Random stuff
Feb. 5th, 2005 07:48 pmWorked overtime this week and was praised for all of the productivity and then told they want me taking calls for two hours per day. The last time they did that, the emails got so far behind--I had just made some headway and was only three days behind...but--whatever. They wanted me to work o/t on Saturday and because it's such a fucking hassle I usually don't. They did some arm-twisting and I said okay--I figured I'd just suck it up and waste my almost whole day (an hour to get there and an hour back and four hours of work inbetween) and then they dropped the phone bomb on me. So, on Friday I told them I was "reminded" that "we were going to visit hubby's grandma in Winchester with his folks on Saturday, and aww, too bad, I can't come in after all". Fuck them. They want to take me off of emails for ten hours per week and then have me come in on my day off to catch them up? No. Sorry.
Wow, I feel better now.
Anyway, last night I met my friend Vicki at Appleby's for dinner and conversation. Whenever we meet up for dinner, we always occupy the table for several hours. We try to warn the wait-person, but they never believe us...until after the first couple of hours. Heh. We do make it worth their while for taking up their table for that amount of time, though. Anyway the food and conversation was fantastic as usual. We must do that more often!
The family is thinking of having a birthday party for my dad in Ft. Lauderdale on March 19. I cannot find an airline ticket that weekend for less than 315.00--does anyone know why that could be? Is it spring break or something? So, I doubt if I can go. *sigh* I may just have to say "fuck it" and try to go anyway, I mean, it's my DAD for fuck's sake.
Spent a lovely day today with hubby. We went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast, then went to Books-a-Million and bought some reading materials...then after we got home, I sat down and worked on my fic for several hours! Wrote 2500 or so words...then I went back and reread the whole thing and had to edit the bits that were repeating what had gone before. Ugh. I still am going to write a bit more before sending it to my lovely betas. I like it, and I think the readers will be surprised, too. Heh, I'm evil.
Hubby is finally doing some ART. And about damned time, too.
Guess that's it for now. Gonna go read for a bit. *smooches to all her LJ friends and readers*
