Down with the sickness!

Lookout! :P

Have been down with the sickness… sinus and cold, mind you! The stupid sands from Sahara and the volcanic dust are disintegrating the immune system and the lungs of thousands within the isle! If that is what the cloud is… Somehow something that has never been mentioned until a few years back sounds fishy. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the clouds were in fact an outcome of a government experiment or something, like the shaft dust that helped increase cancer decades ago… Seems that our people have short time memory, or longtime memory loss… You be the judge…

So… Been with an ugly sinus-cold-flu-whatever thinguie. This has been a longaleer week… Couldn’t go to the capital on Monday because the driver never appeared… Went to Caguas on Tuesday and luckily, one of the people I was to meet was who used to be my supervisor a year ago, and she updated me in the whereabouts of the department… Ugh! So many things, I know Betsy must be having a ball up in heaven laughing at everything going on to the people who deserve the lovely taste of karma.

Anyway… Got a call from LightShadow’s contact and he found the complete back door for Ravy in $800 including IVU. Wheeee! So, must wait for it to arrive from Florida, and he will paint and fix the car’s damage. Seems his work will be a matter of $200. Not bad at all! And the guy surprised me with actually being responsible. Thanks, LS! Once again you saved the day! :P

Yesterday I wrote a letter to the director of the region, explaining my need to move from the department to another because I do have an MBA and I need to grow professionally. That’s letter #1. Will Follow some advice and do no talking, just black and white letters. When I have written #3, and if nothing has happened, then I should go to the Union to make things happen. If I must stay within this agency for at least 4 more years (so the mage finishes his BA and I do a Master in Social Work or a Labor Relations PhD), then I must really exhaust myself searching for ways to gain experience supervising… It is all I need to get a juicy job anywhere else.

Yes, I’m still with the dilemma of which road to take: PhD Labor Relations or MS Social Work… I seem inclined to the Social Work thinguie because it involves helping others, a vocation that I enjoy much, and it is a different thing from business… Plus the university offering it is 5 minutes from work. Then I think a PhD will allow me to be a professor at any university, earn easy money with enough time to spare for family and quality of life… The bad think is the university is 30 minutes from work, if there is no car jam… So… I still have not decided… I need to. For the Social Work thinguie I need to take some prerequisite courses and that should be done in summer if I’m getting in that program… I don’t know yet.

And so, it’s Thursday. I feel like crap. I want a comfy bed and lots of goth music, and at least 48 hours of sound sleep. Is that too much to ask?
