Backstabbing Blues

I haven't published since my last post because I've been pretty down on life. I didn't get the job at TMC. The person I thought was my friend stole it from me and stabbed me in the back. I don't even want to talk to a soul in the Radiology Dept still. They called me the day after my interview and told me they chose him, even told me his first and last name! I cried my eyes out that whole night. To not get a job in a hospital where you have worked your butt off for 4 years is like a huge slap in the face. It's been two weeks and I'm still extremely hurt. I honestly believe that if my own hospital won't hire me, no one will. Out of all the times that I helped the Radiology department at work when I was suppose to be doing secretary work, and they do this to me. I've done portables when they were slammed in the ER just so they wouldn't get in trouble for not doing stats. After all this though, I refuse to help them, even if I have nothing to do. If they don't want me and the hard work I do, then they won't get it for free like I have been doing. I know where I'm not wanted. I told the House Supervisor on Friday that I really wanted to stay with this hospital but it's as if people just don't want me here. He said that he certainly wants me here and that he thinks I would do great in the Radiology Department.

On a similar note, I've been thinking about that situation a lot tonight while studying Social Problems. I'm on the chapter of Gender Inequality. It makes me wonder if he was chosen over me for the promotion because of gender. I only think this because a male is the one who was doing the hiring and over the phone he said I did nothing wrong at all. Um, ok.. thanks for making that clear. Taking this class has opened my eyes to a lot of issues that I never really cared about.

 Okay, let's get off that subject. It's still really touchy and I'm very open about it but enough. Today was Nikki & Doyle's wedding shower. Last night Everett and I stayed up really late working on their gifts for hours. I'm really proud of our work! Here is how one of them turned out!

We had a great turnout at the shower. Danielle did great on the cake, Tammi was a great help at setting up and doing punch, and Cheryl did a wonderful job on the games! Nikki & Doyle got so many great gifts and there were a lot of laughs! Now we just need to plan the bachelorette party!

Next Monday is Nikki's bridal portraits. I can't wait! We are going to use a new spot to me, Las Colinas. She looks amazing in her dress. I can't wait to do some great photos of her! I feel extra confident today in my photography after a few people came up to me during the shower and said, "so you're the one who did the great photography of Nikki & Doyle" :D
