After working at my new job for almost four months now, I have reached some interesting conclusions. My new job is far too much work for one person. It is complex, it involves a lot of responsibility for things that I don’t completely understand, and if I screw up or make a bad decision there [...]
The drama continues apace. There’s a space opened up at work, a more interesting space than the one I’m currently occupying, and which I put in an application for. I found out today that I’ve got an interview for it on Monday. I’m trying to keep myself calm about it, but this patience thing is [...]
The computers and phones are down at work due to an electrical fire, so unless they miraculously fix them at some point today, I’ve got an extra day off. Given that Monday was a holiday and I’m taking Friday off for Hanna’s birthday (oh god she’s going to be a year old on Friday) that [...]
Things that are stressing me out right now: 1. Our normal childcare arrangements have all gone screwy this week because Ryan’s schedule got changed. 2. A big new project started today at work. 3. I have a dentist appointment next week. 4. My 10 year high school reunion is this Saturday, and I still can’t [...]
There is way too much medical drama in my life right now. First I get the cough that wouldn’t die (that will hopefully be gone when I go off the inhaler tomorrow), and then on Friday Ryan gets a horrible toothache and goes in to discover that he needs to get his wisdom teeth out [...]
Ryan wants me to go to the urgent care hours at my doctor’s office this morning, since I’ve been coughing for a month now and it isn’t getting any better. I would have to take Hanna with me, since they’re only open on Saturdays in the morning, and Ryan is at work. I just looked [...]
I woke up super early this morning with an upset stomach. That’s hardly surprising, after all the upsets of yesterday. Still, I’m holding off on breakfast until I’m sure I’m not going to throw up. But Hanna didn’t start crying first thing this morning, instead I knew she was awake because she was making clicking [...]
Well, I survived the first day, and I did it without too many tears. My coworkers had covered my desk with streamers and bought me a bottle of Scotch, which helped a lot. I even sort of remember how to do my job, and it only took me four tries to remember how to log [...]
I was starting to feel a little overwhelmed by today already, because I have a bridal shower to attend this afternoon, and I need to prune the roses before tonight so that the yard debris bin can go out to the curb before tomorrow morning. When you’re supposed to be on bedrest, that’s already a [...]
So, my doctor called me this afternoon to see how I was doing, and to tell me that they want to rerun one of my blood tests when I go up to the hospital this evening to drop off my other lab stuff. She was very happy to hear that I’d stayed home from work [...]
