Hello everyone

Well what a week it's been.  The drama at work has been unbearable.  But I have to say it's has all worked out for me. 

First on Wednesday was a bad day for me.  My boss yelled at me for something she asked me to do!!!  I handed in a spreadsheet complete with pop-up comments (she asked me to do this).  We had a full conversation about it at the end of last month.  She wanted comments attached to explain what was involved with each line item.  So this month I did just that.  Do you know what this shrew said....she yelled that I wasted my time!!!  I looked at her and said...I stood in your office last month and you specifically asked me to do this...I said this 3 times.  She ignored me each time I said it.  Why...because she knew she asked me to do it.  She just kept telling me how I am wasting my time doing useless stuff...and I said...ya useless stuff you ask me to do.  The thing is she had her mind set on yelling on me that day.  If I walked in without the work done she asked me to do I would have got yelled at for no doing it.  And since it was done...well I got yelled at any way.

Well the next day the payroll manager came to me and said...I just felt so bad for you.  Another girl over heard and said...I am your witness that she told you to do those comments.  I heard her yelling at you last month to do them. 

Anyway...I was upset because the controller got fired yesterday and basically she was the one that saved me from getting fired.  My boss wanted me gone and the controller wouldn't let her.  When the controller was fired yesterday my thought was "great now my boss can fire me".  Well today I found out from my old boss that is false.  If anything my boss's job is on the line.  Word has gotten around how badly she treats me and others and word has reached the president.  He is not happy.  From what I hear if she doesn't change her attitude she is on her way out.  My ex-boss told me that he was told specifically how she treats me.  I am wondering who went through all the trouble to go to the president of the company and explain what is going on and how I am being treated.  And I thought how nice that someone would do that for me.  I would never do that for myself.  I guess when you treat people nice and are friendly...they are willing to do things for you.

So it looks like I might not have to look for a job after all and I might get my great work place back.  Lets hope.

Anyway Good luck to you.

See you all later...have a good day

Happy Friday everyone!!

Today is my last day at work before surgery.  My train buddy gave me a big hug as we got off the train this morning and wished me luck.  I decided to take a personal day on Monday so I can just lay around and relax.  It was rough walking to the office from Union Station.  Even though it's only a little more than a block, between the joint pain and the fatigue, it was brutal.  I have been trying tylenol and it has kinda taken the edge off, thank goodness.  Plans for the weekend are to just relax as much as possible.

Anyone doing anything fun this weekend?

I'm just sitting and waiting for this stormy weather to pass. My first kids on the bus this morning ask me why the bus was so dark! I had to explain why, he just looked at me like I was speaking in a different language! The lighting was really bright this morning, and the mom to the kids at my first stop didn't drive her kids up to the stop, it 1/4 mile up pouring rain and fierce lighting. The poor kids were drenched! 

I am such an airhead, was thinking wow all set for all my bills for a couple weeks, then oops I forgot to renew my plates on the car! So there goes my check tomorrow! That was to go on my cruise in January! Well I am ahead on those payments so all is good.

I hope to go see my doctor in October. I have not seen him in 3 years. I have had this lapband for 7 years and I do not have any fluid in there for the last 3 years and I have restriction. I am trying my best to eat better, and pay attention to my protein intake. Being by myself I tend to eat snacks more then I should instead of preparing a a meal! 

Well I need to go use the treadmill that my son bought for me! So have a safe day and try to stay dry if it's raining in your neck of the woods!

Good Morning,

I was going to have my morning coffee on the porch this morning, but we are getting rain. I thought it wasn't suppose to start until later today.

Being back to work is nice, but the program has some major flaws that the state has to figure out. For instance, our application has always been 1 page, now it prints as 2. The 2nd page has about 2 inches of info and then 2 lines to sign.  There are a few other screwed up things as well. Such as trying to get from point a to point b. It throws you out of the application. I am sure someone will figure it out, eventually, but until then, it is taking longer to help.

Connie, I am sorry you fell. It sounds like a great trip otherwise.

Have lots to do,

Hugs,

Hi all!

We're in Granada tonight and next one. Tomorrow the Alhambra.  I'm surprised how much Spanish history I remember from college! Nice people on the trip. There are 20 of us and only one guy who seems to be pretty deaf and he doesn't try to take over. I walked way over 6000 steps today. That's not much for lots of you but it's really a lot for me, especially after falling in the airport. I have an app on my phone to count steps but it doesn't work in Spain when I'm away from the hotel so I have to guess from Kay's fit bit. Eating all kinds of fish here--a real treat for me.

take care,

Connie
