Today I learned Dick Cheney died a few days ago. So yeah I guess he is irrelevant now.
Matthew and I finally put our bed frame together. And it is always angsty when we do stuff like that. I'm bad at reading diagrams and he is good at it but he has a bad back so I always do most of the work. And then trying to communicate comes down to him telling me stuff and me trying to understand or him helping but he is telling me not to tighten the screws right away. But it got done. And we got the mattress on and I was reading something about how long to let it decompress and I read that you should unbox the mattress within three days of getting it but definitely not let it sit for more than 2 weeks because it can cause structural issues. Or something. And it's been about 2 weeks. Also I accidentally got queen size sheets .
But we went to the comic book store and to dinner and then to get another set of sheets.
What we didn't do was go vote. But the only thing on our ballot was the mayor who ran unopposed and city council and the info I got on the candidates they all pretty much said the same thing about what they would do.
Meara....I think it's a situation of ...oh well the people I know are different, should be treated differently than the rest of the unwashed masses..
I have a coworker and friend who I am trying to put some distance between us because she is totally unhappy with a situation of her own making but she seems convinced that she is being screwed over by the managers. She isn't . She took a transfer/promotion and immediately hated it. A week after she started she was pushing for an exception to transfer back. And she keeps wanting to get another exception to transfer out to another promotion and it's not happening. Partly due, I think, the store and HR manager being busy because we are short 3 management positions.
I've been kind I've been direct but not mean. And she gets defensive. I know she sees a therapist so I've told her she should talk to her therapist about this and I sent her info about Radical Acceptance. What I haven't directly said because it would be really mean is "I'm pretty sure the whole issue is you and your attitude now and the fact that EVERYONE told you not to transfer to that store AND to wait longer than a week. Just learn to deal with the consequences of your actions".
