Cycle/Month: 7/6
Day: 8
What are you doing to get pregnant?: BBT and starting to check CM. Will start EOD, Pre-Seed, and OPK's probably this weekend.
R/R/CS: Work has been really stressful lately. It's a long story, but I tried to advocate for myself to my director since I was recently given a "promotion" but then found out that I had been told I was at a higher grade level than I actually was at for the last 3 years in this job, so I just got "promoted" to the same level I was already supposed to be at. I met with my director last week to talk about my recent contributions to the group and the work that I have been doing that should qualify me for the higher title. I was really proud of myself for having the courage to speak up and for rationally and kindly presenting facts about myself and my work. My director apparently didn't agree with me and said I should just take the raise that came with the "promotion" and be happy about it and not worry about the title. I am obviously thrilled to get a raise but it's also important to me to recognized for the level of work that I'm contributing. Then I later found out from my manager that now my director thinks I'm "ungrateful" and have a "bad attitude," and in all my recent interactions with my director since our meeting last week, he has been condescending and passive aggressive and rude. I don't feel like I said anything rude or out of place, and I made sure to express that I was grateful for the raise and the recognition in my meeting with him, so it feels very personal that he is treating me this badly.
tl;dr - My director at work no longer likes me, and it's now challenging and miserable to be at work each day.
GTKY: You get a chance to plan your last meal. What are you eating and what four people do you invite to share it (living or dead, your spouse is assumed already)?
Since spouse is already assumed, the other 4 people would be my parents and my 2 sisters. We would go to a fancy steakhouse in Chicago and eat and drink anything we wanted off the menu, with no thought to the cost.
