Aug. 2nd, 2007 09:57 pm Well, I haven't posted in a couple of weeks, and so much has happened since then. I went to the funeral for Jackie, which was an experience. We have been doing interviews for both open positions that we now have. We did one interview right after the funeral, and the person was just like Jackie had been, in personality, in mannerism, in professionalism... We have offered that person one of the positions. We are still questing for the other position. I have a friend who has applied for the position, and I was somewhat conflicted about that. I want to hire her, badly. I don't want to interview anyone else, and I just want o give her the job. I know that she is the best candidate, though. That's a large part of why I want to hire her. She is an amazing counselor with wonderful and varied experience. She has a positive outlook and would be a breath of fresh air. Now we just have to go through the HR crap before we can interview her.
I have been trying to do two jobs at work which tends to leave me a mite run down. My secretary's husband is recovering nicely from his heart attack, but she has been taking care of him. She came into work for a couple of days while he was in a rehab center. He has now come home, as of today, and will be able to complete his rehab in a day treatment facility. She has been holding up pretty well, but I figured that she didn't need to come back to an office of stacks of files, mail, papers... That's why I have been trying to clean up and do part of her job as well as mine. However, that means that I have been working 12-14 hours daily. The only thing that has really kept me going is hanging/talking with friends.![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
sassywitch has been my godsend, as always, by just chatting and giving encouragement. Oh, and fabulous fic to read as well. I have also enjoyed chatting with her lovely house guest. They have kept me amused and kept me going for the last week or so.
I have been so busy and crazy that I have gained lots of bad habits, including eating way too much fast food, drinking way too much soda, and having way too little activity. I am trying to rectify that now. I am starting by drinking more water. I am also trying to eat better, but it will be hard over the next couple of days because I have friends coming to visit from out of town and I will be at a two day workshop where I have no control of the food.
On the plus side, I have treated myself to a bacial (facial for your back). It is heavenly. I am nice and relaxed and I smell like mangoes and lavender. My skin feels like silk too. While I was on the table, I fell asleep because I was so relaxed. The person that I see for my treatments let me sleep while she cleaned up. I was her last client, so she went about cleaning up and closing up while I slept. When she was finished, she rubbed me down with a cooling gel to help me wake up, fed me some tea and talked with me until I was coherent enough to leave. She is just so cool like that.
I am enjoying my evening because I took the day off tomorrow. I have to clean house and get ready for my friends who will be here on Sunday. I have so much to do before I am ready to have guests. So much to do, which is why I am relaxing tonight.
