2013 Your Performance Improvement Plan Isn't Working

They do this thing where I work called a PIP (see title), so if you're not performing well, instead of firing you, they demoralize you first with the pretty much impossible PIP process, but it gives you time to look elsewhere before being let go. Most people see the writing on the wall and bail before they have documented proof the PIP failed.

2013!! Why have you not found employment elsewhere?!?!

( ER visit the first )

( Bad Carma )

( Local Warming? )

( ER visit the 2nd )

( Subaruby is a sad panda )

( ION )

It appears we've hit our out-of pocket max of medical expenses for the whole year in the first quarter. Yay? Now I am eating steamed dumplings and drinking vodka. If I had a hottub or a bath deep enough, I might actually not feel like whining.

Yesterday we were informed the results of the PET scan show DH's latest scare is totally confined to his left tonsil. He'd already been scheduled for it's removal on Jan. 18, so they're probably going to keep that date unless they can get him in earlier. While they're removing it, they'll decide whether or not he needs any radiation to finish it off. But it's supposedly pretty easy to eradicate when it's this type of cancer, and this specifically located. It was a huge relief to get this news. I'm almost as shell-shocked as I was two weeks ago when they told us it was there. DH is hugely relieved because he was afraid his vocal chords would be involved, and that did not bode well for his "newgrass"/bluegrass musical hobby.

I need to schedule a Dr appointment to be checked out though, because this is related to HPV. So technically, it's a cancer that's also an STD. sheesh.

ION, we bought a new car on Thursday. It's a Kia Forte (5-door) with a moon roof. It's only the 2nd car I've ever purchased brand new, and I've never had one with a moon roof before either. She's "super-cute" according to the girl, and promises to get really good gas mileage, probably twice as many mpgs as either of our 2 decrepit vehicles which both need serious repairs before the kids can comfortably take them over for their daily commutes. With 4 drivers in the house, and the looming medical gauntlet, we felt we needed more than 2 vehicles. At some point we'll get back on track to trade one of these in for another Subaru, but now it looks like 2-3 yrs instead of less than 2. It's been a long time since we've had a car payment, so this will be interesting. At least the maintenance is included for the first 50K miles.
