Okay, I have to apologize for not coming right back when I said I would. I've just been sooooo preoccupied and busy with all kinds of things.
At work.....things are starting to come to a head. Everything that I'm doing to help out other people is starting to catch up with me. Lara has been riding my back to help her all the time since I've been helping George. And when Ms. J is out, I have to take over her areas as well. Then the unthinkable happened. While I was out on sick leave, some paperwork that I had accepted for one of her employees got lost and was never processed. I had to get out of bed and help out. I called the employee from home and tried to get some strings pulled in payroll to make it happen, but it worked out. The ONLY problem is that Ms. J's liaison wasn't too happy that it had happened and even though I went through some extraordinary measures to get the problem fixed, he still wants an explanation and a detail process assuring that it wil never happen again. WTF??!?! He can suck on that one!
Things are really starting to hit the fan now that our merger has been approved. Everybody is running around trying to get things in order before we become one in the Head Office. Booshy has been getting in trouble for, what I call - being "dangerously dumb". She "thinks" she knows a lot, but she REALLY doesn't and it's just making more work for everyone else. At least George recognizes that he has an issue.
I've become more fond of George over the last few weeks. I think we are becoming fast friends. I think I take a sick kind of joy in talking to him all the time. He's becoming pretty fascinating. I think I may have even gotten a little jealous when he had a woman over for a lunch date the other day. I don't know why I could have thought I was his only friend.
Anyway, when I was sick, I ended up having to be out for the whole week. My doctor is a little wacko, so I'm currently trying to find another one. She told me that my pink eye was going to go away on it's own and it just ended up getting worse and if she would have given me the medicine to get it corrected on Monday, I wouldn't have had to see her again on Wednesday just for her to tell me I needed to be out two more days to start taking the medicine. I was PISSED. It was like I had do diagnose myself!! WTF!?!? I spent my co-pay on absolutely NOTHING!!
Needless to say, Shelly bitched and complained behind my back about me being out, but she didn't DARE say any of those things to me. She needs to grow some supervisor-balls if she wants to act like that.
Oh yeah, my old supervisor is slowly but surely taking our employees over to her new job with her. She just offered a job to my old assistant, who just happens to be our ONLY payroll person right now. Her last day is going to be on May 23rd. Wow, I wonder how long it will be before she comes to get Shelly. They were totally BFFs when she was here, but I think she may know how much Shelly DOESN'T know and doesn't want to take her.
On the home front, things are better than ever right now. We finally got Sam into Pre-K at the school where Felicia and Jason goes, so our commute is soooo much better now. It takes all of 20 minutes to drop everyone off and get to the subway! It's awesome!!
Karl and I have been fighting over various things, one thing in particular - my going out. He thinks I go out too much and wants me to take it into consideration that he doesn't go out. I wanted to KILL George when this subject came up because he had JUST talked about having that SAME problem with his wife. And I just kept saying, I'm not that bad! I'm better than that, but then Karl called. I was pissed! But that didn't stop me from going out on Friday night. I was actually going out with his best friend from work, Taylor and her partner Laura, so it was all good.
But we ended up going to an adult entertainment party at one of their friend's houses. It was pretty interesting. I had met a guy that I ended up snuggling up with so that I didn't inadvertantly get a lap dance from one of the girls. Every time they came over, I just kinda passed them off to him. He was really nice though, we talked a lot during the night.
I'm going to keep a lot of the rest that happened to myself. I was peer pressured into doing something and I almost made us some money because apparently there were some Fat Admirers in the crowd. We had a good time and for those of you wondering - it was NOT a gay party!
I told Karl what I did and he was laughing, I think he wanted to see it. So I'm thinking he wants to be invited to the next party. That's gonna be SOOOO fun, we'll see if he can handle how I act when I'm drinking! LOL!
The very next day on Saturday, I actually went back to my church after about 5 years. I went for their Mother's Day Tea. Sam was home, so I took her with me. I swear that girl has A.D.D., she can't sit still to SAVE HER LIFE, but the program was pretty good. The food was cold, but that was to be expected. Aunt Carla (moneybags) was the speaker for the afternoon and she did a pretty amazing job. She did this poem at the end that had all of our eyes watering. It was nice.
Today, I spent the day with the kids, making cookies and watching movies. We only ended up getting through Nancy Drew. Sam still couldn't sit still and they all ended up fighting, so I sent them to their rooms. I had wanted them to camp out with me on the air beds in the living room the night before, but around midnight, the girls were kicking each other and fighting and since Jason looked like he was going to cry when I threatened to send them all to their rooms, so I did.
Lately, Jason and Felicia have been doing a lot of over-dramatic stuff and Sam has been doing a lot of snitching and stuff. I understand that Jason is under a lot of pressure at school, we're doing the science fair project and now he has another social studies project on the state of Maryland. He's got a lot to handle. Felicia is getting into "middle-child" mode again. She constantly needs attention and I'm just hoping I'm giving her enough. She seems to be doing well at school, but when I went to Mom's and Muffins the other day, her teacher is just getting more and more ghetto to me! I can't WAIT until she gets out of her class!
I've done the paperwork to get Sam tested for early admission into kindergarten, but Karl has yet to drop off the papers. I don't know what's taking him so long, but it's driving me crazy, so since I'm off tomorrow, I'll probably do it myself.
YES, tomorrow I'm OFF!! And I'm not doing ANYTHING, I'm going to get my feet and my nails done and I'm canceling my appointment with the nutritionist. They sent me a bill for $150, so now that my insurance isn't paying for ANY of it, I want to quit and just use what they taught me so far. I'm still going to swim aerobics and cutting my portions. I'm just trying to stick to it.
Okay, I'm gonna have to go. It's almost time to get everyone up, so I'll talk to you again soon!
