I get to work this morning and couldn't get my laptop to come up. My screens would come on. I unplugged my laptop and went to two different offices and still could not get my laptop to turn on. FINALLY, I did something right and it came up. I usually leave my computer "on" when I go home, so that I save time to clock in when I come in. Unfortunately, I "lost" about 20 minutes this morning trying just to get the computer to come up. I finally got clocked in, pulled the two reports I need to send out. And sent them out. Or thought I did. Eventually I got an email from one of the supervisors stating, "uh.... I think you forgot the attachment..." yep, that is exactly what I did - or rather, didn't do. I forgot the attachment. No problem. I resent.
Yesterday was my precious Aunt Sue's 95th birthday and we went to a lunch in her honor. What a sweetheart. It was so good to be with those who love her like I do. We had a great time, and all of us kept sitting around waiting for our bill to come .... and it never did. After inquiring, we found out that Aunt Sue paid for everyone's lunch. I had to laugh, and I told Aunt Sue that I must have inherited that trait from her. Although we aren't really related, just adopted. I have no problem with buying everyone's dinner when I invite them out - just because that is what I want. AND I plan to do it this year for my children and their families - so if they read this, be prepared. I think I will make it in to TWO parties.... or maybe even three..... just cause I can spend more time with each family and not be caught up with one or another.
Oh yeah, my big brother's DIL finally had the baby - after being in labor about 36 hours, the doctors decided to do a C-section. Seriously! But a beautiful baby girl was produced - and I had to remind my big brother that although she was beautiful, she doesn't come close to my great-granddaughter's beauty. I can tell already we are going to have some challenges. LOL
Need to get to work - things are already crazy for Monday morning.
Blessings!

Waiting, waiting...waiting....
Been waiting over 24 hours for my big brother to call me. Or text me. Seems his DIL went into labor yesterday morning - and still has not delivered. I just sent him another text to ask ... he's already calling her "Stubborn Evelyn" because she hasn't arrived yet. I feel for his DIL if she is still in labor! As of this morning, her water had broke, but no baby as of about 6AM. It is now nearly 1PM so I am hoping when he responds it will be with good news.
Work has been going so-so. LOL I had some people going this morning. I didn't mean to. I decided my cluttered desk needed to be cleaned off. Since we had lost the one contract, I didn't need to hold on to all those papers anymore.... decided to let them go. So I cleaned out my file drawer and lots of folders on my desk. It does look a lot better. I'd love to do the cleaning at home - and when I'm alone and can focus, I just might. Unless I get real energetic and just do it! I have always been a paper hoarder - afterall, if you destroy that paper, it's gone. I need to go through things and just shred them. In fact, I have a bag full of papers to be shredded. I got started on it a couple weeks ago and filled two trash bags and was only about 1/3 of the way through the bag! I need to keep at it for it would certainly clean up some areas. I did take some papers out of the file cabinet a couple weeks ago when I was looking for something.... and then I put them back about a week ago when we were expecting someone over and wanted the house clean.
It's hard to plan for a deep cleaning when I'm still working. But I suppose I may as well. In about 5 years I want to sell the house - I think - and I don't want to take any of these things with me. I want to get rid of papers and a lot of other things.
I need to start telling my kids if there is anything they want, they need to let me know. If I'm not using it, they can take it with them. If I am, then I'll make sure it's written down that they get it. I know my daughter has already told me she wants my grandmother clock, but she will have to wait until I die for that one. The boys haven't mentioned anything. They probably don't care.
Well, guess I had better get back to work - my lunch 'break' is about over. I've been doing pretty good about clocking in and out. Thursday I will be gone an hour or so - I'm taking two of my admin friends out to lunch for their birthdays. We finally scheduled a day this morning. It will be fun to hang out with them for a little while.
Hope you are having a good day.... in the meantime, I'm still waiting on a response from my big brother.... nothing yet.
Blessings!

Making Changes....sometimes is easy....sometimes it's not....
I'm sitting here at work eating veggie pretzels after lunch and listening to a coworker talk about her husband. It IS kind of funny.... but I can understand her frustration. Truly I can! Her husband grilled hamburgers - and put the cooked hamburgers back in the wrapper from the butcher. And didn't secure the wrapping. So when she opened the refrigerator, not only were the semi-wrapped burgers staring her in the face, the odor of cooked burgers was throughout the refrigerator. Gotta just sit here and shake my head.
I'm struggling today. I don't really want to be here today. I'm somewhat bored, and my new boss just doesn't talk much to me. Others have noticed it too. That my new boss doesn't talk to me, that is. In fact, one was commenting this morning how well my former boss and I worked together - she would let me know when she got here, always said good morning, and if she had to run off anywhere, was sure to let me know. Also, she would pass on things to me to work on. We would sit and chat to catch up on life and work. We had built a great relationship over the years.
I'm trying to build a relationship with this one, but she is "closed", if you can understand what that means. Thus far, it hasn't been fun working with her. Or for her. She ignores me for the most part. She will chat with her buddy behind me (I've discovered this supervisor will also run to her with everything and tattles on people!!) so now I have to watch what I say out loud, and to whom. I had shared something a few weeks ago with another employee nearby about another employee - no, not gossip, just sharing what had transpired on something. The supervisor ran and told the person I was talking about that I was talking about her. Seriously? It wasn't anything I couldn't have said to her face - and did - but the point I am making is that this supervisor is a tattletale and sits right behind me so I have to watch myself now.
Which also takes the fun away. I think I will need to start looking for another job. I have been hoping that my former boss can find a place for me there, but nothing has come up yet. If I find something else first, I won't leave to work with her, but I'm hoping - and praying - that something will come up before Christmas. Or that things change here. Respect goes a long way.
Need to get back to work - lunch time goes by quickly. Yeah, my new boss is making me clock in and out for lunch now. Before I didn't unless I actually left for lunch with someone. Now I have to even if I work through lunch. So - I sit here and eat my lunch and type a letter or make some notes on here, read a little or whatever, and then clock back in. I wish they would just make me salaried and then it wouldn't be an issue. I got chewed out last payroll because I had overtime. Oh well. Get over it. I will always have overtime or I can start going home around 2 or 2:30 everyday. I have to come in early to get reports sent out - although my new boss has told me she doesn't know why I am the one sending out the reports. So - it wouldn't surprise me if she gave that 'job' to someone else.
Fine. If she wants me to come in later and work just 8 hours, I can do that. Grumble. Why can't life be simple. 7 more years, is what I keep telling myself. I don't think I can handle 7 more years here under this boss.
Trusting God to show me favor.
Blessings!
