So, this is what life is like in the Big City - or should I say at home in Ventura County...

Today is my first day with no work... and I have to say with as much enthusiasm as I have had for this day, I woke up with less than expected. Monday was my day off from work typically, as my office was closed. So, yesterday didn't really count. But I got up today and did the things I told myself I needed to do before I went to bed. I have not finished them all yet, but I got a pretty good early head start.

I think I realized that I have to create a schedule. With everyday things that must get done around the house, for me and for school/work. I don't start school until August 31st so I have the next two weeks to organize and get things together before they get really busy.

I am actually going to see Legally Blonde Tonight at a theater in the city so I am excited. I guess my day at this point is really revolving around that...

Happy Tuesday!

New Beginnings- My Desk

This is the start of some new things. I have to admit, other than leaving my co-workers at my job, I was sad about leaving my desk... yes, I know that is kind of weird. But I love to be organized and although I had that organized vibe at my office, at home was another story...

I have wanted a new desk for sometime but this weekend we actually got one. It works for now and I am quite excited about it. I have spent the good portion of my day setting it up. I will be making a homegoods run quite shortly to get a nice desk lamp and a few accessories. Only four more days until this new desk because my main desk. I will no longer have that work one to fulfill my organization trip, instead I have this one to fill with my own good things!

It's Friday - But not the 14th

It is getting harder and harder to go out with dignity. As I sit trying to get through the load of work that has been dumped on me I cannot help but think to myself, “Where has all is this work been the past two years?” “And, why now, of all times, when I just want to be done already, is she purposely dumping all of this SHIT – yes shit, on me?"

The answer is because she is an unappreciative, undeserving human being. I have graced her with my goodness these past couple of years and she has failed to see it. That is truly no fault - but her own.

As I was warned by a couple of my co-workers, some of who have been working here for years and who have seen many employees come and go and an x- co worker of mine who recently shut the door on his time at S&R- “She will not make it easy for you.” I was told. It will be a living hell is basically what that translates too.

It is calm right now- my first calm since my notice, but I cannot help but feel that this is indeed the calm before the next storm, or should I say fire that I end up putting out for her. Ach! I am so disgusted.

So, back to that dignity thing. At this moment I am biting my tongue hard and holding back a wave of mixed emotions from flowing out at her. Each moment thinking to myself that this will all soon be over and that the wave of SHIT, yes shit, that I have taken on for the past two weeks will be completely gone when I walk out of the door next Friday.

Until then… happy Friday. I can tell you, next week will be a much happier Friday then this one. Up and on.
