Half way through, where is everyone?? 

I have nothing exciting happening today but hopefully things are going well for everyone.

I'm "off" today, but really I'm just working from home. I've rewritten two SOPs this morning.

My bro is still in town and he and the kids are coming to pick Tman and me up in a bit to spend some time downtown. I'm glad he wants to hang out before he goes back on Friday. I wish James could get off early and go with us.

Other than that, not much today. I have the heat cranked up, though. It's like Fall!

I worked "late" yesterday, and went home and worked out for 20 minutes before making dinner and everything else... AND this morning MiMi had a fit when I left her at daycare, something that has never happened before. I told H about it. H insinuated it was because I worked late, worked out, and didn't spend enough time with her. MOMMY GUILT IS REAL. THIS SHIT SUCKS.

Oh and I have to work late today, because I need to be home tomorrow so the appraiser can come out, for our refi.

I got poopy news at work. The position I should be promoted to, is going to a college-aged guy who will be a summer temp for the position, he's a family friend of the family who owns the company. Allegedly I'm "so good" at my position, they don't want to take me out of it. I know I'm really effing good at my particular position, but I'm also really good at all the other stuff that gets thrown my way. My ego/heart/whatever is really hurting today.

Im home, doing piles of laundry and gearing up to hit the gym. After a few days of over eating I need to get back on track. Headed back to work tomorrow after taking a few days off for my birthday. Its been fun!

madDawg228 That really really sucks. What are they doing about it after the summer and cronyism is over?

I decided after talking with my counselor last night that yeah, my friendship has hit its expiration date with that friend. It kind of sucks in that we had sooo much in common and could have a lot of fun, but more often than not, it started becoming a drain and it could only continue in a vastly different aspect than it's been, which I don't think she would accept. I just have to figure out how to craft a response to her in a way that doesn't suck me back in.

Amazon had a glitch over the weekend and H nabbed a Paperwhite Kindle for only $20! It arrived and I used it last night and I like it almost as much as a book (compared to the Kindle Fire which was too blue-screen for me). Work is slow, I don't know how much that is going to change! Oh well, once I start my next class on the 28th, it will provide plenty of time for me to work on the drawing assignments.

Have to figure out Father's day something or other even though I don't feel like going through all that. They go to church on Sundays and freak out about traffic and H and I are counting calories but the only thing that sort of works is doing a lunch out (unless we do old people dinner at like 4-5pm).

I don't like to use swears, but this is BS!  It is so unfair.

Hello!

That's terrible, madDawg228!! I'd be really upset too. Being good at your job shouldn't hold you back from a new opportunity. It should prove that you're a good employee, and should be all the more reason for advancement. I'm sorry!

Not much happening here. I have a date with K tonight. We're making dinner, and watching a movie. I'm looking forward to a chill night with him. Though... now he just texted kind of hinting that he wants to check out a brewery.

The new job is going great! I'm so busy at work, I love it. But... it doesn't leave much time for GBCN or emailing/texting/g-chatting with friends. The nerve of work! Haha

Happy Humpday!

[madDawg228]

Thanks, @ksta, llh0211, georgeharrison, the situation is pretty crummy and I'm not looking forward to a summer of training and hand-holding a 18-20 year old who is besties with the boss. The state of affairs is uncertain once Summer Break is over, I can't really get a straight answer from anyone, but I am getting some supportive words from CWs (non-managers) who see how I'm getting the short end of the stick.

madDawg228, they pull that here at my work a lot too. I see guys and girls who are really good at their jobs and thus they get passed over for promotions. Personally, I would be like f--- all these b----- and look for new jobs. Lots of hugs though my heart goes out to you

minion, I think Mimi is having an off day or going through a stage or something. I think you are spending as much time as possible with her. Hugs!

Work is going good I like the off shift. I set up a date with H for Saturday to go see Warcraft. He is excited and I had a reward from iPic for a free premium plus seat (the recliner ones) so it was cheap.

spunbutterfly, that would give me serious problems. I mean I heard the story and remember just talking to H about it and it pissed me off... and this fetus in me is our first! Ugh I hope that it was not your guys daycare. hugs.

When I worked at the Y our boss hired this guy that gave most of the staff the creeps... turns out he was fired from a Y 10 years before for molesting another staff member. I just remember that we would not let him near any of the kids to sub. He gave off a f---- up vibe. I am glad he was only there for a few weeks.
