Feh

Okay…so here’s my attempt at making time to post an entry. It’s 10:47 pm, and I should go to bed, but I feel a bit guilty about saying I’d post something and then not following through yet. In brief answer to peteliske’s hope that my hectic has been a good one, for the most part it hasn’t been.

Here’s the longer (and still not detailed) version of it. I’ve been way overloaded at work. I’ve been given more responsibility than I have time in the week.  It made me short a few people the hours I was supposed to give them, and one of them elected to rip me a new one for it. I decided then and there that I didn’t like working for him (busting my ass for months, then falling back a week or two does NOT make it my fault if your business is failing). Thankfully, as of last week I no longer have to deal with him. My co-worker, Mandy, finally got fully licensed and contracted, so she was able to take up where I was leaving off. I’ve been doing WAY more training than usual. Thanks to that last trip to home office, everyone seems to think I’m already some sort of software expert…and I’m not. Today was the first day in weeks that I actually gave the correct amount of time to my primary ‘boss.’ I was so excited, I forgot what I was originally tasked to do once I’d completed my time for him.

I’ve been gaining a lot of weight back (some of which can be attributed to stress eating), but tonight was my first weigh-in in 2 months where I’d lost weight. I went back down 2.6 pounds. I haven’t looked at where that puts me because I’m a little nervous to know just how far back I slid, but I’ll deal with it. I have a co-worker, Charity, who is looking into joining Weight Watchers as well, so I’ll look at that as added motivation to keep it up.

Money sucks. That’s really all I can say about that. Oh…and I barely have enough of it right now to make ends meet. How that works when I got an 8% raise in October, I don’t know. It must really be sucking for people who didn’t get raises at all.

Matt…well…things are good with Matt, but my roommate doesn’t like him much right now. He doesn’t meet her standards when it comes to how he treats me. Not to say he treats me poorly…it’s just that he doesn’t put quite as much effort into things as I do right now…and she feels upset that she doesn’t know him well…which is a valid concern. *shrugs* I don’t know. I really need to talk to him about it, but that means facing a conversation my gut treats as confrontational…and that makes me not want to do it. Someday I’ll get over this. I promise. Just not now apparently.

That’s really all the update I can give. I need my sleep since it froze tonight post-precipitation. I’ll have to wake up earlier in the morning to make sure I can get in to work on time…stupid people and their stupid tendency to freak out over nothing.

I hope all of you are doing well. I miss you all.
