I had a feeling that the person filling in for me during maternity leave was going to drop the ball on the few things, based on previous experiences with him. I had no idea that he was going to do nothing that I asked him to. I just sent him an email asking if he could update me on the status of a few documents that I asked him to finish while I was out. His response: I didn't do them. Sorry.

I'd be pissed. I'd make sure that my boss knew that the reason the documents were late.
I interviewed for a job on 7/10. 7/14 they contacted me to say the other candidate backed out and HR was requiring them to interview one more person. I followe dup on 7/21 and I have received no response. I want this job, or at least to hear something!
Something happened at work yesterday and my whole professional world is rocked. I honestly don't know what to do and feel so betrayed. If it's true I don't know how I can face my customers. I will feel like a fraud to them. I spent years building relationships and showing them my office can do the work and support them. I've been tearing up off and on since I got home last night. I don't even know if I can go to HR about it.
The curtain installer was an hour late today. Granted, she knows I work from home, and it actually doesn't matter, but dude. Call me. But I'm excited to finally have new, pretty curtains in our living room and bedroom! Although custom curtains are NOT MM.
My brother and SIL had their first baby exactly one week ago today. My mom texted him to ask when her and my dad could stop by for a visit. My brother responds with any time after two...and why don't you bring the fixings for margaritas, I have some tequila.
Not sure if that is a good sign or a really bad one as to how their first week is going.
I just don't have it in me to deal with work crap today! I'm coping by taking myself to lunch and strategically leaving for lunch so I don't have to see one of our insufferable staff members when I get back. At least it's Friday!

Um, WHAT?! That is a completely unacceptable response!
I am working on a staff report for a massive project and just don't have the energy for it today. I would have rather stayed home to clean my house, including scrubbing the bathtubs. At least then my effort would be rewarded with results.
It is supposed to be crazy hot here the next two days but in the 80's all next week. I will suffer through two killer days of a whole week of gloriousness. Also, we had friends bring us over the cutest Vegas themed basket to ask us to stand up with them at their wedding in Vegas later this year. It has mini bottles of booze, lottery tickets, those foil wrapped chocolates, etc. I am going to enjoy it for a while before we take it apart.
I'm a cranky person in the mornings to begin with, and today he was coughing non-stop (I know it's not his fault, but still) and following me around with his laptop to show me funny videos. LEAVE ME ALONE.
I'm like this at bedtime, and my H is always calling me to his computer to watching something that's funny. NO. I don't want to, and it's not that funny anyway!! And turn off your music because I can't deal with noise at bedtime!!!
And my H leaves for vacation tomorrow! It's his annual event (Pennsic for anyone who knows). Yes, I'm excited to have the house to myself. I can do whatever I want, only worry about laundry or dishes for myself, and eat cereal for dinner. I have so many outings and house things planned. Too bad I'm out of town next weekend for my own annual event (a garden gathering), so the cats will be boarded then.

I am procrastinating by reading blogs. Reading one now where the blogger and her family (H and 2 young kids) went on an rv vacation for the past 5 weeks (my personal nightmare, BTW. lol) and she posted pics of the clean/real food meals she made along with vacation pics. So interesting!
I start a new job on Monday that doubled my salary! I am excited!
The other day on the bus to work, I overheard a man take a phone call. He didn't get a job because he never graduated high school and was in the process of getting his GED. After he got off the phone, he started to cry. I felt so bad for him and it made me extremely grateful for the life I have. I hope he finds a job soon.

Congrats on the new job! I liked your post for that part, but the part about the guy crying is so sad. I hope he gets something soon.

Still not long enough to wait. Sorry, Friend. Good luck in hearing good news soon:)

They have to be done by the end of August, when I talked to my boss today, I let him know that nothing was done while I was out. He was pissed, then in the same breath told me that I should really try to get them done because my bonus would be impacted if they weren't.

What a great way to start back!
I need a new job.
That makes me even more annoyed for you. Your bonus shouldn't be impacted because this asshole didn't do anything while you were out. But at least you can spend the next few weeks hounding his ass to finish them.

Nope! Since I am now back at work, they are my responsibility!

:::grumble, grumble::: I guess the bright side is that you know that they will be done properly.

I want to do something for my birthday when I'm in WA/OR, but I don't know what to do. Anyone have any suggestions? Also, I hope that maybe I can find a house or at least look at a few rental properties when I am there.
Somebody stole my gym bag at lunch today. Waah! Thankfully nothing of value was in it, just my heart rate monitor, a pair of yoga pants, and some running socks.
As a result I am at work in a smelly, neon green workout shirt, so, that's a thing.

Where in WA / OR are you moving?
Most likely Vancouver/Portland. But I am also looking into Salem, Or. I'd most likely transfer to a shop in Portland.
