I've got to find my social security card and I remmber putting it someplace "safe" but I don't know where that was.

Find ~ma to you, askye. I think that "somewhere safe" is on the same beat as "the dryer" for those gnomes that steal your socks.

Happy Anniversary Aimee and MM!!

So the district manager calls me today saying he got "An anonymous tip, and heard from several of my employees" that I was planning on leaving because my boss had told me that I'd be fired eventually anyway. Now A) She did say that he had told her that she would have to give me an unsatisfactory review in a month. (We aren't making our sales plan.) but B) She didn't say it around any employees and C) Even if she did, who the fuck's going to bother calling the DM with that? And, I'd had a long discussion with him on Thursday in which I admitted to him that I hadn't made my mind up yet as to what I'd be doing next.

So, he tells me that he'd expect it from other people, but was floored to hear it about me. I, of course, lie, and say that I'd never heard such things! (I did. But they didn't make my mind up for me.) He spent more time trying to get me to say something bad about my boss, which I don't get because, dude, she resigned. It's over. Move on.

Anyhoodle, I assured him that were I to be leaving at any point, it would be for the reasons we'd previously discussed and not petty gossip, and that I was very disturbed by my staff talking like that. I just can't wait to be done with all this. Bangs head against wall.

I got very good news today. Kara is going to get to go to the free preschool in the fall!

WOO HOO!!!

Hec, I'm sorry you're workday sucked. I hope the situation is resolved with as little stress for you as possible.

Find~ma, Askye.

Deena, could you hop on AIM for a minute?

Oooh, thanks, Jessica!

runs off to snabble pretty pictures

Hate to say it, but it sounds as if your bosslady was badmouthing you to the staff. or she did so to someone who extrapolated and gossiped.

"Eternal" planes to watch over us.

Jessica's sunset pictures are amazing and the lilybean is gorgeous.

Yay on school, Deena. This was the optimal Preschool Outcome, right?

Yes! It was the one I wanted her to get in to, both because I like the people and because they provide transport.

Deena, could you hop on AIM for a minute?

Kristin, I think I can get you a Legoland dragon of your very own.

Cass! I am bouncing up and down now.

Not here though. Sleep now.

I (finally) finished HP6 tonight. I want to read the literary thread but am woefully behind. Anyone here that can link me to the beginning of the HP talk?

Duh - I just jumped to the date the book was released.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEENA!!!!

And yay for preschool news!

{{{Hec}}} So sorry for the sucky day. I hope today is better.

I just e-mailed someone who offered me a job at the beginning of summer. I'm sure all of the positions are filled, but just in case, I thought I'd follow up with him.

Lilty & hec- sorry for sucky jobs and sucky bosses with sucky communication.

Now that things are calm, life here at my job is OK, except for Annoying!Co-Worker, but what can ya do. Annoying people are everywhere!

I am PMS-ing hard, I hate it. I feel awful about my body, and my tounge and teeth hurt, and I just feel generally completely uncomfortable all the time.

Last night we got the last of the flatpacks upstairs. By "we" I mean "Tom." I sat on my yooge ass and organized piles of papers/mail, caught up on the itemization of our expenses, and wrote some checks. Hopefully tonight we can start building the entertainment center so our sitting room looks halfway decent by the weekend.

ETA: Happiest of Happy Birthdays to the lovely Deena, and I am happy for the plan of Kara going to pre-school in the fall! For you and Kara!
