LP 6 Blog Prompt

Who are you interviewing for your Informational Interview that is due with the portfolio at the end of the term? Carol Buehler Parent educator that works with me.

Have you been working on updating your resume and tweaking your cover letter? Yes I just did for Field 2.

How has your professional self developed through your time here at NTC? I would like to think I have grown since I had to relearn how to study & do homework after how many years. I have learned a lot in the past year that I know that will stick more now that I am older than if I was 18 lol.

Anything else I need to know? Need to vent? Share good stuff? Do it here...
Well with the good stuff 1st. I am meeting my little on Friday night & if all goes well we will be going on a hayride at Camp Forest Springs. Now for the venting.

As far as the last couple of weeks goes yes I have been busy with other classes and life. I know my discussion board has been lacking. I knew the consequences but I had a lot on my plate and in my personal life.

Sorry to say but good riddance...Linda Heinkel is no longer employed with Parent (Family) Resource Center as of 5 Pm 2night. Peggy Nordgren board president will be there on Tuesday. Carol Buehler will be in charge of a lot of stuff until we have a new director. As far as her reprimand of me. Everyone that I told what actually happened told me she was an evil woman. She would tell you one thing but had you doing how many projects all at once and she would forget what she told you. She accused me of not going to a presentation that she gave last week when she never told me about it. I have contacted the last two interns & they all had the same stuff to say about her. As far as that employee goes about the confidentiality she was eves dropping on Bonnie the administration assistant & I. She made the cleaner girl get down on her hands & knees & scrub the floor & the girl had cerebral palsy. Bonnie was telling me this because she thought it was wrong of her to make this girl have to do this and the girl ended up quitting. I think because of us talking about her & what she made that girl do. It made her make it known to me that she had all the power and she could make my life hell. Bonnie doesn't work for Parent Resource Center. She works for a Senior program. So she couldn't do anything about what she told me & this was her way of getting back. We had discussed that I disobeyed her by going to a visitation after she told me no. I had a prearranged visitation (which is what program I interested in Human Services not marketing or business)with Carol that I forgot to tell her & she was in a meeting when we left & it did slip my mind that she wanted me to stay & work on more marketing of the facebook page which was supposed to be fun but in the end it sure wasn't. I thought last Thursday when I left we had it resolved though. I apologized to her told her I was in the wrong.

That's why they didn't have a cleaner and we did the cleaning which like I said I had no problem with. I have cleaned many places of employment so no big deal. I now know why she made such a big deal about the cleaning issue. She had me work on something on facebook & then have me change it because it wasn't up to her standards. All the interns told me that she would have you do something but then go do it how she wanted in the end anyway. She was constantly preaching politics to me when I was brought up to not talk about religion or politics it's your own personal belief. I really liked her in the beginning but Bonnie warned me. She said I would get my turn. She had a few different faces she showed. Her fake side was pretty pathetic when she was trying to impress the board of directors. She was constantly cutting my community of Medford down. Always talking about the corporate world when this is little Medford, WI. I praised her a lot because she was that kind of person that loves to hear great things about themselves. It made her feel all important. I met Peggy a couple weeks ago at the baby fair I went to & I do know that she has no intention of the Firehouse Exchange program, it isn't even on her radar. We have enough used clothing places here in town already. I was trying to act professional about this that's why I didn't make it a big deal because I knew she was leaving. There will be many happy people come Tuesday in the office. When I arrived Tuesday at my internship I had to run an errand with her right off the start and she acted as if nothing happened and was nice as can be to me. I then got to see her fake nice as can be profile as we interacted with some well known public business leaders. Like it never happened. After you telling me that 20 min. prior wow the composure that I had to have was WOW. Especially after hearing her put my internship in jeopardy. I told Bonnie what went down she couldn't believe it. So there is my side of it from a more awake not shocked just out of bed me. Sorry I was watching the Monday night Packer game against her damn Chicago Bears (she's from Chicago)that beat us! Oh she was so giddy when I complemented her on the win it was quite sickening. I am not a fake person you get me how I am all the time that's how I will always be true to myself and everyone around me. By the end of the week I had the newsletter she wanted me to start and she seemed to be over joyed at the progress of it. As I was leaving she was in a meeting with Bonnie & Tara so I felt I had had a good week after what had gone down. But when Bonnie called me after my Behavior Assessment class tonight to tell me she just came home from celebrating with four beers her demise. Which says a lot coming from an older person how bad she was. She was so happy she was leaving she even helped her pack.

Looking forward now to the rest of the semester of Field. I can't possibly have that again with the new director!
