Re: Friday Randoms
Very thankful that it's Friday.
We are heading up to Manistee for some hotel time tonight after work. Looking forward to getting away, hanging out in the pool with my baby, and going out to dinner! I just want to relax.
I so get to veg this weekend - wohoo
I'm taking a mental health day today.
It's nice so far.
I would like a mental health day...from my life. Is that possible? If so, where do I sign up?
Other news: I just figured out how to program the phone system in the office. The phone line isn't set up but at least I can call each desk/area that has a phone. It's the little things ya know.
I actually always wanted to do one of those silent retreats at a retreat center. Totally unplug.
I dont' know what a silent retreat is, but it sound intriguing.
I've been struggling lately, I took a 20% pay cut for a job that I work for a B!tch. I normally don't like to call other women that, but I'm making an exception in this case. I also work an insane amount of overtime. For the last 3 weeks I've been in the office from 8am -10pm, with an hour lunch, and worked at least 4 hours a day on the weekend as well.
My manager snapped at me yesterday, the same way a frustrated mother snaps at a small child. I decided I had to get away for the day. I'm mostly getting caught up on housework. I have a hair appointment this afternoon, followed by a session with my therapist.
You go girl. And give the b!tch some dose of her own medicine. I can say it but I could never do it to my boss, I shrink in the corner. Oh well. But I have a therapist to vent to too.
