Feeling Worse Now

My head feels heavy, my sore throat turned into a cough with runny nose & I get giddy on & off. I feel even worse than before. I think it sucks. I took another 2 days of MC. I think I'll surely be questioned when I go back to work on Mon. I think I don't need to expect good appraisal next year.

Jeff told me just this morning that he was asked by his ADON (Asst. Director of Nursing) to get a Bachelor's degree as he wanted to send Jeff for Master's in 2011. He can't go for the sponsored Master's unless he has a Bachelor's & if he missed the sponsorship for 2011, he has to wait another 2 years. At the same time, he'll need to do his Advanced Diploma next year. He's being groomed to be an APN (Advance Practice Nurse) which is on par with ADON rank wise & APN can prescribe certain medications like a Dr.

I'm happy for him becoz I know I won't be the 1 to climb high in career. I simply don't have the desire to do so. I like caring for my dogs more than I like working as a nurse. So I guess you can say I'm in the wrong line. But I'm not cut out for dog grooming or training & neither am I for doggy business. So dog related things will always be only a hobby for me. I'm the traditional oba-san. Haha.

If he really does become an APN, I'll probably quit my job & do part time. By then, I'll probably have children of our own & the extra time will grant me more time with the dogs & kids. If he doesn't, then we'll just have to continue as we are now. But I have faith in him. He's such a good nurse & he's naturally like that. He's my complete opposite.
