With a little perserverance you can get things done

Do you know where that title comes from? Off the top of your head, not with a quick google search? There may be a prize involved for the first right answer. My guess at the readers who might know where it comes from and even the following lines? Catwoman and With Love, Fat Girl.

Don't ask me why it came into my head tonight, but it did.

Anyway, it's back to work tomorrow. I am feeling sorry for myself. We are not going to come out ahead with me working, though on paper it will look like it and that is all that matters I suppose. William has been fantastic and has said if I want to quit when he gets his residency then I can do so. The thing is, as much as I bitch I know I won't. I have decided to do the hospital unit clerk program, so as long as I keep my casual status, even if I work once every 6 months, then I still have some sort of seniority and once I finish the program I am almost guaranteed a job within the hospital network. And really, all I want is benefits. I could care less what my dollar earning is. It's not having benefits that kills you. So says the gal paying $7000 for her son's braces. 80% of which would have been covered had I had benefits. So you see it's all about the benefits. And paid sick days. And mental health days. Yeah. Benefits are good.

I was going to post pictures of Taylor's confirmation last night, but I left the camera in my cousin's truck. I went to pick it up today but then I left it in my mum's house. Cause I'm me, you know? My mum's bringing the camera to work (God, that word again!) tomorrow so hopefully I can do it in the evening. I had a bit of rant after they did group shots of each school with the Archbishop (and it was the one who did me. My confirmation that is. You people have such dirty minds.) and one of the mum's sent both her daughter should have been in the picture and an older daughter who should not have been in the picture. I was annoyed because it would have been nice to have a picture of just the Grade 6's. But whatever. I'm a petty, petty person.

Off to bed, since I work in 8 hours. Blah.

Cory Hart? Never Surrender? Because that's the only thing that came to my mind...

Am I right?

And I'm sorry about the going back to work thing... But maybe you'll enjoy the adult interaction! That's the endless positive in me!

Darn. Missed you before you had to go to work. I hope your first day back is great. Hopefully you'll get there and everyone will be thrilled and happy to see you and it won't be so bad.

Sounds like you have plans to go further in your career and I think that's great. I quit work 20 years ago and even though I don't regret a minute of it, I sometimes wonder what the heck I could get back into with this much time passed. Probably pumping gas or something. And you. My nails. I'm thinking of you! Hope it wasn't too painful.

I'm looking forward to seeing Taylors confirmation pictures.

OMG, now I totally have that song in my head - of course Catwoman was right.

Sorry you're back at work!

Beccy said...

Hope the first day back wasn't too bad.

Surprisingly I knew the answer to your question...just w/o the who or technical name but I could sing along for you. :) I don't even mind singing along as it's one I wail quite loudly.

I'm sorry about the going back to work bit. I cannot wait to hear about it. The first day is the worst day. Hopefully you figure out a good answer for it all.

Being a grown up sucks. Making responsible decisions is rotten. Poo poo on that but yeah for you doing it. *hugs*

Enjoy your first day at work - looking forward to read about it. I didn't look forward going back to work after spending 6 months enjoying my time with the baby!

btw, asked mom to get me the protable soccer chair (for you), but it was already sold out. Bummer!

I've been thinking about your "perseverance" line for DAYS and have totally been drawing a blank. While I'm totally flattered you nominated me for knowing, I'm sorry to have disappointed you!!

Good luck with being back at work, though I know you'd rather be home with your kids. Work isnt so bad, really, and nothing beats having your own dollars, earned yourself, to spend. Hang in there,
