I can't believe there is only one week left until Christmas! Holy cow! I'm excited. For a while, I was starting to feel like I had lost my Christmas spirit, but it is starting to catch up with me again. Yesterday, John and I had to go to Vermont for a family party with my dad's side of the family. It was nice to see everyone. We did a Yankee Swap, and I was #1, so that was great! If you're #1 in a Yankee Swap, you get to go around and look at all of the gifts after they've been unwrapped and pick whichever one you want, since you didn't have the chance to swap with anyone after opening a gift! That started to make it feel like Christmas again.
There is also only one week left for me at my job at Seacoast Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. That is going to be bitter sweet when I leave. My last day is Friday. On one hand, I'm really excited about not having to deal with a lot of the stuff (and one of the people) there, but I am going to kind of miss it. I've been there for about a year and 3 months, and with the turnover rate in the medical records department, that's a long time! On the up side though, I'll be starting a new adventure in substitute teaching. I'm trying to decide if working in a school is my calling, so what better way to find out?! I still have no job with the state and they've got 44 days left to find me one. I'm not getting my hopes up.
I heard back from UNH about why my diploma hadn't arrived yet. Well, apparently, one was ordered in my married name instead of in my maiden name. So they were going to have the printer make up a new one for me. I am glad I caught them ahead of time, because I had actually wanted one with my married name on it, for the sake of ease, and I told them not to have the printer make a new one, that I WANTED the one they had, and so to just send it to me! I'll be relieved to get it. I'm excited to have it and be officially done with that chapter of my life.
I guess that's about all for now. Life is pretty boring, but I'll be sure to keep everyone updated when I start subbing!

Your soul is bound to the Solitary Rose: The
Alone.
"When I wake up alone, the shades are still
drawn on the cold window pane so they cast
their lines on my bed and lines on my
face."
The Solitary Rose is associated with loneliness,
melancholy, and patience. It is governed by
the goddess Merope and its sign is The Sword,
or Unrequited Love.
As a Solitary Rose, you may be summed up as a
hopeless romantic. You desire love and have so
much love to give, but thing just never seem to
work out the way you want them to. In life,
you can be very optomistic, even when things
are gray and nothing works out to your
expectations.
What Rose Is Your Soul Bound To?

My "Holiday" Editorial
Okay, normally, I LOVE Christsmas. Love everything about Christmas, the snow, the songs, the trees, the food... all of it. BUT, this is really starting to get me irritated.
Christmas vs. Holiday.
What the hell is this all about anyway? Holiday trees? So, what, we put them up for the 4th of July too? Ooh, or maybe for Labor Day! Better yet, Arbor Day! Hey, they're holiday TREES, so why not use them to celebrate Arbor day? Like one of my coworkers said (and no offense meant to anyone who reads this and is Jewish), "We don't call a menorah 'Holiday candles.'" Or, as the woman said on CNN said, "Maybe we should stop calling Veterans Day Veterans Day because not everyone in the country is a veteran."
"The Boston Christmas tree situation is symbolic of what's happening ... around the country," said Mathew Staver, president and general counsel of Liberty Counsel. "Government officials, either because of misinformation, or private retailers, for politically correct reasons, are trying to secularize Christmas. "To rename a Christmas tree as a holiday tree is as offensive as renaming a Jewish menorah a candlestick," Mr. Staver said. (Taken from: http://washingtontimes.com/metro/20051129-120703-5977r.htm )
I told John the other day, this country has become so politically correct, it's offensive. Lowe's, the home improvement store, decided to advertise selling Holiday trees (see this referenced story here: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=47634 ), yet the banner on the front of the store said in Spanish that they were selling Christmas trees. Go figure. "The American Family Association says its supporters contacted Lowe's to express their displeasure. The company responded in a statement: 'To ensure consistency of our message and to avoid confusion among our customers, we are now referring to the trees only as 'Christmas Trees.' We have also removed a banner that read 'Holiday Trees' from the front of our stores.'"
"'It's good to know Lowe's is a company that listens to their customers, a rarity in today's politically correct retail marketplace,' [AFA President Tim Wildmon] said. Wildmon added, 'Since they can't take Christ out of Christmas, many national retailers are trying to simply do away with Christmas.'"
Can't take Christ out of Christmas? Why the heck would you WANT to?! Every holiday has it's basis in something. This one just happens to be based in the Christian faith!
In Boston, the furor of changing the name of the city's Christmas tree to a Holiday tree was intense. "The Nova Scotia logger who cut down the 48-foot (14-meter) tree was indignant and said he would not have donated the tree if he had known of the name change.
'I'd have cut it down and put it through the chipper,' Donnie Hatt told a Canadian newspaper. 'If they decide it should be a holiday tree, I'll tell them to send it back. If it was a holiday tree, you might as well put it up at Easter.'" (See the story here: http://today.reuters.com/news/newsarticle.aspx?type=domesticNews&storyid=2005-11-25T225326Z_01_KRA582362_RTRUKOC_0_US-LIFE-TREE.xml&rpc=22 ) "Boston Mayor Thomas Menino said he would keep calling the Nova Scotia spruce a "Christmas tree" regardless of what it said on the city's official Web site. 'I grew up with a Christmas tree, I'm going to stay with a Christmas tree,' Menino told reporters on Thursday."
The following came from this website: http://washingtontimes.com/metro/20051129-120703-5977r.htm
Calling a Christmas tree a Christmas tree has become a politically charged prospect in jurisdictions across the country -- from Boston to Sacramento and in dozens of communities in between.
"It's a growing problem," said Jared N. Leland, spokesman and legal counsel for the Becket Fund, a District-based legal and educational institute. "Celebrating the season with Christmas trees ... and leaving them named 'Christmas' is simply recognizing the religious nature of people. Christmas should be able to be called Christmas."
But enough from what the newspapers and online articles have to say about everything. Thanks to some guy on the raido Friday, I'm even over the use of X-mas instead of Christmas. Apparently the use of that came from the Greek, as the letter Chi (pronounced ki) is written looking like the letter X, and is equvalent to the letters "Ch" in English. Therefore, it was just shortened.
I know most of this stuff is about the difference between a Christmas tree and a holiday tree. That's probably because that's where most of the argument has been. But let me tell you what I believe:
I believe that everyone has the right to celebrate the holiday of their choosing without fear of offending someone else.
I believe that Christmas should (and will!) always remain Christmas, regardless of what people try to do with it.
I believe that people can put a wreath, or a Merry Christmas doormat or a menorah in a highly visible spot and not have to feel threatened by doing it.
I believe that people who see that wreath, the Merry Christmas doormat or a menorah have enough moral values to know they are a symbol of the holiday that the person they belong to choose to celebrate and will respect them.
I believe in Christ, therefore, I believe in Christmas and the spirit of Christmas.
And, I believe that Dave Barry put it best when he said "In the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it 'Christmas' and went to church; the Jews called it 'Hanukkah' and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other on the street would say 'Merry Christmas!' or 'Happy Hanukkah!' or (to the atheists) 'Look out for the wall!'"

Life As We Know It
Okay, so I realized this morning that my graduation date from UNH was 14 weeks ago. I still haven't recieved my diploma, and I'm a little irritated about this. It's not like I NEED to have it, but it would be nice being officially done with them for now, and knowing that I actually have a degree. It's making me a little nervous that maybe something happened and I'm one credit away from actually having my degree. That would SUCK! Anyway, if any of you had this issue when you finished up at UNH, please let me know so I can know to not be that worried.
Next, I decided this weekend to quit my job. It's just time for me to move on. I'm going to give my notice tomorrow and my last day will be 12/23. That way, I can fully enjoy my Christmas, and then take some time to really enjoy my Christmas and New Years. Then, I'm going to start substitute teaching and if that doesn't work out, find a job somewhere else. The state has only 51 days left to get me a job (but who's counting, right?), so I'm not going to hold my breath much longer.
There really isn't much more for me to update, other than those two things... At least, I can't think of anything at the moment. I'm trying to figure out why all of a sudden I can't put images into my livejournal, so forgive me if all of a sudden my posts look weird. I guess that's it for now.

Another Ranting Entry
So yesterday I get this call from the Manchester DCYF. "Hi Melissa? This is Marie Noonan. Is now a good time?" So I take the call in the conference room at work so that 1) I'm not tying up the shared phone in the medical records room and 2) So that if she's calling to offer me the job, I won't be all thrilled in front of everyone and if she's calling to turn me down for the job I won't burst into tears in front of everyone. So I get back on the phone and she's like "Well, I'm sorry to have to do this on a Friday and while you're at work..." so my next thought is "f*** you, call me at home on Thursday then." And she starts in about how they're not going to hire me because "despite having gone through 7 months of an internship and 13 core trainings, or whatever it was" - VER BATIM - they "didn't feel I had come to grasp what the mission of DCYF is" and so on and so forth. Then she goes on to tell me that part of it was because I didn't discuss safety for the children and safety plans and so on, which is bullshit because I KNOW I talked about safety and stuff - they DIRECTLY ASKED ME ABOUT IT! I'm so fed up with this whole thing. How in God's name can you give someone a grant to pay for all of their tuition and mandatory student fees and then, when the whole thing is over, be like "ha ha, we were just kidding, we didn't really thing you'd be good at child protective service work anyway." Like I told my mom, no wonder the Manchester office has such a high turn over rate - no one wants to deal with a supervisor that's going to talk to her co-workers that way.
I went on about this forever with John last night. I'm starting to develop a complex from all of this, starting to think that I really must be an awful social worker. I really do think that I must suck at it and I've totally missed my calling. Well, if that's the case, I don't know what the hell my calling was, because I didn't even hear the phone ring, let alone missed the call.
My mother just called me. I'm 24 years old and married. I think I know how to dress myself to go to a craft fair. She's like "So many people have been asking if you're going to be there today! You might want to wear something a little nicer than jeans!" And I'm like "Mom, I wear something nicer than jeans to work every day. I'm not wearing anything other THAN jeans to this thing today." You know, if I could take it back telling my mom that I was going to the craft fair at her church today, I would, and I would go over to the one at the Dover High School instead. Call up Bonnie - "Hey! What's on the agenda for today? Want to hit up a huge craft fair in Dover?" That would be much more fun. John's starting to get sick, but I hope he feels well enough to come to my parents this weekend, otherwise today is going to suck.
Anyway, I'm going to go lay down again. I've been up since 6, it's 7:48 now and it's SATURDAY. Holy crap do I need a vacation.

I Wish...
I called Sarah tonight. It was nice to hear about her honeymoon and catch up with her a bit. I miss her, so it was great to catch up with her. I've been trying to do that a lot more lately. Tonight I tracked down my old boyfriend Greg. He's the only one that I never really burned bridges with and still think about and wonder what he's been up to and stuff. I just found out where he's living and I'm happy to hear he's doing well. So if anyone out there is reading this and wants to catch up some, please feel free to e-mail me (either mcardin@alumni.unh.edu or melissa.cardin@gmail.com) and let me know what you're up to these days.
I'm going to go off and start job hunting again and then watch some CSI before calling it a night. Catch y'all on the flip side!
