Two things Thursday.

[bullygirl979]

Gimme two things on this Thursday morning.

[bullygirl979]

1) I'm frustrated with my company as I went to go pick up my prescriptions last night and couldn't because my insurance termed. WTF?! When I called my insurance company, sure enough my employer didn't send over my 2019 information. UGH. So I get the pleasure today of trying to get this all straightened out.

2) It's 64 and sunny here today. I think I'll vent my frustrations through a lunchtime run and a drive after work. I am seriously loving my new car. It is so fun to drive.

1. Getting older is stupid. Really fucking stupid. Plus I still feel like I'm 15, so this hormonal stuff is bullshit. Hot? Cold? Moody? Exhausted? Insomnia? I'm over it!

2. I have a plan to get caught up at work which takes a huge weight off of me. Plus my new supervisor loves my "I do what I want/ask for forgiveness vs. permission" attitude.

1. Leaving for Italy tomorrow.

2. Lots of stress between dad and selling house.

Jealous mags! Any offers yet??

I baked the majority of my cakes last night (38 out of 50) so my goal is to do one and a half more batches tonight so all I have to do to is frost on Friday evening. A was helping me chop strawberries last night, which helped with the process. I’m glad I nixed the idea of a strawberry purée middle and instead just went for strawberry cake with strawberries folded in. Yum! Saves me time not doing the middles.

I’ve been bad about running the past week or so, it’s just gotten so hot here after work (85+) and I just don’t want to be kisers me but can’t seem to get up early either. Hopefully I’ll be back on track next week.

I have a very special place in my heart for taking baths on vacation....especially in fancy tubs! 

[SwimDeep]

When it comes to vacations and fancy bathtubs, I'm all over it. Hope you enjoy, mags!

I'm a spaz again today...ended up going for a run yesterday which helped with the physical energy a little bit but not so much with the mental energy. My brain is going 10,000 miles a minute. I NEED IT TO STOP.
I slept like crap last night - awake every hour. I want to do ALL THE THINGS right now, and I'm trying to make myself just sit down and focus on work, which is gut-wrenching...might be time for another run...

[chalupa]

mags I hope your vacation is amazing (and you can get away from the stress for a while).

My skip-level manager (who has been a PImyA for quite some time now) just gave his notice. I am not sad about it, but unfortunately 3 months' notice is standard at his level, so I'm not rid of him yet.

In 48 hours we'll be landing in Mexico for vacation. I'm hoping to pack tonight so we can go see Avengers tomorrow night before we leave.

mags have a great time, and fingers crossed on some bites for your house.

I'm stressed out lately. In the last three weeks i have had to personally fire three people, which for me is draining and makes me sad, even if they did it to themselves (true in all 3 cases). It's also the busy season around here, so extra crazy on top of it. Lots of resignations which leads to more recruiting.

Consequently i have had two phone interviews in the last week to see what other opportunities might be out there.

[tiramisu]

1. My pre-employment meeting is scheduled!! Next Tuesday at 2pm, so I'll be skipping out of work early for a vague appointment. My boss knows about the swelling and the running of tests, so hopefully she won't give me too much trouble about it.

2. I'm in some dating support kinds of groups on FB and in one, some of the women are *so* committed to making terrible choices and ignoring everyone's advice that it reminds me of old-school knot/nest beebee days. It took everything I had to not tell one of them "well, just remember when it all goes to shit because you've discovered he'd been lying to you for months AGAIN that we all told you that would happen."

Got a bunch of errands completed today, yay. Tomorrow will be much the same and then working International Night at the school. SO far, very few people have told us they are bringing dishes, so it shall be interesting.

I need to damp mop my screened porch floor; the pollen dust is incredible. Other than that not much going on. I really need to re-do my resume, hopefully with a friend's help and then start looking in for real for a job. I almost thinking temp work through the summer would be ideal and then starting for real come September. That way I get some experience and I can still have time with the girls because if not, i need to look for a girl to watch the girls during the day. :/

Temp roles are a great idea! You got this.

If you ever need help with resume stuff or an extra eye, feel free to reach out.

I think I am going to work on a functional resume. It has been ten years since I have worked full-time, but I have been on boards, a troop leader, etc. Really, it is remembering previous jobs that i need to work on. lol But, I will take you up on it. my aunt is also a job coach, so she will be helping me too. I think temping this summer can get me experience and yet, will not mean needing full time summer help with the girls, but it will bring in money, then transition to full-time this fall. I need to do this so we can slowly start creating our budgets and separating some finances. I think we at least found a decent apartment at a good price, for our area, so that is something.
