Long long rant.
I feel crappy atm.
Mostly little stuff, I'm sure I'll be over it in a few hours. I can't help thinking of my pillow and the blanket I just washed last night. The best thing for getting over yourself is a cup of tea but the tea they have here is pretty crappy in my opinion.
In short, yesterday was so wonderful having to deal with today in contrast makes me want to howl and bawl. Wah. We had a wonderful time on a date with each other and watching movies, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang to be specific. It wasn't at all what I expected. Amusingly enough, later that night we were watching the Sopranos. On top of that, we got in contact again with one of my husbands good friends which put us in good humor. I hope we can get together with them sometime, they're great people and we don't really socialize that much.
Today, one of the employees from S&S tore my shirt a small bit on one of the swinging doors- my favorite and I'm hoping I have enough skill to hem it back in. He also was looking for equipment to take back to the main office and tried to take the projector I needed to setup since John had already run home. It was all a minor misunderstanding, but I think I'm just in an irate mood today. But the guy got at least the projector he needed and I got the other set up. I wish Fedex would come and pick up all the boxes that are holing me in my office.
Wish I could've slept more, except for the needing to make sure that hell doesn't break lose here. Sweet lord I deserve some vacation. Thanksgiving will be the closest I can come.
So holidays are coming and my mothers family does the name-in-the-hat so only one person gets a gift rather than everyone try to go broke with presents for everyone. I think my grandfather has my name again and wants me to call him... probably to take care of my name for me. Mom asked if my husband wanted to be a part of it too. We are ok, just gift giving and tips are kinda out of the budget. Its nice of her to think of him. Proper at the very least.
I'd rather be able to afford to send her flowers on her birthday than having to think about Christmas gifts. A person's birthday is more important. Especially when most of the time there is some sort of scale between two people when you exchange gifts. You either break even from the deal. Or you don't. I'd rather sentiment was expressed, getting together for a small party for lunch/brunch/dinner or whatnot. That's the spirit of the season to me. Making cookies, having fun. Presents are important to kids. Adults think more of, "I could really use some more towels or a new set of kitchen knives". Really Christmassy.
The only good part is more paperwork hasn't come in the email yet. And I've got my letter ready to mail out, I got to work on time, I have a lunch, I dropped the bill in the mail with the Netflix and speak-of-the-devil they received the two other ones from last week finally. Now if only I could get the apartment cleaned up and they would stop drilling the tennis courts here at work.
At least I'm a lot less irate now. Partially due to having gotten a little shipping snafu off my chest to my boss. Sometimes the Front Desk likes to leave packages in my office after hours for me to take care of on opening up. They're supposed to use provided forms to make sure there is no miscomunication on any of the details. I haven't seen a single one used. Instead I have this lovely note taped to the box "UPS GROUND, Jane Doe, Room 123, account 123456, MC on file, FRONT DESK". The box has a label on it with someone's address. I can only 'assume' that its to the destination. Nothing else has been indicated.
I call front desk, and they said they remembered it but they didn't note any other instructions or provide the file on it. All on me. I notify my boss and gently let her know that-I don't mind so much they don't use the forms so much as if I send this to the wrong place...it doesn't go to them.. no, it comes back on us. Amazing how understandingly that conversation went.
I doubt anything will come of it, but letting a person higher up on the pole know that things aren't working sometimes diverts the crap when it comes downhill. What else can I do? I at least did the stuff to back my behind from getting scraped. Otherwise I don't really care.
I almost hope it goes to the wrong place. Almost.
Just like it almost puts a smile on my face.
Oh wait.. never mind. :D
Hopefully the rest of the day is quiet, then I'll be happy. It is payweek afterall.
