Fruitcake Friday
Ok so i dont know what to post today...except that maybe I'm a fruitcake.
Or at least I will be after this weekend. I was supposed to come into work at 7pm tonight and stay till about 2am saturday for one of our big production releases. Then i'd be back into the office for about 6am saturday and stay till approximately 4pm saturday.
Well, my boss (and his boss and boss's boss) told me yesterday that NO QUESTIONS ASKED i have to be in the office today for a meeting from 8:30-3. YES one meeting for that freaking long. It's regarding another effort that i'm deeply involved with. But now i have to work until probably at least 2 today (starting at 6:30) and then do the rest of my horrible weekend on top of that!!! Hence I'm going to be a fruitcake once this is all over. Almost no sleep for 48 freaking hours....just lovely.

Oh Kim - that is NOT fun! Sorry that this weekend is full of crappy work stuff and no sleep. Hopefully next week will be back to a normal schedule.
The only thing I have to post is a vent. So as you ladies know, DH and I are trying to move back to Atlanta. We have sorta set June 1st as our timeframe knowing that it could change. Well, DH has been applying for jobs as he sees them posted online - most posting will be listed probably this month and next month. He sent out a resume packet to about 25 schools yesterday. He also met with our priest on Monday to ask him for a recommendation letter or call to a couple Catholic schools he is interested in. Our priest of course doesn't want to see us go, but also said that he would do whatever we needed him to. In fact, he said that he could probably get a letter of recommendation from the Cardinal! So, hopefully that will happen soon and something good will come of that. We could certainly use some good news.
I have been trying to see if I can keep my job but just work out of our Atlanta office. It seems like it shouldn't be that big of a deal - my entire job is computer/network based so I can essentially do it from anywhere. Well, I talked with my boss yesterday and he said his boss isn't too keen on the idea. He did say that the door isn't closed on it, he just has to continue to talk to her and stuff. But that he also didn't want to hold me back from applying for other jobs. So, yea. That took the wind out of my sails - we had kinda been banking on me being able to keep my job.
Now, we're looking at both of us trying to get jobs which isn't going to be easy. And I just feel like it's not going to happen and I'm going to soooo upset if it doesn't. I don't want to be in New England anymore - it's not the place for us. I don't want to let DH know that I'm upset about this because he's already upset and I'm trying to be the strong positive one.
And two of my good friends, one still lives in Atlanta, don't seem very supportive. The one who doesn't live in Atlanta anymore doesn't understand why anyone would want to live there, and the other keeps wondering why DH would want to move back. That and she felt the need to say that jobs in education down there are going to be really hard to get. Ya, we know. Education is a rough industry to be in ANYWHERE. But we'd rather be living in a place that we want to be in and be happy, then just suck it up and deal and not enjoy life.
Ugh. I don't know. I could keep rambling but I'll spare you ladies. This is already long enough! Thanks for letting me vent!!
