I may have just been recruited to help out my old department at work. The last time I helped them was over three years ago. It means working late thurs thru sunday, my whole weekend is shot.
How do you say no when it's to help maintain a client and the higher ups are asking you? You don't. Sigh.
I guess that means that Biker Boy and I won't see each other for a few more weeks.
I just started Amy's baby blanket this weekend. I have 10 rows done. I need a total of 57 as well as doing the edging. The shower is next weekend. eeeks.
I've been having a rough couple of weeks at work. I think it's a combination of a whole new group of people on my floor I support, projects, and overall stress of hardware and software issues that never seem to get resolved.
Prime example of what I deal with on my floor every day:
Picture it: 9am Monday morning
Location: co-workers cube, discussing current calendar project. My office is right next to hers.
My phone rings.
I hear it but figure they'll leave a message. Instead they hit the "0" line which pushes it to everyone in the group. I get into my cube and answer the phone.
"IT emergency line this is Vodka"
"It's about TIME you answered your PHONE!"
Happy Monday to you too.
I just spent the past three hours going through a few thousand work emails. I am now down to 325 emails in my inbox. I would feel better about this except most of the emails that were in my inbox were all moved around into other folders. I don't feel any more organized than when I first started this. Sigh...
I've been cutting back on bread all week. After the crappy 7 days/3WEEKS i've had, i'm buying a freaking Jet's large square pizza tomorrow night. I'm wolfing down the entire thing and I don't care if I gain 5 pounds. Cutting out the carbs didn't make me lose one gram of weight - what's the point?
Whoo hooo! PIZZA!
Is it a bad sign when everyone in your department is in a meeting and you're not?
** Update ** I wasn't fired, but considering all the fun we've been having here it did worry me that I wasn't in the meeting yesterday. Found out it was a meeting that had to be broken up into two meetings. I'm in the second meeting. That was a close one!
I had a conversation with Twisted friday night and i'm still wondering - how do you know when the person you are with is "the one"?
I hate that freaking phrase. I don't know if there are soulmates in the world. I do know there are people that you are extremely compatible with or people that you can't go near with a 10ft. pole.
He also asked me if I love Biker Boy or am I IN love with Biker Boy? I honestly don't know. It's only been four months. After two and a half weeks he professed his love for me. It took me three months to say it, even though I think I knew a long time before. But IN love? I know I would do anything for him. I love his intelligence and his enthusiasm for life. I love the fact that during my psychotic episodes he can calm me down. When I am with him, I love the way he makes me feel about myself. When we're apart I feel like a part of me is missing.
We jumped into this relationship head first. There has been no romance, no pining for my affections. Instead our weekends together are filled with normal every day motions. Shopping, cooking meals, etc. I wish we had the romance. I know he loves me, but he doesn't show it very often. He tells me every day, but it would be nice if he would do a romantic/nice gesture once in a while. And i'm not even talking chocolate and roses, i'm talking about cleaning his house before I show up for the weekend.
I know i've blogged alot of frustrations here about him. But I think it's because i'm trying to find more things wrong with him than the good. Since we only see each other every two to three weeks, I have a tendency to overanalyze ALOT. Twisted says I need therapy because i'm "damaged" and I completely agree. I have a tarnished outlook on marriage and love.
So to the peanut gallery - if you have a significant other - did you just "know" or did it take some time? Do you think everyone has a soulmate? Please enlighten me!
Since Amy is pregnant, she has requested that I crochet a baby blanket for her. I was fine with this, until she had to go to Joann's and pick out the yarn herself.
I'm a chunky, soft yarn kinda gal. This way I can hide any mistakes and I make ALOT. Amy picks out a really pretty yarn, but it's regular baby yarn which means every little knot that isn't supposed to be there is definitely going to show.
This could be why i'm so hesitant to start the darn thing. I have the pattern, I have the yarn but I don't have the motivation. Her shower is October 5th. I have only a few weeks to do this. Let's see if I actually get it done. lol.
