Here! Happy Thanksgiving :)
Okay so I should put some stuff down here….since "all" stuff is not possible at this point- due to my memory failing me and my gnatsque attention span…sitting here and typing everything that has happened in the passing months would be a daunting task to say the least
Since I am waiting for my first coat of nail polish to dry ill write/type (doing a halloween theme ! hehe)….So ill break this down by category….(sidenote Happy Turkey Day to all my fellow Canadians 🙂
Work
We just finished up yearend….which I realized does not get much easier even if you have done it previously. I did however, get the deductions down to 5 which is "unheard" of….my rebates were all approved- I was complimented on my detail.
I made a fairly large mistake which I had to involve my boss and bosses boss to correct : (go big or go home!) They are very understanding though and since I caught it in time for finance’s yearend they told me it was not a big deal. (I of course thought it to be much worst and apologized….*shrugs* what can yah do 🙂
They are firing people at work….we no longer have a CFO and half a dozen other people are gone (ranging from 13 years to 5 years of employment). People are in a slight panic mode- understandable.
I was training another girl who thinks I am "very patient", "an excellent teacher" and "extremely beautiful" *blinks* After I finished blushing and changing the topic when I could….she continued by telling me that if I had/when I get a boyfriend he is going to be very very lucky. I informed Babado of his apparent "luck" HA! 😉
Regardless of the endless compliments she seems like a nice woman with a drive- I let my boss know that this could turn into something good (since she is just contract right now)
My review will be coming up soon….and I figure if I do not get fired for "restructuring" purposes I am hoping I get promoted….since I already have taken a leadship role with the newest woman and training this next one….I do not see it as a stretch. Mind you have zippo experience in management of anysort and I am fairly young *apparently* so we shall see what they have for me….should be interesting. If not prompted I want an 8% increase- which my parents think is crazy (But they thought the 21ish% raise I got was f’n impossible)
Family
Well since I was just speaking about work…ill go into the convo I had this weekend with my parents. We had thanksgiving up north and so when I drove up on Saturday…when I got there…we ended up having a 2 hr convo about work and my life etc. I apparently should be doing more….or I could be doing more. They figure there is no doubt that I could be a supervisor or manager and I should tell me boss that I would like to be considered for these postions if they become available.
It is not that I do not have a confidence in myself…but um I just think it is not likely that with 40 yearolds that they are going to consider this twenty something girl straight outta university who has been there just over 2 years. Slightly negative I suppose…..However I see it has being realistic. I would not turn down a position if it was offered….but meh I have some thinking to do….about that in general
I told them I want to do things on the side. I want to try cake design, I want to continue to develop my jewlery making, I want to make clothes…..so I need to be able to balance a "stable" job and be able to do my extras. My father wants me to open a business….This is something I have always wanted to do as well…but still have yet to come up with something I would like to open.
My brother has decided to move his girlfriend into his house. *blinks* This girl has a kid from some other dood. Which generally speaking I do not judge however when you are getting with my brother ….it matters? : I am trying to just be happy for him…but this was all sprung on me in the last few weeks very suddenly. My thoughts can not help but race about what a "deal" this girl is getting. My brother is pretty much set for life….and this small town girl just hit a jackpot. I do think highly of my brother (obviously) and my protective radar is going out of control…..I am just trying to deal with it. I already told her if she messes with him I would end her :)….so…If he is happy….I have to be happy- I will get there.
My doda wants to buy a trackor? Don’t ask lol
They are building a boat house upnorth….which is cool but they had to cut down a bunch of trees…which I was not overly thrilled about…
Adonis AKA Babado
I tried to not start with this…since I know I will ramble on. Adonis is offically my "boyfriend" waaaahooooo lol we gave it a title when he came back from Dubai. So September 23 will offically be 5 months 🙂 We have our interesting times….and I can still say he is out of this world fanatastic- he is actually even better…he keeps getting better as the time goes by (how? I stil haven’t figured that part out yet !) As he would say it is not luck…I am extremely fortunate. So, I am fortunate to have him in my life….and oh so thankful. We have had trips to montreal and the falls….we pretty much spend every weekend together. I have met most of his friends…and his cousin. He has helped me grow into a better person…he gives me a perspective that I respect and value grealty.
We still work at the same place together…we keep this secret- especially now with the firing rampage (no need to give reasons). He is looking for another job and I will continue to do the same thing (I am always looking for opportunity 🙂 There is a possiblity that he might get transfered to the States….and he asked me if I would come with him- he would like me to go if it happens. Talk about a jump! I told him I would – which is another "never" thing I said I would do. Adonis has been the cause of many-a breakings of my "oh I would never do that’s" I am okay with it 🙂
He is scared to meet my parents and I still have personal issues that we are currently dealing with…but he makes me all happy on the inside and could not ask for a more incredible human being. He is my star – I love him bunches n heaps.
On that note I am going to go finish painting my nails….since I do have to get ready for bed and he will be calling soon.
Good night all!
**just got off the phone with him and he is okay with meeting my parents….I still have my personal issues lol….going to take me shower n call him back :)**
Sidenote- I painted lil jack-o-lanterns on my nails….quite cute….very time consuming..but worth it 🙂
