The weekend is so close, but feels daaayyyys away to me. Didn't sleep great, f was up once and my stomach was a little upset from eating like crap yesterday.
I need to make it a point to get away from the office at lunch today, haven't taken a lunch in almost two weeks and I know I won't be able to tomorrow.
Getting ready for work. Wayne went down super easy but an hour later he was fussing and then screaming. I tried everything to calm him but he didn't want me to do any of it so he carried on for awhile off and on.
Hi. I'm here. I've been having some work-related anxiety. It's the week before AF, so I always get cranky and anxious and bitchy and weepy.
I was also trolling the site wide UO/FFC.
M had a rough time between 2-5. No idea what was wrong. She felt warm, but I don't know if it was from her room being closed or if she's coming down with something. She just got over a cold. I really hope she can stay healthy for a few weeks.
My car should be released tomorrow. FX! I'm so nervous about hurting FIL's car. I'm ready to have my ride back. We did clean the interior and I'll be taking it to the car wash after work. M spilled her snack cup across the back seat and I took the dog to the vet, so cleaning the car was the least we could do.
malvo, I was guilty of that as well, trolling the UO/FFWC
The boys are having a hell of a time sharing. I know it's not developmentally appropriate to share at this age which makes it harder. I will not be that parent that buys 2 of everything though.
babys2015 Sharing isn't going well over here either. M was hanging out with FIL's 3-year-old neighbor, who apparently wouldn't share. I'm told M gave D a few smacks.
No idea if my child can share. Hopefully she's nice at DC? Haha. She likes to try to feed me her food? I always wonder if that's her way of getting out of eating it, though...
Hello, my friends. I was awake from 2:30-3:30, which all things considered is not that bad.
I keep watching the Olympic coverage and as someone who speaks Portuguese and has family in Brazil, I feel the German embarrassment for the news anchors. They're legit acting like they're on a different planet. Stop being weird AF.
Re: sharing. K has actually been trying to share her toys with J. I think.... Or she's trying to murder J by chucking a stuffed bear at her. One or the other.
C (my friend/person whose job I am vying for because she was promoted) has a friend in the office who just had a long interview and now C is showing her stuff on the computer.
I need a bottle of Xanax. Dying.
Edit: knowing my boss, it's possible that he could give me the job and since he'll have to immediately fill the assistant (my) position, could be looking at this girl for that spot. He always wants to promote from within.

rvamama fx you get away for lunch today!! Also, when do you find out about the position?! I would be going crazy if I were you too!
They want it set by next week. I had a good talk with my boss yesterday. Since I was acting agent last week he wanted to know how I did, if I still wanted the job, any concerns I had. It was a good talk. I just keep reminding myself of that.
So I forgot to tell you guys my totally awesome news!!! Remember how a few months ago all I would do was bitch about how we hadn't still figured out the mortgage situation? And how we couldn't get a new loan at a lower rate because our current loan is too high (which makes no goddamn sense)? Well finally and by finally I mean yesterday our refinance went through so we don't have to pay a couple grand a month just to live in our house. We've literally been in the middle of this process for over nine months. I can't even say how nice it's going to be not bleeding through our savings.

Yes! Just keep reminding yourself about the good talk then. That's a good sign. And if he likes to promote within that's good also. Fx so hard for you!

DH shared his cold with N, who shared it with me. I know why they were both so miserable. And the dog puked in the hallway twice this morning. I need a do over please.
Hey ladies. I've been so MIA, I hate it. Work is busy and there are also some dramas/issues going on there that are making things less than pleasant. I want to get some feedback from you all about it but that will have to be later today re: sharing... V is pretty good about sharing. But at home that usually looks more like C trading with her for a toy he wants. At school she's hit and miss for sure.
In other exciting news, I ordered these cute moccasins from target for V. In a bigger size for winter time. But she loves them now and wants to wear them all the time. And I let her, cause they are too cute. ETA- excuse the dog hair and crumb couch. Tough times over here!
I have to bitch this out because I'm 2 seconds away from flipping the fuck out on my boss. You don't have to read it, I just need to get it OUT.
At my previous job, we were the business owners of a system that all agencies use. So, we created it, tested it, and provided support. One of my main roles was managing an e-mail acct that end users would contact when they had issues, questions, etc. Like, I did this. Everyday. For MULTIPLE agencies. Just me. We have a similar set up here - an e-mail acct for folks in our different centers to e-mail for help with this system, but just for folks within our ONE agency. So, a lot smaller.
My boss does not trust me to handle this account. It's fucking UN. BE. LIEVE. ABLE. how insane he is about this account. I just want to be in charge of it. He has such weird-ass ideas about how to schedule who does what when. I'm not normally super blunt about things at work, but I've literally been like - DUDE. This was my job in a MUCH GRANDER SCALE. I can HELP PEOPLE WITH THIS SHIT. Let me manage it. It's so annoying to be like, you manage it Mondays and Wednesdays, and I'm the other days, unless you're out or busy or whatever. Like, WTF. I'll just DO IT and you do it when I can't. SIMPLE.
So, I was managing it yesterday and now, today, someone replied back to about an issue I helped her through yesterday. But, today is not my day AND honestly wasn't expecting more conversation about it so I did not see it. He fwds to me and says: I want to keep continuity. If you get an email to the resource account on the day you are assigned to handle it and a follow up email comes the next day, you finish it out.
BUT I'M NOT FUCKING CHECKING IT BECAUSE YOU'RE IN CHARGE TODAY!!!!! So, FINE, fwd it to me but don't be an ASS about it. Of course follow up shit is going to come in. I'm only managing it ONE DAY AT A TIME because you're a psycho creepy micro-manager. So, I have to check it everyday anyway??
