I might be going crazy...
All weekend I had anxiety about going back to work today. What was going to happen? What was it going to be like. At 630am right after Ben left for week I started making calls and sending emails to see what today would entail for me. Around 830am I received a call from Workforce Management they do all of our schedules and things like that. They said to just come in today plan on working my normal schedule and they will get everything else straightened out. I went in at 1130am my regular schedule would have started at noon. I went in and talked to workforce to figure out my login, seat assignment, breaks and lunches and so on. As I'm walking out my manager who I had when I was in the call center said that his manager wanted to speak to us. So we went in his office and he told me I had been terminated and would need to reapply if I wanted to work in the call center. They took my badge and headset and I drove home. What the crap? Am I missing something? So ANGRY right now. Do I want to reapply? Are the benefits really worth it. This is so frusterating.

It's not a huge deal or anything but it kind of is to me. I'm just upset. So I have been loving the new department I was training for at 1800Contacts. I felt like I really understood the material and I got 100% on the first test we took on Tuesday. Yesterday, we took another test and I got 72% the first time and then 76% the second time. You had to get 82%. So I am no longer going to that department. The worst part is the trainer had to make a call to see if I left with good terms in the call center and if not I would have lost my job. I'm so ANGRY! At myself at the company. GRR... I don't want to keep changing jobs but now its kind of embarrassing/humbling to have to back to the call center. Not only that but I'm not the best sales person. It's rough. I love the benefits of the company though I get so much from them. It just really popped my bubble for this to happen. BUT...at least I still have a job right? I just feel some days like I start getting caught up with life and then I get thrown a curve ball but I guess thats life. Sorry this post is so negative I'm just bummed.

My mom is amazing! She is one of my best friends! I love it when we start giggling about who knows what. It's terrible because we cannot STOP! She has taught me so much and I hope I can be half the woman and mother she is.

Race for the Cure
We had the opportunity to be a part of the Race For The Cure this morning. 1800contacts actually paid for mine and Ben's registration. My family (Mom,Dad,Morgan, and Spencer) were also there. My sis in law's aunt is fighting breast cancer right now and so we were there in support of her and all others who are fighting this tough battle! It was a great way to start the morning with friends and family and it was a beautiful morning to top it off!

What the heck are you guys doing now?
We put our names in the St. George Marathon lottery today! We find out on May 14th. I really hope we get it!
Ben starts a new job tomorrow with Staker Parson working in the lab testing concrete and Asphalt. We are saying his job title is "scientist".
I am taking a second test tomorrow to see if I am able to transfer to another department that is not sales based but productivity based.
We are crazy busy, loving life, our new truck, stressed at times but it's all good.

Court Date
It was the big day today. The day that I have been nervous and sometimes unable to sleep because of. My letter told me to be there at 1:30pm. I went to the District Attorneys office and waited to speak with my attorney. While waiting to speak with him he was talking to a lady sitting close by. We (My dad, Ben, and I) heard her saying her soon to be ex which she has a restraining order against because he was abusive keeps driving past her house and she is in fear of her and her kids' life. Then the attorney comes over and asks me if I have any questions and tells us he will meet us over at the court house. So we go over to the court house and meet Ben's mom there and lo and behold who's sitting there on the bench Mr. Krazy who hit me. Also, we find out the lady who is in fear of her life is Mr. Krazy's soon to be ex wife! INSANE!!! We head into the courtroom to wait for our case and it was pretty interesting because we were able to watch 2 other court cases. My attorney comes over to me and asks to speak to me. He takes me into another room and asks me if Mr. Krazy's injuries when I was taking care of him were life threatening. I said I wasn't sure but I didn't think so. Then he asks me what would have happened if he would have pulled his IV's out that day. Then we go into the courtroom. I forgot to mention this was all for a preliminary hearing. Anyways, so first they get to the ex-wifes case and somehow the decide without her even testifying to push out the hearing until June? I kind of got lost so I'm not exactly sure how that happened. Then they get to my case and they start talking all this legal junk and next thing I know they are saying they think it can be settled without the hearing and the judge says "Have you asked the witness (ME!)" if this is ok?" My attorney says no and they judge hesitates and then approves it. So then the attorney comes over to talk to me and says that the charges I pressed were for a Class A Misdeamor but because Mr. Krazy was possibly not in an "Emergency Situation" and his life was not threatened that it's probably just a Class B misdeamor which obviously isn't as severe. I was honestly upset about this decision for a few reasons... 1) Mr. Krazy has now bought himself another 30 some odd days to do whatever he wants/can to his poor ex-wife. 2) IHC has not backed me up at all with any of this. 3) It has affected my life in more ways than one and I was just doing my job that day.
