Re: TGIF Ladies!! Friday Confessions
I'll confess- I am so aggravated with my ofc mgr right now! We are short a receptionist until Monday-
This last monday (a few days ago) when we came in we worked out the schedule so that we would have coverage and no one would have OT- Well I was supposed to close on Wednesday (which was fine, ofc mgr had a date)-- and she was supposed to close on Friday-..... So I come in Tuesday and she is like , "Oh, Jena, Can you close on Friday?" I said Why? .... her : "Oh, I want to spend some time with J" (her youngest daugther that lives w/ her father-- she is here visiting for a few weeks).... this is not the real reason- oh well. There is nothing I can do. and i'm on vacay next week. but still- i have stuff to get done. oh well.
I've been lurking hardcore on the Money Matters board and they have really got me inspired to kick our _asses on gear and pay off our debts. So far I've made a spreadsheet of our debts, how much we owe and the % interest for each and go from there. If we stick to it, I'm hoping to have mostly everything (minus our cars) paid off in less than a year. It will be tough but I will go without certain things to be debt free.
Lisa, you have me inspired to train and enter a half marathon. The more I stalk runnersworld.com the more i wish i could be jogging right this very second!!! I want to get in shape and I know that running is my best way to get there. I CAN DO IT!!
People keep asking me "when are ya'll gonna have kids" and I'm liek I wanna wait cause we have stuff we wanna do. And they are like well your 28 how much longer are you gonna wait? And I'm like OMG seriously? I can have kids after the age of 30, it's not uncommon!! It also stresses me out cause I'd like to have enough money saved up by then too but can you really ever have enough saved??
So at work everynight we have to turn in deposits of money....and a couple times it has been off by some money...not good. Well when I make a mistake I own up to it. My CW doesnt. I found my mistake...which was just her not writing a payment down and me not catching it when I was balancing...no big deal very easy fix. not to my managers. Then another day a check was written down for the wrong amount and cw didnt catch it closing...she blames it on me.
So today I have to meet with the managers about our deposits being off...I am NOT excited.While everything is being blamed on me, its not all my fault, but they dont see it that way. My CW is perfect and never does anything wrong. But yesterday she had mistakes on the payment log and I didnt call her out I just fixed them. I will not be a happy girl in the little while. I just really hope they dont piss me off to bad. errrrr.
Megan - I totally agree. I've been on runners world way too much lately and I feel addicted... I just want to go run!! I've been "stalking" the women's forums or boards and it's amazing the variety of ages, sizes, lifestyles of the women. I kept thinking that once we had kids I won't have any time to run so I have to do as much as I can now. But, I think I've realized it's totally possible to be a lifetime activity. (just cut out an hour of TV or cleaning and you're set!!)
GL on getting out of debt. You can totally do it. It's weird how just having the suggestions and support of people online you don't even know can be SO motivating. As is the case with all the boards.
Jena - your vacation will be awesome.. just keep thinking about that:)
I confess, I think DH thinks I'm crazy for getting on this 1/2 marathon kick. I have a feeling he thinks I'm going to hurt myself or worse. He's supportive, just seems a bit wary or something. On a better note, I think I've talked a friend into the race with me. She'll probably do the 10-mile or 5k, but I will feel better just knowing I'm not running alone.
Also - Tomorrow is my B-day! It will be my first married birthday, obviously, so I can't help but hope for DH to do something special. However, as long as we get to spend some time hanging out, that will be good. We're also going to see my parents, which DH isn't overly excited about, but I feel bad for not seeing them over the 4th. It will be a good weekend!!
HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY LISA!!!! I hope you have a wonderful day!! What all do you have planned? Do you and DH have to work?
Bkenan, i'm sorry about your co-worker being liek that. That totally sux. I hope the meeting goes well and they don't upset you. ::HUGS::
Lisa, happy birthday tomorrow! And I am so excited for you to run a half marathon - that is awesome! I wish I could but I don't think I have the time to get into a consistent training program.
So I have had this CRAZY week at work and I have been super stressed out! I have this patient who is my age and who has an infection of her spine that she likely got from shooting up with heroin to the tune of 4g a day (that is a LOT of heroin, btw). I inherited her from another resident who has her on this crazy pain control regimen where we are pretty much giving her everything that we have for pain meds. The other day I get a call from the substance abuse resident telling me that one of the substance abuse program participants came in to say that my patient has been - get this - removing her fentanyl patches and chewing them, giving them to other patients to chew and even smoking them! So now I am at a loss as to what to do with this girl because I don't like getting played and she is definitely not in as much pain as she professes to be in - when she thinks you're not looking she walks around just fine. Oh yeah, and I also walked in on her and her dude doing it...that's right, in the hospital. Eww. I think it would be hilarious if it wasn't me dealing with it though!
Happy Birthday Lisa! Hope you have a great one.
Renea, I'm sorry you have a problem patient. But you are right, walking in on them going at it would be funny if it wasn't you.
I confess, I'm disliking my job more and more. But only because it has become so boring. I'm tired of sitting in front of my computer doing nothing all day. I swear, the other day another girl who works in my office perpousfully bumps my chair and grunts "uh huh" like I got caught doing something wrong. I'm sorry you are bitter. I'm sorry I was in at 830 like you are supposed to be (I'm always early so it was probably more like 820). I'm sorry that my job has been slow and I got all my work done before you even walked in the door at 905. I work my ass off, when I have something to do, you sit there are stared at the wall for an extra 45 minutes when the computers were down because you were late, not my problem. And I still don't even get why you have a problem with me.
If I get through this day without strangling someone it will be a miracle. I'm over being told I'm wrong and that I don't know what I'm doing. Oh, excuse me are you the one who has been working as an MRO asst for over three years? NO, then quit telling me how to do my job!
I must admit, I'm a little miffed at DH. We have a wedding rehearsal tonight that starts at 630. I knew he wasn't going to come with me. Last night I get home from work and he is already asleep, which means I won't see him until Saturday when he gets home from work. All of a sudden he tells me he is going with me but he may not, it depends on how he feels because he has to be at work earlier than he was supposed to. I'm so over his job. He's an asst manager but doesn't get the pay of an asst manager. And he works 6 days a week, no questions asked. UGH, I'm just so over it!
Thanks everyone! It wasnt as bad as I thought. It was just my direct boss and he was like just dont make it a habit and please dont let it happen again. I told him it wasnt always me and he understood and said he knew it wasnt...so I just over reacted!
Thom- Happy Early Bday!!! I hope you have a great weekend!
GL to you girls and your running! I am just not a runner...I wish I was but after riding horses for 13 years and dancing for 10 also my knees are not good running knees.
Wow, I'm late to this one!
I confess that I haven't done a whole lot at work this week, just what was absolutely necessary. My head just isn't here and being that summers are slow in the training department, I've definitely been taking advantage too much.
My MIL is driving me up a wall with this one thing...for the past three weeks she has been calling my DH at least 5 times every night and at least 10 times on the weekends. Seriously? Why the hell does she need to talk with him so much. Save up your questions and comments and make one darn call. Frustrating.
Oh, and MIL backed me into a corner last week, pulled up my shirt and kissed my stomach - I was absolutely disgusted and violated. WTF was that? DH had already spoken to her several times about not touching me. I barely have the start of a bump showing yet and that was way over the line.
