Someone please explain to Cinequest that they need to hire me. Resistance is futile. I WILL work for Cinequest eventually. If they would just realize this now it would save us all a lot of time.
:)

So far I have mailed my new business cards to one friend, and to Scott. And over the weekened I magically had no cards in my purse, when I could have actually used them.

WOOO! I'm gonna make tons of money this way!

okay yes i just put some in my purse now, ready to work now, ready to write.

My business cards arrived, YAYYYY! And they're so pretty too!

I just got April Fooled at work and it was a good one. It felt really good to laugh at work, and I was laughing hard. I still feel happy 1/2 hour later. Good times.

On order of Charleen I was told to enter that 100 times in my blog.
You see, we are moving to a different floor in a couple weeks and are getting new cubicles.
Monday I went to see where my new cube will be, and guess where it was? Directly next to that manager that plays loud music, yells curse words, throws the damn beachballs around, and uses a FRICKIN BULLHORN when she's really excited.

My first thought: I'm being punished. Severely. Probably for not attending more Mandatory Funtime Activities.
My second thought: Whatever.

But when Charleen, the best manager in the world, saw the floor plan, she immediately got her team out of the way of that manager. I'm not precisely sure where my cube is now, but I know it's:
a) Not near that manager (WOOO)
b) Near the stairs, making for quick getaways

So: YAYYYYYY for Charleen!

( okay Charleen? :-D )

I am leaving work now to go get my kids and bring them back here because today is Mandatory Funtime Activity day! WEEEEE!!!

It's Company Picnic day, which I LIKE, because I can bring MY FAMILY.

If I couldn't bring my family, I wouldn't go. But I CAN, so I LIKE IT.

This announcement sponsored by the Show Your Boss How Much You Love "Mandatory Funtime Activities" Committee.

Dammit!

I blame Prism-Girl.

Buffy can't wait to get her hands on my shirt

So our company changed its logo and has issued t-shirts to all employees. The new logo is a prism.

Otherwise known as a rainbow.

You should see the look on the faces of every single man as they get so excited about their free t-shirt, "WOOO, I love black T-shirts! Gimme gimme gimme!! .....ummmm. This on the front... is a... I'm not wearing this t-shirt!"

I said something nonchalantly about the "rainbow" to one of the girls in charge of this whole thing and I was STERNLY corrected. It's NOT a rainbow, it's a PRISM.

HEEE.

It's a rainbow. Definitely a rainbow.

As luck would have it, today was Mandatory Funtime Activity at lunch.
Heeeee.

At least today there was an actual reason, but I avoided it like the plague anyway. I only work 4 hours a day so I don't get a lunch hour. I got my lunch and ate it at my desk while I worked, like always. After I finished eating one of my team members came to "come get me" (grab my arm and drag me) so I could participate. But like I said, it wasn't that bad today, and at least there was a legitimate reason for it. And I got to sit at a table with only my team members, so that was good. So I sat in the sun for an hour having nice conversation, and then I was set free to come back and do my work.

Luckily, I got my frustrations with these things out of me by writing last night and this morning, so I was relaxed and not frustrated. So chalk up a point for this blog - it allowed me to cope at work today, heh.

Although my boss reads this I'm going to post it anyway cuz it has nothing to do with her and is really just broad commentary on corporate life in America.

I don't get the whole Workplace = Family thing. For me? My family is Spike and Buffy and my aunt and my grandparents. My company is where I go to work. My coworkers are the people who work at the same place I do. My family includes the people I love and want to spend my time with. The people I go to work for. My coworkers are not the people I should have to spend time with during non-working hours.

Luckily, I really do like my immediate work team. A lot. And I don't mind going to dinner with them or doing outside things with them because they are like friends. But the majority of the people I work with, while nice people, are not my friends. (Note: there is a difference between "not a friend" and "enemy". A definite difference, and I don't have enemies at work.) But I would never give up a Saturday to spend with even my Team if I have a choice of being with my family or boyfriend instead.

I choose to spend my valuable free time with my kids. Not my coworkers. And I should not be made to feel like I am not a "team player" if I feel like spending time at home with my family instead of with my coworkers. If I was trying to climb the corporate ladder then I understand putting in that extra time, but even if I was a regular full time worker who wanted to stay at the company my entire life - I still have a family at home, they are the reason I am working.

There's no reason why I'm typing this right now, nothing has come up at work.. it's probably more of a constant feeling I have I guess, that I'm always seen as the uncooperative, non-inclusive, antisocial non-team player in my office. And while I don't deny that I'm antisocial, I am a team player (with my TEAM, not my entire 4000 employee company!!) and I work my ass off when I am in the office. That should be seen as a Plus. It really should. I put more work into my four hours than most of the 8 hour a day people I work with. Not a false claim there. And that is what should count. It really is the only thing that should count - and I honestly work my ass off.

I hate writing things about my job now because my friend is my boss and I don't want this to look like I'm passive-aggressively complaining about my job here. Because I'm not. But it does bother me, a lot sometimes, and writing about things makes me feel better, so today I'm going to write it all out so I can feel better and try to get over it a little.

I don't even understand why I am the only one who seems to feel this way. What do all you out in computerland feel? Since you cover the range of the world and business classes. Do you all think you should be made to put extra time in to outside activities? I'm not talking a company picnic or Christmas party, I'm talking beyond that. Now that I think of it, my last company had some outside activities, but if you wanted to go you went, and if you didn't no one cared. Here I feel like... not that there is pressure, but if you don't go, you are an outsider. Not a team player.

So anyway, I already feel better. Just needed to write this out. I wish no one from work had any access to this so I could vent more comfortably, but such is life. I love my boss and she puts no pressure on me to participate. But beyond being about me, I just don't get it. I don't get why employees are looked down upon if they don't participate. I don't get why employees aren't judged on work activities - as opposed to non-work activity participation.

And now ya'll are bored out of your mind and probably quit reading. Which is fine too. I'm done though.

So this morning, no internet connection.

The repairman actually came really quickly, and figured out that the modem had gone bad so he replaced it. But he said the lines were still wonky so he was calling someone else out - but my internet should work in the meantime.

Within minutes the repairman arrived. He said he would have to shut the phones down while he worked on the line. And it would take awhile.

I notified my supervisor that the work I had just started was now going to stop, again. And I sat and waited. And waited and waited and waited.

Then I woke up. Two hours had passed. The phones were still dead. I called my supervisor to let her know.

An hour later, the internet suddenly came on, and the phones were working too. The phone rang, it was the repairman to say things should be working now.

I'm not holding my breath.

So.
Internet guy came yesterday, said it's "some other" problem that he "could" fix right then, but his office told him he had to log another ticket about the "other" "new" problem. So I had to wait until today for another guy to come out. In the meantime he knocked out our phones AND our Direct TV, and then told me the phone line doesn't have anything to do with our Direct TV. Except there's a G*d D*MN PHONE LINE coming from my phone jack directly into my DVR. So that required another phone call to Direct TV who at least was very helpful in actually FIXING a problem.

I came home from school at 12:30 and the internet wasn't working, so I called them to see if they could give me an estimated time since I NEED IT TO DO MY WORK. They said Oh, the Tech Guy was there at 10am and he fixed it. Well, my internet still doesn't work, so... So it must be "some other problem" that will require another guy to come out, which requires an appointment, which isn't available until Monday.

So then the window guys come, and wouldn't you know it, Buffy THREW AWAY the sliding side of her window that is broken because she didn't think we needed it. So now.... the $225 window glass.... is now a $445 entire window. This is me... trying to remain... CALM.

So here I am at Fricken STARBUCKS again, doing my actual JOB, until 6pm.

And this is why I am going away for ANOTHER weekend, with Scott, to Volcano, an official GHOST TOWN which has actual INTERNET available. Me and Scott can rest, I can get my stupid homework done, I can calm down, and hopefully get myself ready and rested for Monday when I will again be sitting at home wasting time WAITING.

Of COURSE the internet did not work this morning. Was on phone with Tech Support by 6:30am, and off after 7am. Drove in to work at 7:30am and have to leave at 11am for school.
The Repair Man is supposed to be at my house by 8pm. Yeah, that helps.

I am starving right now, and all I can think about is today in the cafeteria is Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Honey BBQ Sauce and potatoes au gratin and tortellini salad and as soon as lunch is open for business I'm going to be first in line.

Omigod, I just realized I have my shirt on backwards. At work.

"18 years, 18 years, She got one a yo kids she got you 18 years..."

*dance on desk, waves arms in the air*

Happy Friday!

Ice cream party at work!!!

I still don't understand how women manage to pee all over the toilet seat at work.

I mean, I've heard that some people "hover" to avoid germs.

But if you can't hover in one place then maybe you should just pull out one of those paper covers that are specifically made for protecting your pristine behind from the germs of the rest of us.

My pee goes directly into the toilet, that's all I have to say. And I would rather your pee wasn't all over my behind.

Scheduled Termite Inspection for Tuesday... Check
Scheduled Property Inspection for Tuesday... Check
Obtained half price charge for inspections after talking to former boss... Check
Called lawyer, got some questions answered, forwarded almost-complete spreadsheet of bills... Finally... Check!
And next on the list for this evening:
Go buy more boxes, more f***ing boxes
Go to my college bookstore and purchase... My cap and gown! And Tassle! and GRADUATION ANNOUNCEMENTS!!!

Anyone else want an announcement? Just send me your address. WOOOOOOO!

Finished two work assignments, now have just 5 pending and 2 phone calls scheduled for tomorrow. I'll attend a meeting by phone on Wednesday, and then I think I'm finished.

Check, check, check.

Tomorrow I get a lot of check marks accomplished, so I will feel much better by then.

***** Oh, and it turns out that after Charleen's dad had fallen last week, apparently there was internal bleeding that the F---ing Kaiser doctors didn't find, so that's what was hurting him. The blood is all dried now, but he's staying in the hospital while they keep an eye on him and he may need a transfusion.

I'm telling you, I will do anything possible to make sure I never have to go to Kaiser again.

It's all or nothing, right? Work is slow, school is out, probate case on hold...
And then it all starts up again in about ten days. Then chaos again.
Can't seem to make up my mind, too busy, too bored.

There is a girl at work here who I never knew very well, but when I was away after my mother died she watered the plants on my desk for me, without anyone asking her to. I was really touched by that, so for Christmas I made a donation in her name also.

So today I gave her a little paper crane ornament that I made, along with a card stating that I had donated a flock of chickens in her name.

At first she thought it was a joke, like "she got me a flock of chickens??". Actually, she says she thought I was using my "Charleen humor" HAHAHAHAHAHA, but then her co-worker pointed out the paragraph that states what the chickens were for. So then she comes running over and tells me how much she LOVED the gift, and that she "never got a flock of chickens for Christmas before!" And later she told me that when she was growing up she used to raise chickens, so she knows how much good they can do for a family. And then later I passed her in the hall and she started skipping down the hall saying, "I got chickens for Christmas! Donated in my name! Best present I EVER GOT!!!"

And that made me really, really, really happy.

If my camera phone didn't make such a loud noise when I take a picture I would totally take a picture of the elf that sits behind me. He's totally an elf. But I can't take a picture, so ya'll are out of luck.

A list for today

#1 I have an elf sitting in the cube behind me now. Well, he looks like an elf. I don't see any toys in his cube though.

#2 SCHOOL IS OVER

#3 I rented the first seasons of Project Runway and America's Next Top Model and fell in love with them both. More so Project Runway.

#4 I totally aced that English Lit final

#5 I believe I aced my presentation in Communications last night (Dual Perspective as it relates to Napolean Dynamite)(true) - but you can never ever ever know with that teacher.

#6 I AM DONE WITH SCHOOL

#7 I am also done with the chocolatey marshmallowy peanuty chocolate thingies that a co-worker brought me and since she's the one responsible for the addiction, I think she needs to bring me more.

#8 I am already logged as the #3 female weightlifter in my age group at my gym. Methinks the other ladies need to work out more.

#9 I gave my kids $60 to shop for a gift for me at the mall, and now there's a giant Victoria's Secret box under the tree. I'm hoping there's flannel in there.

#10 I have already mentioned about school, right? BRING ON THE BOOKS AND DVDS AND NONSENSE!

Again with the godawful loud Christmas music at work.
Can I clarify please that I do love Christmas Music, but this? Is horrid.
The Baby Jesus would not be pleased I tell you.

In other news, I ran another 2 miles last night. That makes 4 days out of the last week.
Go Me!

Okay so I was cranky yesterday.

I'm better today.

Also, the stupid Christmas music isn't blaring from that cube up ahead this morning - it's on and I can hear it, but it's quiet.

As if the day of rude people will never end...

I was asked to go to dinner today because one of our team members is here from Atlanta, and that's all fine and dandy, and I think she's great, so I agreed to go to dinner.

But people. I have a life outside of work.

So at 5:10pm I wander around looking for the only two people who still plan on going to dinner, and I find them and I ask when we are leaving, and they look at me like - Can't you wait another hour or so?

What, at my cubicle?

And I explain, Look, I cannot stay out all night, I have kids at home, I need to be back at a reasonable hour.

So they agree they'll be ready at 5:30.

It's 5:41, and no sign of them.

I really want to just go home. I have studying, and cleaning, and relaxing to do. I have things to do besides spending more time with my co-workers.

I have a LIFE and I don't want to spend it HERE!!!!!

Shut. The Hell UP.

Oh my gosh, she just cranked the music up LOUDER! Unbelievable!!!!!

Actually I just want some QUIET this early in the morning.

Here at work in cubicle-land we all have the ability to play music on our computers. And most of us do, quietly, play what we wish in our own cubicles where no one else has to listen to my classical music, or his Indian music, or her rock music.

Except for one girl, who always thinks everyone wants to listen to what SHE wants to listen to. Every morning I come in and she's blasting whatever it is she wants to listen to... And People, that's just RUDE. If I wanted to listen to that, I would be listening to it. As it is, I want to listen to my classical music, because that is what calms me down in this job.

So knock it off. Use your volume control. And stop thinking everyone shares your taste in music so well that you don't even have to ASK if we want to hear your computer. I DON'T.

As a matter of fact T-Man, they do serve burritos and sushi also. At least the "old" cafeteria did. Every Wednesday was Mexican Food day: taco salad, chicken fajitas, etc. And all kinds of salads every day: avacado & mango, chef salad, ceasar salad, chinese chicken salad, etc. In the morning you can get a breakfast sandwich for $3: egg, cheese and bacon or sausage inside toast. Or you could get a breakfast burrito: eggs, potatoes and sausage in a tortilla for $3.

The new cafeteria is barely up and running. You could say it's crawling at the moment. For some reason, after not actually opening last week after all (due to "unforseen circumstances") they had some pre-made breakfast croissant sandwiches and pre-made breakfast burritos - with no salsa, and no where near as good as the old one, AND for some reason they are charging tax on the take out now. So my not-as-good burrito cost $3.51. But whatever.

For lunch I had Chicken Parmegiana. It was okay. We shall have to see what is up with this new cafeteria food. Personally, I don't really want a pre-made and reheated breakfast croissant with gross melted orange cheese. But maybe when they get their act together it will be better.

We have a cafeteria here at work, and the three people who work there are three of the nicest people in the entire world. And you know, they work at a cafeteria, so I doubt they make very much $$, but they should because they treat their customers like each of them is their best friend, or family even.

So yesterday we got a note that we were switching catering companies and the new company would be starting next week. And I got really worried about those three people, because what happens to them? They get transferred to another place? Or they lose their jobs? Right before the holidays???

And so I was thinking about them ever since yesterday afternoon and was just so worried, because I've been there, and these are nice people, and I didn't want them to be unemployed.

So this morning I went in and asked the lady what was going to happen and she got this huge smile on her face and said they just interviewed yesterday and they got jobs with the new catering company and are staying right where they are!

And I got so emotional about it that I started crying right there in front of her. I just burst into tears. I'm such an emotional puss right now. I gave her a hug and said I was so happy for them, and that I had worried about them, but now I was happy, and she said there was going to be a new menu and a salad bar and everything. And that she had also been worried, but as of yesterday everything was fine.

I am really happy. And still crying, because now is not the time to give me emotional things to think about, heh. But I just am happy for them. And that's all I wanted to say.

I am here at work and I thought I was fine but I'm just sitting here staring at my computer screen. I still have so much to do as soon as the clock strikes nine.
Call the mortuary to have them send me the death certificates and ask about my mother's ashes.
Call the lawyer and set up an appointment.
Call my spanish teacher and explain why I wasn't at the midterm Saturday.
That doesn't seem like too much, but I still feel overwhelmed.

A girl at my work said she watered the plants on my desk while I was gone. Little things like that can really mean so much. Such a small thing to do, but it was the only thing she could do to help.

I'm just not quite here yet today.

The best part about the Indian guy who sits in the cube next to me at work is when he gets frustrated and he starts talking to himself, only I'm not really sure what he's saying, he sounds kind of frustrated, and it sounds like this:

(loud sing-song voice) "OHHHHH gaLOOBTILOOBTILOOBTI-gummalummagummalumma..."

I don't know what he's saying, or even what he's doing, but it cracks me up. It's one of those things you have to hear for yourself.

The freeway I use to go to work is having construction done on it for the next two years, so I decided to take the light rail train to work today. It took me an hour to drive to the lot, walk to the train, take the train, and walk to work - vs. 30-40 minutes driving the entire way - but I save gas and get to sit and read or study on the train for 30 minutes. The drive home is at least 45 minutes long, so even though it will be longer, I'll still have that 30 minutes study time. And it's pretty relaxing just sitting there while someone else drives.

It costs $1.75 for each trip, but that's close to the gas I use anyway. And my car will not be sitting on the freeway for 30 minutes in the evening.

Oh please let this day end so I can go to Aptos!!!!!

Okay, so my paycheck was electronically deposited into my bank account today and it's my first full paycheck, meaning now I know how much I get twice a month - and good golly I can't even conceive of this amount being deposited twice a month. It's like a million dollars got put into your account, and you're like "Oh! WOW! WHOOPEEEE!" and then you're told "In two weeks you get *another* million dollars!" and you're like "Fantastic!!!" and then they say "And in two more weeks you get *another* million dollars!" And then you're like "Huh??"

All I can say is, people who've loved me through this mess are going to get presents, that's all there is to it.

Reduce, Re-use, Recycle

Did I ever tell you that one of the things I love about my job is that I have two garbage cans under my desk?

One for trash,
One for recycling.

I love my job.

Okay, today at work?

Free Coldstone Creamery Ice Cream.

This is insane.

I'm going to weigh 300 pounds in no time if I don't get that doctor's note to work out in their gym soon.

No wonder they have a gym here, all their employees would be dead of heart attacks and obesity if they didn't.

FINALLY, my first day at work where I know what I'm doing, there's no one else here, and I just get to sit and do what I need to do.

I LOVE my new job.

Plus, it's Friday, so free bagels and pastries, haha!

I've been in training all week and am about to leave again right now. Lots of hard work and even more food. They have catered in lunch and dinner every day this week and we are all going to turn into BIG FAT COWS if training doesn't stop soon.

Tracee, what I'll be doing is converting current software licenses from my company to new licenses for the new product version. And it's kind of like algebra, heh. But I like it and I'm having lots of fun and I enjoy using my brain.

But I must go do some now. See ya'll later!

MMmmmmmm, free lunch!

:-)

Happy Monday at Work!

So here I am again, still no work yet, AND I get taken out to lunch today. Starting tomorrow I'll be in training through the end of the week, and then finally I'll have work to do.

As for now, we Dance!

You know what else I love about this place?
They recycle EVERYthing.

Everyone has under their desk a regular trash bin and a cardboard box. All recyclables go in the box. Our notebooks are made with recycled paper. And the Cafeteria has different bins to put your trash and recyclables.

A company after my own heart!

Mmmm. Breakfast!

Got to work today and what is in the cafeteria?
A table PILED with bagels, pastries and a huge bowl of cut melon and grapes... all free for the taking.

Not to mention the daily free Starbucks coffee.

My tummy is happy today.

Have I mentioned how much I love that I can talk to you all day? Although I don't very often because I'm still kind of freaked out that I CAN get on the internet, but I guess as long as I just peek in on you guys then everything is okay, right?

Anyway. It's so strange and QUIET and... all I can think of is "civilized", hahahaha. I like it. I will get used to it soon, I'm sure.

And I'm going to the World Market soon to get stuff to decorate this cubicle. Everyone else has these elaborately decorated cubes, and mine is like practically EMPTY. Well, today it has papers and notes strewn all over it. But I want PRETTINESS. So that's what I'm going to get.

Happy Fourth Day at Work!!!

I finally learned how to do some stuff for my job.
Or I should say, they finally tried to teach me some stuff.
Ya'll can send for the Loony Bin Men to come get me now.

:-/
Don't worry, I will get this and be A-Okay!

... if it KILLS me, heh.

Happy at work!
Happy Happy Happy!!!

Here I am happily at work with my computer and music playing and I'm studying the Code of Ethics and playing games to learn and then I get tested and I'm having a really good day.

I went to work, they didn't have a computer ready for me yet, I hung up some stuff in my cubicle, filled out some forms for my benefits, met a few very nice people, Charleen took me to lunch, I arranged my cubicle, listened to everyone talking very very quietly to each other... and got to go home early. I basically did nothing, and made a bunch of money. Huh.

Tomorrow I get a computer and have stuff to read, finally. Then we'll be up and running. Yay for new jobs and new things to learn!

So my weekend of being "between jobs" is over. We had a great time at the festival, and we had a great time buying much needed and much wanted items all weekend. We had a lot of fun together.

I now own four pairs of sandals (three on sale from Payless) and can't wait to wear some to work tomorrow. I don't believe I've owned four pairs of sandals at one time in my entire life, haha! We can wear open toed shoes at my new job! Not like my old stinky job, haha. I told everyone at my old job I would email them a picture of my bare little toes all happy in their sandals. And I will, HAH!

Got some new shirts on clearance at Mervyns this weekend to wear at work. Wow, great sales everywhere this weekend!

And we bought a patio table for $25 and some cheap plastic chairs. Now we can have barbeques and eat outside when our house is roasting this summer. This will be nice.

Went to church yesterday, took communion and cried while I prayed, asking God to take care of my dad, and also thanking Him for allowing me to have this job where we won't just have "enough" but we'll have "more than enough", something I never imagined we would have until after I had graduated. Then I wrote a huge fat check for the offering that equaled my entire year's offering last year. Then I sat and wiped away more tears while I thought about how I can actually write this check for the same amount every time we go to church with no problem. How it used to stress me to no end giving the church the last dollar or two that I had on Sunday, but now I can increase my giving such a substantial amount. And still fund that camp scholarship and still pay for everything we need. I'm still in shock over this.

I am going to bed now. Tomorrow it's a new job and a whole new chapter in our lives.

I can't believe tomorrow is my last day at work.
Then again, I'm not sad to leave.

There will be people I will miss, a very very select few, but I also really loved my boss. I will probably miss him the most.

He's having italian food catered for me for lunch tomorrow. I love my BigBoss.

I'm so excited!!!

TWO MORE DAYS at this job! And then I'm done!!!
I can't wait!!!

WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

I needed to buy some new summer shirts for work, and since now I CAN (BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA I love it!!!!) I went to Target and bought like eight different colors - of course I couldn't get out of the cheap Target mentality and they're all shirts on sale for $6, haha, but I like them and they're simple and when I'm used to having money to spend I shall go buy nice ones. And I went to Amazon and ordered several books for me and the kids!

This weekend we are buying: Sandals, fans for the house, and oh yeah, Pischina-kitty is getting FIXED, that's right kitty, time to go hide under the bed.

The BIG DAY

So today is INTERVIEW DAY.

I'll be interviewing with the company from 8:45am to 11:00am.
Pacific Standard Time.

So think good thoughts for me.
:-D

Then it's off to Science for my final and presentation.
AARGH.
:-)

Merry Christmas!
Guess where I'm going right now?
To work!
Yes, that's right, we have to work today!
We got a whole WEEKEND OFF for Christmas, WhoooWEEE!

*WHAM*!!!

That was the sound of all three accounting girls hammering that last nail into Supervisor's coffin.

There was a rebellion today. And it was well received.

I can't wait until Monday.

edit: it was kind of like the boardroom on The Apprentice where all three of us just SKEWERED her. I can't wait to hear BigBoss say it... "You're F----!!!"

Well I guess I can say this much:

I got to work this morning and saw her car wasn't there. As I was trying to not do my Happy Dance in front of BigBoss I innocently asked, "Our leader isn't here yet?"

"Your leader's right here Baybee," he said, "A real leader doesn't abandon her workers. As far as I'm concerned, she's abandoned her job."

GAWD, have I said what a dream come true this has been?

I wish I could talk about all the happy things that are going on at work this week, but I cannot, yet. Be assured that the Accounting Girls have been very very happy this week.

And who knew someone could file for Workman's Compensation over STRESS? Heck, if I'd known that I would have filed for it myself long ago. Especially if I knew I could get a week+ paid vacation out of it.

I put in my presentation for my review yesterday. I am crossing my fingers about a raise. I did really really well this year, and I did a *lot*. I even talked to my Supervisor about my work yesterday and she agreed that I had done some amazing things.

A raise would be the answer to everything right now. I hope I find out today!!!

I don't wanna go to work tomorrow.
:-(
