Last week H brought up the idea of moving sooner than we had initially planned. We had planned on 5 or so years after we bought our current house, looking into moving into a new build in a new neighborhood. As much as I don't love our current house, I don't think it's wise to only stay in a house you bought for 3 years. Yet, I can't get the prospect of a new home with a better floor plan out of my mind!

I have my annual review today. My boss is taking me to the pub for it at 4pm. And this is why it is good to be friends with your boss.
I have a love/hate at review time. I don't mind the constructive criticism. Who doesn't want to improve? But the forms are long and arduous to fill out, managers are forced to focus more on the negative than the positive and I won't be getting a COL raise since I got my promotion/raise earlier this year.

I am attempting to maintain a sense of humor in dealing with nonsense going on with our gutters. (Which are less than a year old.) And think I have finally reached the stage of sheer anger and frustration. We have another coming out on Wednesday to do an estimate to redo them, it's really frustrating.
And another random, one of our clients from work (who I rarely interact with) sent us stuff off of our registry. My actual work/company hasn't even acknowledged that I am pregnant, other than to freak out about me being out, and my boss being overwhelmed by my job.
*eta: We do Mergers and Acquisitions - meaning the "client" is from a company we are either selling to another company, or setting them up to be buyers of another company.

My old boss/friend just sat down for the last hour and a half and told me pretty much everything that happened the last two weeks while she was out for play then for work. I'm exhausted!

I'm being groomed... I've never been groomed at work before. My boss asked me to fill in for her at a meeting that is attended by the biggest leaders on campus. Most of these people make over double my salary. She told me it would be a great opportunity... Wish me luck and for my networking skills to be working properly.
My new kitty alerted us that she doesn't like the new litter box by pooping on the sofa. Thank god my snuggie was there! I got her a new one and the problem appears to be solved. Damn kitties.
