At work today, I am slammed...Busy as a bee.....I worked 5 hours instead of the 3-4 it has been....5 hours is NOT a rarity, I have worked that many many times before...In fact: Because I am careful and do it right the first time, I actually get more done in less time becuz I am careful and this is YEAR END time...
BFD....ONE hour more...I write my check and now that the sons are taking over and the one who isn't too crazy about me becuz I am not church goer, is my boss..
His dad and I get along wonderful..This guy, I have to be careful with becuz of his attitude about non church goers...
So I write the checks...Mine included and he says "XXXXXX????? how come so big??????" and I just said..."It is that time of the year and its ALWAYS more work this time of year....I am staying until 2pm because I have stuff to do"
I didn't say a word more...I just left it and he never said anything back...The thing I noticed is that my attitude..I was not justifying, or explaining beyond the necessary, or trying to defend me...I just stated the facts and went about my work.....AND , I got a lot done...AND I was not having a panic attack over, "omg..Is he mad?? Am I in trouble??" None of it..
I think it is time for me to keep paying attention to other opportunities and keep my ad "fresh" and be open to new things...I just celebrated my 5th year anniversary there with a sterling work ethic and efficiency, not to mention the studying I do every year on payroll taxes, income taxes, and brush up on accounting to keep my skills good and he bitches about my check being 1 - 2 hours more....OMG...Some one call the police...
I think I can budget my time "ok" and this is my plan...Work is kinda "take it as it comes" ...Study 60-90 minutes...Workout at club 60-120 minutes (shorter on work days- longer on weekends and off days) and of course my recovery...meets are one hour and i can do maybe an hour on the rest (boards, sponsor, step study) average about 90 min a day......I can "hang out" with you guys when I am having my supper and a bit more because I NEED my program...This of course is averages, like on weekends i can be more flexible...but sorta of an average....
This year I have decided to work on my bod as much as I do my mind...I can do it...Just have to work out some kinks in my "budgeting my time" skills, but it will work...I know it will...
I did post that post becuz until things slow back down, I will be on "not quite" as much as I normally am....I am getting a life...I am finding fun....I made the decision that 2014 was not gonna be just work, study, program.....i am inserting FUN in there and I deserve it and I am worth it....
I had one kinda embarrassing moment at the club today, after work...There was this BIG green blow up ball for doing AB work and other stuff and I "had to try it" so I get on the thing and its way bigger than mine at home are so I am fooling around with it and I rolled off it and landed on my butt then i kinda tipped over on my back....I felt SO graceful....Oh well...I kinda laughed and got up and decided to try something else, LOL

well now the "son" boss is peeved at me becuz i told one of his vendors his check was at the reception desk....WHY write the check if you aren't giving it to the guy????? There was PLENTY of $$ in the checking account..It not like they were overdrawn....
I just told him in return text......."i wont' say anything again, my mistake" and hit send......this guy is a JERK....I really don't care for him, but need job till I can find something else....This is my weekly....Cant afford to give notice.....Oh well, I am gonna "network" me out there and surrender the rest.....Visualize something better coming along...I am gonna check and make sure my ad is "fresh"
I keep thinking if I could get my foot in the door at the animal shelter, volunteering, and wouldn't it be something if they offered me PT job with them??? Hey anything is possible....One can keep the feelers out there and anything can happen....I hate being poor...Have to take his crap until I can find replacement...This is not the first incident with him...I have busted my buns doing a good job and the other two (dad and older son) like me and appreciate me...My luck, I get him as my boss b/c dad is slowing down and other son is off on Friday!!!! SERENITY PRAYER here I come...
Thanks for letting me vent....Time to do laundry and fun stuff and LET THIS GO....

Great job! I have a hard time when someone is irritated with me. I hope that the tools of this program will help me as I see it helps others in my other aspects of life. I agree, though, that it's a good thing you didn't hurt your back!
