one WHHEEEEEK to go.....

The ominous countdown begins:Our office goes live in one week with implementing the new system. Ominous? WE'RE NOT READY AND OUR PARTY GOT CANCELLED :( Yes I'm pouting because we have to be adults and put work ahead of everything else since no one else did. Dummies. We've been patiently waiting to get our groove on and now we have to stay tomorrow to cram for next week. BAHLARNEY (honey's favorite cuss word around howit) My new favorite is REDONKULOUS. The "nk" gives it the umph you need sometimes! Anywhoo, we were going to have an end of allergy season/get ready for the next chapter party for our office just us girls and now it's off. GGRRRRRRRRR It was going to be an upptiy-up redneck drinking party (hummus, falafel, mcnuggets and french fries!) With Cowgirl Quenchers Yummy!
And in unrelated matters, why do friends think they can screw you over financially? Why is this OK? Why are honey and I seemingly easy targets? We're nice, take our cash? BAHLARNEY! BRO may have taken him for a ride and not in a good way and 20ish years of friendship should have more respect than that. Friendship should have more respect than that. Not cool. He's screwed me over in the past. I hate being jaded towards people, especially about money. UGH. NOT COOL.
Time for chores. I thought being a grown up there wouldn't be chores anymore-shouldn't I at least get a pay increase? HELLO?????? Is there a manager I could talk to about this? Wish me WHHHEEEEE

Push my buttons

All at the push of a button! Boy can the push of a button make or break somebody!! It made honey, howit and I lose medical benefits for the weekend-not our fault-we're all good-somebody pushed the wrong button. Push the wrong button and you can delete a whole hour's/day's/week's worth of work, right? I know you can always save it, but you have to push a button for it, am I right? Push the CORRECT buttons and things run smoothly. Why, we may not be in such turmoil as a nation. Pick up the phone, PUSH A BUTTON and call somebody to communicate something and quick simple little things might stay quick simple little things. All at the push of a button (or seven?)
Yes I'm going through very hard times right now at work and I'm still loving the best job ever but if the boss can't figure out how to push a button to communicate why the frick is she the boss? I don't begrudge her her position-I don't want it. BUT COMMUNICATION is key. DELEGATE COMMUNICATE PRIORITIZE. Nobody is perfect, and I certainly don't want her to be, but I am so frustrated with the lack of communication UGH!! My BNE pointed out a very positive thing to me though:if I see it, so do the powers that be. They aren't blind. They just aren't vocal. Ok, seems reasonable enough. I can be vocal enough for all. Ready? WHHHEEEEE
