Its been a mixed bag this week
It's been a mixed bag this week. Monday I spent most of the morning working on refunds and realized I made mistakes on the data entry. It wasn’t as bad as thought but it took longer to finish them. It shortened the time I spent on the scanning which lead us to be backed up (not only because of that but because of the systems failure last week).
Tuesday I participated in a tour of the Cushins Brain Center here at the med school. My friend “LL” who has so much Yale spirit arranged it. It was all part of the Employee spirit week currently going on.
It was also the day for the committee meeting and by that time I was beginning to think I was never catching up. THe meeting talked about the EPM and the membership meeting. IT was brought to our attention there was a HR involved incident in EV’s area. Some argument that got physical. Names were not mentioned and quite frankly it irritates me. Just say who and then remind people it doesn’t leave the room.
Wednesday was super crazy and I was really agitated. First I couldn’t find my ID anywhere. I was beating myself up for it because I had just gotten back at the beginning of the month. I looked everywhere for it. Happily I found it that night after trying again.
I worked mostly on the scanning and was doing much better than earlier in the week. We had an impromptu meeting with DirectorST. She had witnessed first hand the issues people were discussing and complaining about with printers. So she listened to the issues and concerns and have already implemented procedures (and they are being done as I write this).
Noon time I headed to Central Campus for the EMployee Appreciation lunch with some coworkers. I was already in a bad space and LL (Spirit Lady) was annoying me when we didn’t get “gifts” right away. We were not even through the gate more than 5 minutes and she was demanding them! THe table in front of us ran out and was sending us to another location.
I started to follow but lost them when I ran into others I knew and greeted. I had done this several times. Looked around the lines for the different offerings (steak and cheese), BBQ chicken, Popcorn, etc. All stuff I couldn’t eat *but* eventually had the steak and cheese in small portion. It was chaotic and I watched People cut in line (and I suspect I may have unintentionally) and they all seemed to have this “entitled” attitude. I just had to get out of there. I did thank the President for the spread though. I headed back and did some more work before leaving for the day.
Today I am trying to get as much done as possible as I won’t be here tomorrow. I decided to take it off earlier in the week when things started coming up.
I am so grateful to Siduri for recommending the Handyman. He came and worked on the garage on Monday. He did an awesome job. It was more than I was expecting but that’s MY FAULT. So finances were a little squirrely for me by the end of the week.
I had some other unexpected bills come in as well. I really should have expected them but not so soon.
Now just keeping up with the normal chores will be okay. I will have to put off a few things for later (like the printer) and maybe restrain going out for meals and groceries. The former not happening easily.
I went to class Monday night. Worked hard I think. It was the last one for the week at the Milford Edge. I had my session with Alex and the next one will be at the Orange Edge. I went there today for my class and managed to do well. There was another of Alex’s clients there to so I didn’t feel so alone. TrainerRoza was there as well. Its her new home for now. I signed up for tomorrow’s class too I think...I did not go for Cardio last night at the Milford edge.
I have been eating right (at least I think) and tracking except for the last two days (I hope).
I had my infusion on Wednesday and I ended up being late. It was supposed to be 1:30 and I got there afterwards. I hate when I do that and that just contributed to my ill temper even more. My next infusion is in Mid June at 1:30 in Milford.
While I was there preparing for my next appointment I thought that once we have moved to the new location (work wise) I could start to get my infusions in Branford. I am taking a second look at it and it isn’t feasible to do that. I think I will remain in Hamden or Milford as it is now.
I had my session with Debra on Sunday and we won’t be meeting tomorrow because of dinner although I could manage it between the funeral and dinner.
Earlier in the week it was announced that a neighbor/good friend/reporter/fellow DTC member passed away. First it was from my district chairman and then from the Town Committee chair. The wake is tonight and the funeral tomorrow.
Later on that night is the DTC Awards night and i have been looking forward to that.
I didn’t make it to the Wednesday night meetups this week. I don’t think I will be able to next week either. I have the company picnic on Wednesday.
How ever Sunday Morning I have A Milford walks/Walks with Buddy Meetup in town! I am so excited. Its from 8-9:30 by one of the elementary schools on the other side of town. I am thrilled!
The Hiking with friends Meetup is attending the Taste of Manchester at 5:30 on tuesday but I have the Ladies guild dinner. However if they have activities on Tuesday for the summer i am going to give it a try.
In the mean time we just got the notice to evacuate the building a fire alarm has been set.
