Thanks, everyone! You're all very sweet. I'm sad he's gone but glad he's not suffering anymore - he was diagnosed with Lymphoma five months ago and up until about 3 weeks ago, was told the chemo was working and he was well on the road to remission. He stopped all treatment and went to hospice as soon as the MRI showed how bad it was - I feel like it was a ticking time bomb waiting to go off.
On a good note, though, Lucy fucking ROCKED her second early entrance Kindergarten assessment and is being officially recommended for placement. I'm so happy - she's so damn proud of herself and it's adorable.
I am not in a happy place today. It is probably in all of my coworkers' best interest to not talk to me today. I am so fucking annoyed with one in particular and the more I think about it, the more annoyed I get.
BUT, two more days until vacation! I can't wait to go to the mountains for 10 glorious days! We are thinking about hauling the boat with us this time. I think the kids will love it if we do!
I'm up waiting for the electrician and contractor to come and replace the exhaust fan in our bathroom. We've been planning to replace it since we moved in, since the one we have isn't vented properly, and isn't very powerful. I'm hoping they can also put the porch light on a timer, as well.
@lazerus24 do you think you'll be held accountable for loss of sales during renovation, or just have lower bonus/commission? Either way I'd be stressed, but I would hope you aren't penalized for decisions the business made that effected your ability to do your job.
Eh. I talked to my boss and she very clearly spelled out why the revenue was down. Even went back a few years and wrote the progression down for me. I have plenty of backup supporting why it is this way. But still. I'm in a numbers game. This is the first quarter of my life in sales that I won't bonus. I know that's rare but I've always been a hustler. I have no product to hustle right now. Lol.
My boss even said "this is no reason to be concerned" yesterday, but still. This is sales. If it continues for the next two months anyone could change their mind.
We would totally be ok if I lost my job. I just don't want to, Ya know? Lol.
I get 5 glorious days off! Woohoo! Everyone in my house is sleeping now. I'm having coffee.
I am getting nervous about my job. I had a fantastic year last year and this year... It's been tough with the renovations. It's literally impossible to hit the kind of numbers I got last year.
I'm concerned.
What happened with the other job you interviewed for?
It was offered to someone else but I did make it through two rounds. It seemed like a perfect fit in the beginning but after two rounds of interviews I realized might not have been. Different management styles.
There are other jobs. And I would take some time off if I was let go. I'm not stressing. But I've never been in this position. So it's consuming my thoughts a bit.

My mom sent me a text saying "I miss my girl!" I haven't replied.
1: We were just over there on Saturday. 2: It's a half hour drive to get there and I don't feel like it. 3: God forbid I tell her "no thanks," she takes it personally.
