Today I am going to fire someone. Well actually their manager fires them, I just get to sit there and pick up the aftermath and walk it to the door. I'm actually pretty nervous about doing this- I know it is part of the job but it seems so harsh as well. I am the queen of wanting happily ever afters and I suppose terminations are just too not happily ever after for me.
Life has been going pretty well for me this year- if a bit quickly. I had a great trip in March where I got to see the lovely morganofthefay and children. I will be going back to Austin for a week in Thanksgiving which I really can't wait for- it seems so long since I went in July for my Mom's surprise party. And, I will be going to Greece next year. I do have an offer to go on a cruise for 4 days in April but I don't have anyone to go with and I'm not sure I want to go alone.
Work is going well. I am glad that I was able to get into HR and use my brain. I like writing manuals and policies and many of the assorted tasks I do. But there is a dark side to HR: I do not like firing, I hate payroll and I don't like the constant worry that we are not in compliance or being expected to be the expert on something I hadn't known existed until two minutes ago. I envy Will for his mind- I think that is why he does so well in the field. I am giving myself time to adjust to working HR but I'm not sure I want to stay in the field. There are many things I like and enjoy but I'm not sure this is the field for me. No rash decisions though, I will just keep plugging away and taking classes and see where I end up.
The weight loss is going fab again. I was down 50 lbs in January until I snapped and went a bit crazy. I'm only down 30 now but I'm back on my way down so I have every expectation of being down 65ish by the end of the year. I would really like to be down close to 75/100ish by the time I go to Greece- would make the trip so much more comfortable.
