Well, after studying for three months, and multiple practice quizzes, I finally took and passed the state insurance exam. The next step in this process is to apply for a license and pay my state fees. I am pretty excited to have this milemarker done! Hopefully if we end up moving again, I won't be out of a job for nearly as long!
In the recent months since starting my new job, I have come to realize that I am a victim of workplace bullying. I have been constantly tripped up, and put down by one person consistantly, but I tend to believe that it isn't just one. I have heard from another co-worker that they consider this "a right of passage" and that it has happened to multiple people. This suggests that something needs to be said to the manager, however, I am concerned about what it will solve. I am certainly afraid that if it is me who steps up and says something, that it will only get worse instead of better. I do believe action needs to be taken, but I have a hard time being the "rat". I am tempted to just quit and go somewhere where the environment is less hostile, but that really wouldn't stop them from doing it to the next person. I am afraid that if i do come forward with this issue that the others will try to prove me wrong, and turn me into the bad guy. I will think over this some more, and see what action I can take.
Spencer got to play with his cousins alot last week, and in turn has picked up on so many more words. We can almost hold a conversation. He can tell me when he is hungry, wants a drink and also when he wants a bottle. (I know the bottle must disappear soon, but I have no idea how to go about doing so). Spencer can even say some of his cousins names! He has started to want to use silverware more, and can almost feed himself yogurt! Where oh where did my baby go?!?
