why is it when you argue with one member of your family, the whole clan needs to get involved? Family members really need to mind their own business.
The story is that my mother came down this weekend and we ended up getting in a huge fight. We haven't spoken since Sunday night when we ended up having another argument over the phone. Now my whole family is continously calling, telling me that I should be the bigger person and call her despite the fact that my mother is completely in the wrong. Why do I have to be the bigger person? She's the mother shouldn't she be the bigger person. I'm mad....I refuse to budge. So now it's time to play family feud where the whole family feels the need to get involved despite me telling them that they need to mind their own business. Got to love family!!!

THE PARTY PLANNER.....A,K,A, THE BIG SUCKER

How do I get myself into these things? i really need to learn to say no and not got caught up into things at the moment. What did I get suckered into this time you ask? This Friday I, cosmopolgirl, am hosting a Pampered Chef party at my house. What the heck was I thinking? Invitations have been sent out so there is no getting out of it. Especially because people don't know what the initials RSVP means. For those of you out there in the dark, let me help you out...RSVP stands for PICK UP THE DAMM PHONE AND CALL TO LET SOMEONE KNOW EITHER WAY IF YOU ARE GOING TO THEIR DAMM PARTY!! So basically I've invited 25 people and have heard from about 10. The party is at around 6pm so I have to serve food. Unfortunately who knows how much food I have to serve. What a damm pain! I do not like entertaining at my house. I do not like my house. If I had a nice house I may like entertaining but I don't. It's cosmetically falling apart but people are coming Friday night. How the heck do I get myself into these things??


CAN WE SAY SUCKER!!
