Terrible or Terrific Tuesdays
Mine is neither, really. hehe And go!
I hate my job and wish that I could be doing something that makes me happy. My MIL ticked me off so bad yesterday, so I sent a response (which I never do b/c its pointless arguing w/ her, she is a negative Nancy about everything) and this morning she ripped into me worse than yesterday. I'm so sick of her mouth. I started to reply again, but figure what's the point? I said my peace and she can kiss my arse. Just when things start to turn around, she wants to nit pick about something else. Argh.
Re: Terrible or Terrific Tuesdays
I forgot, are you the one that works with her MIL? If so, yeah, sorry. If not, sorry she's beeeeetchy to you.
It's pretty terrific so far. This is day 2 of my birthday month extravaganza. It's also the second day of being seriously late to work this week. I have art class until 9 tonight, and traffic was terrible. However, I'm in an excellent mood--probably going back to point one...also, because it's progressively getting warmer. Yay!
1017, why are you picking battles with your MIL? Sick your DH on her. That's what he's there for!
As for Tuesday.... *shrug* Also neither terrible nor terrific. I'm going to miss Lost tonight because of a condo meeting, so that sucks.... but at the same time, I just found out that I did a really good job on my literature review for my Research Methods class. (high five!)
I honestly never battle w/ my MIL (and no Munki, I don't work w/ her, thank goodness!!) and generally will just delete her email or whatever. But yesterday, she caught me at a bad time. I was already ticked off from my boss, and that email she sent me just pushed me over the edge. Normally I do have my husband talk to her (he has no problem telling her she is a witch), but I figured my response was to the point enough and that was the end of it. But I was wrongo!
Karen - congrats on the great job on your lit review. How exciting for you!
Munki - have a great happy birthday month! That's so awesome!
I'm not really having either. I'm a little annoyed at my job but it's nothing terrible.
I work in a department of about 50 people but I'm in a room that's seperated from the rest of the department and myself and the other woman who works in here with me get left out of EVERYTHING. Apparently there's some food day or something going on in our department that everyone knew about but us.
Nobody even offered us anything or told us it was there, we've just seen people going by with plates stacked full all day. Not that I need the food, it just upsets me that we didn't know about it and nobody is going to say anything. That happened last time too.
Mine is neither really. Today is my first day back to work since last Wed. I wish I was still home in bed recovering from a long and busy 5 day weekend.
Things are better over here today...yesterday was pretty tough. DH found out Sunday night that his grandfather passed away suddenly. He and his grandfather were very close so he has been taking it pretty hard. He had me call work for him yesterday so he could stay home and so I, likewise, called in to interning to stay home with him. Sunday night and yesterday were hard because he is hurting so much (as is his family). Today he seems a little better and went back to work - which is good I think b/c its giving him something else to focus on. So yeah, today I am just trying to get things back in order and recover from the shock of all of this.
On a happier note though, I got a lead on a job possibility through a girl I know. She said she would give my reume to her director herself and talk me up which would be awesome. I have been out of work since August and we really need the second income. Hopefully this job will work out in my favor!
So sorry for your and your DH's loss. T&P's being sent your way for your family and for your job prospect.
T&P's for your and your husband's family during this difficult time. I hope & pray that you all get through this stronger. Good luck w/ the job prospect as well and I wish you the best!
Today's inbetween for me too. I have a good sized head cold going on and I'm really tired which isn't making work very fun. But I got approved to teach a PiYo class and probably a Ballroom class this summer through our city college's community education program so I'm really excited (and distracted) about that.
krc -- I am really sorry to hear about DH's grandfather... death is such a hard process. I will be praying for the family today.
