Little tired. PO'd with my apt management right now. One of our light switches stopped working...in the ON position. and they didnt consider it enough of an emergency to send someone out same day. I swear to go someone BETTER come out today or I might find some sort of law against electrical code or something and do something...idk...im just pissy.

Morning. Bkb did great all night. I'm sure now where playing the waiting game until the pediatrician gets here this morning. We have a referral to Seattle children's for her brain to get checked for epilepsy. She's in great spirits. She managed to get an entire Sophia the first dress up out of us and one of first things she asked this morning is if the mall was open.
We have MIL on the way with Starbucks so we don't need anything right now. Thanks for all your support. I'll keep you guys posted.
So glad little KB is doing better today! Crossing fingers you guys get some clear answers soon.
It's so nice outside and I wish this weather would have shown up for some of the weekend. Hoping to do something outside after work. Just the usual Monday otherwise.

Glad to hear a good update on BKB, karebear219 you are a trooper! I would be a wreck and you seem so cool and calm. I'm sure that's a huge help for her spirits being good.
Back to work today - kind of the same ol', same ol'. Hopefully it is warm enough tonight to have dinner out on the patio (my favorite thing).

I just got into work. I pull all my foods out of my bag when I get in because I kind of just snack at my desk all day and I don't want to be in and out of my noisy bag since I'm in a cube farm. I have yogurt, oatmeal, an apple, a pear, and a nectarine. The fruit looks so good I want to eat it all right now. That was a random thing to share. (Well crap. I just took a bite of the pear and it's super mushy and brown by the core, so that's going in trash. Bummer.)
My toe is looking and feeling so much better. I'm so glad that it wasn't serious. It looked and felt really bad on Saturday, so I was nervous.
The schedule thing is going to suck balls I can already tell. James went to bed late to try to sleep in this morning. I got up and tried to get ready with just the closet light on and ended up taking my stuff into Tman's bathroom instead. The dogs were unusually quiet which is good, and Tman got dressed and brushed his teeth on his own without me having to get him in gear. Overall, pretty smooth for us. But, James will be gone when we get home today so I will deal with everything by myself. I just hope Tman isn't a punk because not having backup is hard in those situations. James will come home around 1am, so well after we are asleep and we will start tomorrow the same way. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday Tman has extra curriculars and those make my day seem excruciating anyway. I think Tman and I will eat out for dinner those nights.
That is if I ever get paid. Guys, I'm still waiting on my pay for April 1-15th! I'm going to be submitting a new invoice today and that will be my THIRD one that accounting has that I haven't received a check for. I need to sign Tman up for summer day camps but I can't because we don't have the money that I EARNED! I'm so frustrated. But, on a better note, today is my first day as an official employee, so I will get a real paycheck direct deposited on the 29th. At least I know I'll have some pay by then. And then eventually I'll get these outstanding checks and it will feel like a windfall.
Sorry for the negativity this morning. The sun is out so that's nice.
I went back to the clinic to get my ear checked out turns out my ear infection has spread all over my ear. I got new drops and was told I should be feeling better real soon. Work is going to suck with this pain and hardly being able to hear.
Oh my goodness georgeharrison I would be raising stink for being behind 3 paychecks. There really is no excuse for that, contractor at the time or not everyone should be paid timely and that is far from it. Hopefully something gets figured out quick!
I ended up getting some crappy sleep the last two nights so I overslept this morning and it has thrown our whole day off. I have a few things to do but I did a ton of my work yesterday. During nap time today I will be planting the last of my stuff into the garden and doing a little weeding. Our lawn really needs to be mowed as well but i'm not sure i'll have the energy to do everything so we will see how far I get.

Exactly. What is their reasoning for WHY you haven't been paid for your time?
I'm pretty exhausted but still surprisingly in a good mood despite that. I think its the sun. Had a nice time at the GTG with all our adorable toddlerSNs yesterday. They are all a pretty sassy bunch! Oh, it was nice to see their parents, too. I stopped at BelleSquare on my way home to get some Nespresso pods, return a bra and hopefully find a new one at Nordies. Worst CS at Nordies ever!! I always go there because i usually have excellent service in their lingerie dept and they have the largest selection. Well, I was walking around with at least 10 bras in my hands and NO ONE EVER SPOKE TO ME or offered help! I went back to the dressing room and some employee kind of rudely asked if I needed a room, let me in to one (didn't pick up the hanger on the floor) and then just left. Um, you're supposed to ask my name and give my yours. No one ever checked on me and I needed help. I stood outside the room with a bra I wanted a different size in and one employee looked at me and walked away. I complained when someone FINALLY deigned to help me at the register and she just kept interrupting me with "I'm sorry" without actually listening to anything i said. That put me in a foul mood because I already hate bra shopping. Oh, and Express only had XS and S in every color of the shirt i wanted to try on.
We went and got food when I got home (5 Guys) and then I sat at my homework from about 6pm until 12:15am. Dude and Dudettes, I'm exhausted. Then it took me an hour to fall asleep thanks to all that blue light. I calculated while lying in bed that I've spent 10-12 hours on this homework and have about half an hour left of prep for my class presentation. I guess I should be greatful my course on Saturday was cancelled...even if I was looking forward to it and drove all the way to Bellevue on Saturday to find out it was cancelled and i hadn't been notified. GRR.
Positive: its sunny! I managed to do my homework! I at least was able to get to Ulta in Factoria and get the new sunscreen I wanted to try (la Roche-Posay) and I'm wearing it today.

Well, we are a start up company so money is running low. We are working on getting more funding, but in the meantime, there is a lot of belt tightening. My invoice goes through accounts payable, not through payroll. So, it's not looked at like a paycheck, it's looked at like paying a bill. So, every other week, they pull the invoices and it looks like they are holding them until the next time. So, instead of me getting paid when that semiweekly check cutting happens, they hold it until the next one...which for a regular bill wouldn't be a big deal, but it's my PAYCHECK. Checks are supposed to be signed on Thursdays and then sent out. If it went out on Friday late, it could take until today to get to my mailbox. If I don't see it by Tuesday, I'm going to have to see what's up. Over a month is ridiculous.
