need & want

I forced an update on the hiring situation out of the HR guy here yesterday. And I was wrong in my previous entry when I said it had been over a week. Actually it's been over two weeks. The two departments I work for (financial and marketing) can't agree on a replacement. There was one girl interviewed last Friday that looked promising, but now she's out of the country until next Monday. And with a lot of big meetings and visitors coming in this coming week, I doubt the marketing department and the pres will have time to discuss hiring her. I thought I'd be done by today. Now I'm hoping I can be done by the end of next week. Actually, really I'm hoping there's some way I can get out of here without having to train the person. Everything here is so random.

Today I'm going to call our realtor and see if that guy who was considering selling the condo he currently rents out, is in fact possibly willing to sell. She should have called him by now. But really I don't have my hopes up. I just hope that she calls him soon.

I hate how fast my life is moving sometimes. I feel like I have no time to experience anything, it's just all rushing by. I mean, I witnessed death for the first time about 2 weeks ago and have I blogged about it yet? No. It was important to me to write about it, especially since I'm going to miss the little bugger.

I'm due in 5 weeks. I know that to a point everything will come together, but right now I see that the extent of our preparedness is that I'm finally registered at a hospital and we have an idea of what a healthy labour will be like. I won't have a hospital tour till 2 weeks before I am due. The crib is not assembled. The change table is not assembled. We don't have a car seat. I want to get off work so I can start sorting all this stuff out.

My mom is going to come and visit in a couple of weeks and she said she'll help me with packing a bag for the hospital and all that kind of stuff. I have to hash out a list for a baby shower and cross my fingers that the girl who wants to pull it off will be able to before the baby is born. I was going to wait until afterwards, but as my mom pointed out, I'm going to be pretty busy once the baby is born… it might be easier to just get it over with beforehand. I totally agree.

Our wedding thank you cards arrived but have not been sent out yet. There are so many people to send special thanks to. I haven't spoken to hardly anyone since the wedding  and that was 4 ½ months ago!!

I want to be able to stay at home and complete all these incompletes. That's what I really want. Hang work, hang the money. A little organization in my home life is what I need right now.
