My new job

Ok, I know it’s been a long time since my last post….the thing is when a lot of stuff is going on I seem to have nooooo motivation to write, enuf said! Forgiven?

 I had a glorious week in California, which was filled with a whirlwind of friends, family, food, and P90X with my brother Michael.  YES, P90X ON MY VACATION!!!! I AM AMAZING!!!  Anywho, then I came home and it was Josh’s birthday so we had some fun, shortly after that I got a call and bam I was offered a last minute position as a teacher’s aid at LU….been working my arse off ever since.  Let me just say, I cannot believe how hard it is to work with little kids all day!  I make about 1/3 of my old salary and I work 10 times as hard ( wait those stats sounds somewhat familiar…”UCLA cost 1/3 of the price for 10x the education as USC”…that’s right, college.  Oh how I miss thee).  So yeah, now I get up at the ass crack of dawn (actual time 6am, but that IS early… back at home in research we had to be at work by 9:30 am and that was a GUIDELINE).  My entire day is spent telling 23 four-year-olds 100x/day things like “stay in your seat”, “raise your hand”, “stand in line”…I don’t get why they are all such little idiots, I mean this is common sense.  Today I was helping this very cute little annoying 4 year old how to spell his name, and it was taking a while, and all the while 6 other little kids at his table were like shaking me and interrupting “Ms Lyssa, Ms Lyssa, Ms Lyssa!”  WHAT?!!! “Umm, ummm, I like your dress”  Thank you, now color your fucking picture.  And stay in the lines!  “Umm, Ms Lyssa, Ms Lyssa!”  What?! “ Um, um, I like your nail polish”.  What are you fucking ignored at home and I’m your only chance for conversation???  I’ll tell ya it’s good birth control though!
Well, to be completely honest those little buggers are annoying as balls but they are really cute and I adore them (first thing in the morning before they have had a chance to annoy me).  J



                 Me taking shots with two of my coworkers from my new job, I understand why teachers must drink after work!


This was the fishbowl we drank for Josh's birthday!

 Awesome little place in Grande Case we went for Josh's birthday where you can have a drink with your feet in the water....must return.

 In California, eating steak with friends...nothing puts a smile on my face like steak!  And Bill and Raul!


 My little neice and I, awwwwww. Miss her!


This is how med students spend their time off...work hard, play hard.
