Wednesday....snow f-ing Wednesday

[doriswe]

It's ANOTHER snow day here. They're predicting 6-9 inches. This is on top of the 28" we got in the first 20 days of February. Thank goodness I'm working from home and planning to stay in my pjs all day. My kid is never going to graduate at this rate lol. 

I'm less than a month out from Mexico, so I'm trying to focus on that, but my mood is just blah lately. No motivation to do anything. Stupid winter!

Snow day here, too! Just a few inches of snow, but we're supposed to get a nice 1/2" layer of ice around lunch time, so I'm working from home in my yoga pants and catching up on vacation laundry in between conference calls. I'd so much rather still be in 84* Florida right now.

Where on earth is doglove? It's her WEDDING WEEK!!!!!! Heck, it's down to just a few days now!

Horray for doglove. That is exciting.

It's raining here, and supposed to rain all week. It's making me so meh.

I try to check in, but things have been nuts! We have a new main manager and now the manager under him just resigned. We all knew it was coming since he wasn’t promoted, but it couldn’t be any worse timing than now. Our admin is also going on interviews. My brain is trying to focus on keeping up with work and keeping track of all the things for this weekend.

I make all the cupcakes tomorrow and my good friend that I studied abroad with in Australia comes into town tomorrow to drive out with me to the mountains on Friday!

I’ve got my list of what to pack done and A leaves tomorrow to meet some friends for a short hiking/camping bachelor trip.

Did I tell y’all that we are adopting our foster dog? I haven’t told the rescue yet, we wanted to wait to get through the wedding. I’m sure they won’t be surprised. He’s basically become one of the family after all the hard work we all have gone through with him. Plus he’s a big mushy boy and I love those!!!

Aaah doglove I'm so excited for you!! For your wedding week and for your new addition to the family.



I've been quiet because shit is going down at work. I fucked up and was 4 minutes late yesterday (thanks, eye issues) and the writing is on the wall that if I don't get out soon, they'll force me out. So last night I applied for 2 jobs and I'm going to apply for at least 2-3 more today. I'm probably putting in my resignation today and am trying to decide how long a notice to give, since I'm resigning without a job lined up yet. I'm thinking 2 months, which gives me time to mostly wrap up with my clients and take care of meetings and responsibilities. But that's the crap in my brain right now.

doglove, congrats on the upcoming wedding AND the new addition to your family!

tiramisu, I'm sorry

I'm a little bummed because the rescue group already found a foster for the puppies. Whomp whomp. They tried to get me to apply to be a regular foster but I'm not sure. Nora can be so dog specific and I was kind of looking forward to a short time commitment. I did offer to take doggie pictures for them for their website and they seemed excited about that.

tiramisu I'm so sorry your work situation is getting worse. I have my fingers crossed you'll find something much better for you.

So sorry, tiramisu. I hope you find something perfect very soon!

doglove, so exciting on both fronts! I have to say, I'm not surprised at your newest foster fail. Seeing the photos on FB, he seems like part of your family already. What's his name? Also, please share wedding details!!!

My Wednesday isn't bad. I woke up vowing to take a walk on the beach today. Right now though it looks pretty nasty out there. Grey and rainy. I might just put on a rain coat and deal.

I read something today that says to build confidence you should make one commitment to yourself every day and stick to it. This way you teach yourself you are reliable and can keep a promise. It struck me that its a good thing to try. I mean, I have things I need to get done each day but intentionally making one commitment to myself each day sounds interesting. So, I'm going to try it. That's my contribution to the class this Wednesday

Thank you all, ladies! I've only applied to two jobs so far, and of course because I haven't heard anything in 24 hours, I'm stressing myself out. But it'll all be okay, I know. Somehow. The idea of not being back at my current job makes me feel light and relaxed. As cuddlyevil especially knows, this place has been toxic for me for a while. There's a lot of negativity that only seems to be getting worse within my department's leadership team, not just towards me but towards a lot of our staff. It really will be for the best in the end, even though the transitional stage is hard and really uncomfortable. I think I needed the kick in the ass to finally get moving and work on getting out of there.

[cuddlyevil]

Yep, I've been telling tiramisu to get out of there for a while. I know that you're going to find something great and will be much happier.
