A Little Birdie Told Me

Photobucket

Ah, sweet Spring... the little birdies are chirping their cheerful songs at my window... Why must the weekend be so short?!

******

I was working so fast from Monday through Thursday that when Friday finally showed up, I was completely exhausted. I felt dehydrated and so tired and sleepy... It was hard to concentrate. I lost count at how many cases I am trying to complete at the same time... I am just grabbing them as people call and send in their documents and forms... I continue to waste a lot of time on the cases of the two kids who have been there since December, but I don't know why their Sponsors are waiting until the last minute to turn everything in... I wish they would hurry up, because it breaks my heart to watch them watch all the other kids leave... All in all, I turned in three cases for approval but it took them a whole week to approve the first one. Unfortunately, she sent an email to my coworkers to say that it was approved, but she didn't put my email address on the email and it was my case! And of course, my coworkers failed to tell me that my case was approved. Grrr... So the next one was approved also, but I am still waiting on the third one...

Since my coworkers spend a lot of time talking to each other and Betty Crocker spends a lot of time talking to her husband on the phone, I was looking at the new form that lists what we are doing with our cases. The form travels from each worker to complete her part and then it goes to the next worker, etc, until the form is complete. In the middle of the month, the Eye said we have only had five reunifications this month. Last week, I submitted three cases for approval but the people who approve them took so long that I know I will not be able to have any Family Reunifications by Monday (which is the last day of the month), because I am waiting for money for airfare... Looking at the notes on last week's form, it looks as if neither one of my coworkers have Reunifications in the works. The cases they have require little or no work whatsoever except to wait for court... Betty Crocker, as usual, writes all this stuff on her notes and then ends it by saying that she doesn't have a fax number to send the forms to the families. LOL ... And so, in April, I plan to storm through my cases as quickly as possible to show The Eye that I am a valuable employee, no matter who gets jealous or what! LOL @ phooey to Betty Crocker and Spelling Bee and their stupid PMS!

Birds In The Snow

LOL @ Jimmy's comment about my tags being so saucy that he plans to write to Santa himself! As you can see, I took a turn on this tag... a reminder that just as God takes care of the little birds, he will continue to take care of us...

I woke up at 7:00 a.m. this morning, which is the time that I have to leave to work to be at work by 8:00 a.m... I put my makeup on so fast, got dressed so fast, and flew faster than my Guardian angels could fly! To my surprise, I got into the building at 8:01 a.m., not knowing how bad or how good I looked! LOL...

@->----

I am pretty caught up on my cases, so I am a bit frustrated, because I wish they were moving a bit faster, but what is left to do is out of my control... We had our weekly staffing today, which took a big chunk of the morning... In the afternoon, I had to investigate the case of the boy who urinated on the arm of one of my kids... I only saw five kids today because three of them went to court, so I have to see them tomorrow. I am ok with that, because it will help me to look busy. LOL... My boss continues to keep a serious face. That continues to worry me... I still have to pinch myself about having a job... I hope the rug is not pulled out from under me...

@->----

The girls continue to stay within their own little click... They were a bit anxious today because they had to see the kids they didn't see yesterday and the kids they were scheduled to see today... so they were on the phone most of the day... I was able to make my phone calls when they were out at lunch time...

As for my rent, I have to pay late fees for each day that I am late so that's 12 days of late fees. It would have probably been cheaper to make a hot check. I do not know how much I will be paid, but I must believe that God will provide... Gasoline is at $1.49 in the town where I work and it is $1.45 in the town where I live. Too bad I had to gas up where I work. LOL @ it happens...

P.S... It's awfully windy outside right now. I wonder if that means it is going to be cold tomorrow...
