Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Just had my year-end review. I did not get a raise--and not because we are not giving raises, because "my work this year does not merit a raise." I got a $1,000 bonus, which I am not complaining about. I also got to meet with the COO, who told me that "it's not like your job is that difficult."
I am so sick of this place and of HR and can't wait to get out of here.

That place does not deserve you, Scrappy. Ptui.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I also got to meet with the COO, who told me that "it's not like your job is that difficult."
Way to build morale at the end of the year.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Tomorrow we fly to visit my parents in Florida, in their probably-not-very-childproofed condo. (which is also the land of limited internet access for us) Whee.

I AM PUTTING UP THE TREE!
In fact, the tree is up, just nothing else is done yet. I need to spread the branches and get the lights on. If I do that tonight I will be ok with doing ornaments tomorrow.
I had texted mac that I was going to do this tonight, so maybe move his stuff outta that room and ya know do something that would help out. Instead I come home to find him JUST STARTING to do a massive clean out of HIS room. The cleanout entails piling things in the hallway for me to deal with. Consciously or unsubconsciously this was sabotage of my plans. I dealt with the clothes and helped with one thing and then announced that I had plans for my evening and it was not to deal with his mess, so I was going to do what I had planned to do. YAY ME! Instead on continuing his work, he planted himself on the couch in the tree room and is watching tv and eating chips while I moved furniture and put the tree together. so much passive aggression.
I am now taking a wine break.

I wrapped presents for my best friend and his family at the office today, thus ensuring they wouldn't be able to meet up until tomorrow. Exactly as planned, mwah ha ha!
Smeagol, the big alley cat that fathered my Molly, showed up in the parking lot again. Only let me pet him for as long as the cat food I fed him lasted before scampering away, but I suppose if someone patted my head and then whisked me off to be neutered I'd be gun-shy too.

The fuck, Scrappy? Bizarre.

Scrappy, that's uhg.
So my surgeon sent me pictures. It's kinda awesome. You guys get a sneak peek cause I'm keeping it off FB until I can use it to make cards/fauxart at target to give my warped fam for Xmas. You get the gallbladderless version. I'll save that one to put behind a cut cause bloody meatness. Over 5.5 cm long. Surgeon said he was glad I asked for pictures because he was glad to have them. Told them he was welcome to use them however he wanted. Definitely an outlier.
