Every time I have gotten on here to update my blog I think, well nothing monumental has really happened. Then I have to remind myself my blog is titled "NO MOMENT" not "NO MILESTONE" therefore admittedly I have some catching up to do! When I read other people's blogs, they are all primarily happy and sunshine items. I have decided to post both, however I will sum up the bad as they are not worthy of much time per say, and I need to move on. I am going to break up the good things in separate postings. As you all know I left that awful terrible company and they are still proving to be monsters to this day. (IE they have decided not to pay my final check, which is not detrimental, but a nasty character if you ask me.) Over that. Second, I found a great job with a hospital chain here in San Antonio. Everything was in order and I was set to start. Celebrations took place, all the calls to friends and family, and BIG PLANS! I was set to start and received a call the day before I was to start, the job was no longer going to happen. There was a huge miscommunication and the job I had been so looking forward to starting, did not work out. Everybody on the inside tried to continue on the path, but in the end I did not go where I thought I was going. This was devastating to me, all my plans, all my contingencies, and all my sunshine was lost. My outlook crashed. I am 100% sure this is why I was not fond of blogging at that time. Everybody in my life was so caring, and encouraging and it was honestly very very hard for me to see the silver lining in the situation, and I suffered quite a bit for a few weeks. SO, needless to say, "Hello square one, I am Kate, and I desperately did not want to meet you again..."
They say bad luck comes in 3's. For me, it comes in more. The morning of July 29, when I was still with the company we don't speak of, I had taken my car into Nissan as she was having some issues. Without even a formal diagnosis, the blunt mechanic said this little sentence, "Yep, you need a new transmission." Then this sentence, "That will cost you about $4000." I swallowed, let my denial kick in, tried to smile, thanked him for his time, ran out the door. He managed to get in this last little stab, so it felt to me, "When it leaves you, it's gonna leave ya!" I drove back to my then work. 15 minutes after I walked in the door, my AGHEM-HOLE of a boss came into my office picked an incredible fight with me and let me go. Not the best day of my life, but at the same time THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE.
Fast forward, get fantastic job, "loose" fantastic job, and GET REAR ENDED!!!!!!!!!!!! Luckily, it was by the sweetest woman in the world and was not my fault. Everything was pretty standard. Took my sick Nissan to the body shop and had her repaired. I was given a gorgeous rental car, so those two weeks were spared in hind sight. I go to pick my car up on a Friday afternoon. Nathan was in Anaheim CA for work. I made just to the entrance of my neighborhood in traffic. Everybody goes, I step on the gas, it goes to the floor and my heart drops. It left me. On a 50 MPH road I traveled about 8 MPH and thank my lucky stars Maxy the Maxima made it to my driveway. I am sure Nathan was thrilled to get the text. "My car is done."
It is probably better that I have waited a month before blogging as it would have been filled of profanity. Keeping my cool is not my best quality at times....ON TO THE GOOD.
