Hump Day Confessions
Re: Hump Day Confessions
I'm so overwhelmed at work that I don't even know where to begin.
So I've just been sitting here checking fb on my phone. In class.
I
denial.
My BFF got engaged yesterday ( in Cambria) and I am DYING to call our other friends and announce so I have someone to be excited with since she isnt home yet. But I know she only called her parents and me, so that would be rude!
Nothing too exciting, but thats all I got.
you are so missing out!
the land down under.
No, I'm not. They want to stay in hostels or crash on the floors of people we meet while we're there. I don't do hostels and I don't crash on the floors of strangers, especially not with $20k+ worth of camera gear.
I love the kindness of strangers, but I don't rely on it.
They had a band meeting last night re: the tour, and they've done NOTHING to prepare, yet sent MH home with a budget of $1200 per person. How does one budget for a trip when they haven't looked at the cost of ANYTHING? Idiots!
How long are they planning on going? Do any of them have jobs?
Yeah, I would not be down with that. Staying in a hostel is fine in your early twenties, but I need hotels now. Plus, it's a terrible plan to just assume you'll meet people who will let you stay with them!
*hopes its not me*
14 days. We're supposed to leave in a month and the only thing they have booked are their shows. They all have jobs, albeit good ones...but MH has to borrow vacation time from next year in order to go. As of right now we have plans to move next spring, so he would have to pay it back when he left the Company. We're waiting to tell his band that he won't be going after their cd release show on Saturday. They will not be happy campers.
Mine: Hmmm.....I got nothing. Oh I know, I took my car in for an oil change and they offered a free tire rotation and balance. When they got to the tires, they noticed the tread was coming off my car...not like wearing down...but cracked all the way around on every tire. I had to buy new tires at 120 a pop when not expecting it. On a positive note, the tire manufacturer gave us a huge discount off the price since my car only has 18k miles on it and they should last well past 60k.
You should hire a an automatic coffeemaker with a timer.
Coffee, retrieving files, filing closed files, taking my messages, doing my dictation.
I will say that only about 50% of it gets done, and it's consistently a shiitty job to boot. I have zero patience for that bc it just makes my job harder.
WTF? You dictate?
And...doesn't voicemail take messages just fine?
Sorry to ask so many questions, but I have never asked any of my assistants to do stuff like this for me, and they would be insulted if I did. Is this common in your office?
No!
Part of the reason why I'm changing OBs at this point in the game is so I can get someone to remove me from bed rest/pelvic rest, I am going insane.
I had a very vivid dream the other night about ramming my ex-husband with my SUV over and over again. I woke up and was moderately disappointed it wasn't real. Divorce is lame & messy.

Good God. I'm sorry, but you are a nightmare of a boss, D!
I'll let the dictation slide (although I still maintain it is archaic and something only old white guys do), but the typing and printing of your voicemails is ridiculous.
Kelli it seems like you put a lot of energy into hating your ex and revenge type feelings ... you think it is really worth it? You have a lot to look forward to and a lot of exciting positive things in your life you could put all that emotion into. If nothing else you could see that baby ticker and a countdown to your next drink!
This of course coming from someone who has absolutely no idea what is going on.
Tucker -
WM - I get more archaic the more time I spend here. I have even started ending my voicemails to others with "Bye now."
If this thing had gone somewhat close to normal, I think it would be different. Right now without going too much down the TMI level, my ex left me with a ton of debt that he ran up while flying his mistress down from Berkley for three years+ that he hasn't paid a dime on, the car loan that I'm a co-signer for that he's now 20+ days delinquent on (that is going on my credit), and I found out on Monday that changes he did have changed my address with all three credit reporting agencies as his new address with some fraudulent paperwork. Add to that he defaulted on the divorce (was served with paperwork, submitted receipt that paperwork was received, then told me to eff myself) which has resulted in nightmares on the legal side of it to even finalize it (not to mention more $$$). All the while, he?s partying, drinking, traveling, and publishing all of it on his very public Myspace and I?m being told that the likelihood of ever seeing payment on the tens of thousands of dollars he?s parked me with is slim to none.
And because I own my business in the financial sector, his financial mess is toying with my (and my future daughter's) livelihood.
I (and my therapist) think my anger is a tad bit justified.

5dogs, wow. I wish you the best of luck.
I never would have thought D would be such a hardass, from reading her posts on here.
My confession: Normally, I want people to keep their jobs, specially in hard times, and I wouldn't wish ill will on anyone... But damn. Two guys at work piss me off. They never seem to have any repercussions to their actions (or lack there of) and many lies. As much as they have made for this company they have def. counteracted with losses. "Oh it's just $500." Well, that $500 could be someones paycheck...You know, one of those people that were layed off a few months ago. Yeah.
Oh D, don't ever switch to a government job. You will have to make your own coffee, notate & maintain your own files, take your own messages, make your own phone calls, type & file your own motions, make your own copies, etc. And thanks to civil service protection, even the worst clerks always keep their jobs.
My confession: Our A/C is busted and while it is fine for now because it's cooler, it really should get looked at asap. But I'm being passive-aggressive with H and not doing anything about it because I think he should step up and handle it. Last time I needed my A/C fixed I got outrageous quotes, pretty much because the repairmen thought female = $$ - knowledge of a reasonable rate.
Yes, I told him all this last night. No, he has not made any phone calls yet.
