I came in this morning and the admin in the cube next to me had her music on. She never used headphone and its not my type of music. Worse. Her stations changed to Christmas music.
At least today is my last day sitting next to her. Yay!
I used a recommendation for a cleaner from an acquaintance. She wanted to clean on a Saturday morning -- didn't work for me. Then she suggested 6pm the night before Thanksgiving. Also not working for me. Today she was supposed to come at 10, and she cancelled this morning bc her son is sick.
I feel bad, but this has been going on 3 weeks now. I need a reliable cleaner whose schedule gels with mine. I joined Care.com today to find someone. And I swear once I find someone, I will treat them like gold because this constant search SUCKS. But I feel terribly guilty even though I have never met this person!
I turned in a leave request so I can be go to Louisiana for my sister's graduation. My boss questioned me on it and asked if it was necessary and if I needed that long. I've never had a boss question me like that before. Most of my bosses have encouraged me to use my leave because I tend to hoard it.
I'm having trouble getting into the holiday spirit. Purchasing gifts stresses me out especially since funds are extremely tight for us I feel like a scrooge.
I have an extra 60 minutes I need to plan for because our science unit is over. I thought that I could use our COWS ( computers on wheels) today. It might just end up being disastrous.

Good Luck rpb! I'm sure everything will be fine!
DH thought it would be funny to have "Sexy and I know it" as his ringtone. His dad had to run to the bank quick while we were visiting and grabbed DH's phone by accident. DH was trying to find it a little while later so he called it. His dad was in the middle of a very crowded lobby when it when off at full volume.
I have so much ish to finish at work before the end of the year, I hope I can get it all done since I have to rely on others to get me info. I hate relying on others.
I just joined a running group, and our first group run was this am. It was awesome and set such a great tone for today! I feel like I'm finally out of my slump.
Eta--stjess, that picture is beautiful! It made me tear up.
Also, we had family photos done a month ago because my dad has cancer and we haven't had pictures in awhile. My photog sent me a sneak peak of Alissa and my dad. Love it so much.
Thanks, tacom. I know you are right. I complained to my therapist that I was worried that this was going to jeopardize my job. He said "in three years, this will just be a blip."
My random is that I've been thinking about cat #2 all morning. Had to take her to the vet again yesterday (this time for vomiting blood, probably from an ongoing bout of pancreatitis). Thankfully escaped the vet with a $79 bill for subcutaneous fluids and amoxicillin. And my poor kitty who looked like a hunchback. On the bright side, she was back to normal by bedtime and happy to get lots of extra attention.

Oh RBP that sounds like some serious backtracking on the committee's part. I'm not sure if I would be more upset at their unprofessionalism or the fact that they can't communicate what they're looking for specifically.
I would just go through the motions with your advisor, have asshole writer review it so you can say he did.
