Summertime and the living is HARD

long time, no see!!

Let's see, what I thought was going to be a easy breezy summer has turned into a looong hot cruel summer.
I had to get a "real job" as nannying with my new family wasn't working out. In my passive aggressive style, I did not want things to be awkward so I lied about why I was leaving them. I told them I was going to pend the summer at my folks in the country. They area a lovely family, but the hours were too irregular. One week I make 200, the next 400, the next 150.
Need a steady pay check to pay my bills.
As a result, my cards saw some charging.
So it was off to the corporate world, medical billing correction. I hate the corporate world, it kills my spirit but I guess I can put up with it for a year.


I start my last semester of classes this fall. Was supposed to do student teaching in the spring, but have to put it off to fall 2013. You can not work when you student teach. You are in "class" all week, school hours, 7-4 or so...as a result, I need to have my credit cards scrubbed clean AND have enough money saved to pay my half of the bills while I am student teaching....

Back to the Grind

I had it good for two years. I worked as a nanny and was able to take a break from corporate soul sucking office life.
I had figured the nanny gig would last but it didn't and my latest nanny gig has been a drag. Unpredictable days and hours have left a strain on my social life (not that I have one to begin with) my love life and my budget.
So on Monday I start doing what I am good at. Correcting claims and getting them paid. Not the worse job in the world and I know a lot of people don't have jobs or a decent salary. It's just a drag.
I had really hoped I could have avoided cubby land until I was done with my masters and found my first grown up teacher job.
Just got to keep telling myself, this too shall pass, this is temporary, change happens.....
