Work, Work, Work
Embarrassing moment of the week: had a dream I was petting the cat and woke up to realizing that I was petting the head of my friend who crashed in my bed that night. Obviously I had a little too much wine.
Last week was shit, felt miserable all of it and rather unpleasant things happened to my friend and me. Mostly work related. I managed to kill my work laptop. But since my boss does that at least twice a year, it wasn't such a big deal. Also my co-worker who is sort of my manager hired her replacement so she will be training him the next two weeks. Why didn't I get promoted to her position? I have no fucking idea, but I'm probably going to search for new employment. I met the new guy briefly and to be honest my current co-worker is kind of crap, so he can't do any worse than her really. I just hope he doesn't treat me like his secretary since I sort of rank below him. Mostly he just does different tasks than me, but both position work hard.
Whatever, I'm getting health insurance now, I should be grateful and stop bitching. I'm half debating sitting in on all his training and just learn the stuff myself so I have seniority and the additional skills. But it seems like a lot of work for a job that I will probably leave in a year or two.
Thinking about throwing a Mardi Gras party in March. Have thought about what I'm giving up for Lent as well. In the past I've given up Youtube, fries, and such. I'm thinking about giving up fanfiction since I waste too much damn time with it. I have plenty of published books I need to finish reading. Don't worry softhat , I will still write some for you if I do give up reading it for Lent.
Is it bad that in the work environment I only see men as competition? Because I'm already scheming ways to compete against the new guy and I never did that with my female co-worker. Of course, she wasn't a threat and I really doubt this guy is either and my boss isn't going to fire me just because some else comes in and actually does a better job than the person he's replacing and not me. So, it's insecurity. Good, I'm glad I've established that. I'm going to drink now.
