So much for the thought that menopause was on the way

[missdiane]

My low back pain last night was awful and I had pain on the left flank that made me wonder if kidneys were involved. Found out soon, nope. Just freaking hormones back to monthly and back to all kinds of pain, nausea, bloating, the works. I'd thought for a while that things were starting to space themselves out and get less frequent. Couldn't get that lucky, I guess.

I'm taking a partial sick day today since sitting up for long is rough. But it's "partial" because just yesterday I registered for a series of online classes and I don't want to miss the first one that's at 10am this morning. I especially do not want to miss it because...heh...it's classes to learn about the process of the job that I just interviewed for. The one today is titled "all things set up" which would BE the job that I would get so I can't possibly miss THAT!

Doubly amusing that my current Bosslady gets copied when I register for these University classes. Not that she'd have any clue why I'm taking these. I mean golly gosh, it's just professional development. Improving my current job skills and all...right?

I was lucky, when I was 36 I had to have stuff yanked out so one month I had a looong and painful period and the next month I was recovering from surgery. I never used that stuff for anything anyway. I'm sorry you are having problems though and wish I could say something that would be of value. Those classes sound like a great idea, I'm sure you'll get to use what is taught and hey, maybe you'll be able to forget about the pain while you're learning. I hope.

I've had no use for the pesky parts either. I hope the activity starts to reverse course and go away since I'm 53 now and just SO DONE with it all.

I'm hoping that there's enough people in the online class that I can discreetly leave my camera off since I'm sure I look like death warmed over. Though from the job description, I suspect if I got the job, I might eventually be teaching the class so yeah, VERY important that I attend today (and the next uh...five, six? weekly classes)

This is the job that I applied for

And this was the bit that I think references training others outside their unit "Works closely with RSP to create, and continuously present trainings for award setup and award recognition values in Oracle."

oh my that sounds important and dare I say so, FUN? And of course a chance to be out from under your current BossLady would be one of the best parts!

It'll be nice nerdy data-heavy work. Just my thing.
