The Nine of Diamonds

The Nine of Diamonds is often associated with financial losses of one kind or another but its true meaning is that of a completion in regards to some values that we have been holding. For this reason, it could be an indicator of the ending of a certain kind of work that you have been doing for a long time, or the ending of a certain pursuit. This could be the pursuit of some financial goal, some relationship, or some other 'thing' that is valued.

When money does seem to be lost under the Nine of Diamonds, keep in mind that this is just the preparation for a new cycle of incoming money. Sometimes we need to spend some money to stimulate more to come in.

Now this is interesting... add this little gem to the fact the the assistant director of nursing called me yesterday to ask me about an order I'd transcribed, which I'd apparently done incorrectly. As it turns out, not a major thing, as far as any harm goes, but a mistake nonetheless.

So, today when I wake up, there's a message on the machine from the director of nursing, wanting me to call her. Now, keeping in mind that she doesn't call people for just anything, and that the only other time I've been written up (for not clocking out for lunch... anyone who's ever worked with me has heard THAT soapbox speech), they didn't bother to call me at home, but just gave me the paperwork next time I was in there.............

Who knows, I might get fired today. Which would, incidentally, make it easier to have my anniversary off.

Seriously, though, I've been thinking about applying another place, and there are certainly many many nursing jobs to be had out there. Also, I said I wouldn't leave the place I'm at (which is arguably the worst health-care facility I've ever worked at, but it pays well) until this one particular patient was gone, 'cause she was my favorite, and I've become very close to her and her family. And, she gets discharged tomorrow. I'm supposed to work tomorrow. Not sure if that will happen now or not. They might keep me around just to avoid having to find someone else to do it, or they might not. The DON probably doesn't know I'm scheduled tomorrow, since I normally only work Friday/Saturday/Sunday. Apparently, for whatever reason, the state was in yesterday, and they were the ones that found the error. In cases like that, usually the person is gone, no ifs, ands, or buts. Mariner's not the most forgiving place to work, and they fire people for ridiculous reasons with little regard for the good things they've done, or the bind it puts the rest of the staff in, when we're already short. I've seen it happen to many people there. None of us have the illusion that we're immune to it.

And actually, strangely enough, considering our financial situation, I'm pretty OK with this.

Weird.

The ceiling fan hmmm.. When im at work it is the AC unit. I enjoyed out little talk earlier. I hope what we talked about caused some interesting reactions. I get the feeling that they did. Dont forget what I said EAT something. I know I said healthy but if you dont get a chance to eat healthy at least eat something. I am going ont he 4th week of my diet. I have finished Phase 1 not onto phase 2 of the diet. Of course phase two is almost like phase 1. Still no meat but now I have to cut down on my cursing. (Hmm i guess I have to drive less then) DONT THINK SO.

Not What I'd Worry About

I'd worry more about your "record" so to speak. While it sucks to get fired for honest mistakes, I wouldn't be so casual about it. Employers look at your work history and if its fragmented or chock full of "I got fired because..." reasons, even if they're trumped up, they'll think badly of it.

There's only so many times they'll chalk it up to coincidence, y'know?

Yikes, maybe not sounding so good, but if you're wanting out, maybe that's one way to get out. Lots of luck! Let us know how it goes!
