Nothing exciting, I know
This will most likely be the usual boring update/rant about work. Since I last wrote, Roger came down this past weekend and we had a great time, despite my being sick. I felt off all weekend, like at times I had a random fever, and had NO energy. Developed a cough, and by Monday, a stuffy nose and a more steady fever. But I managed to try and shove it aside and go home with Roger to attend a bridal show, and have him go to my home church for the first time to meet some people, including the pastor. We stayed up late Saturday night looking at more Hawaii honeymoon stuff. :) We even checked out hunting in Maui! Apparently there's these huge deer with huge antlers on the island that you can hunt! Provided you can fork over at least $800 just for one day. :-X It was a nice thought, but that's all it'll be.
Sunday afternoon we went out to coffee with Lisa, so he could finally spend some more time with her. That was nice. Then we drove in crappy weather down to Josh and Em's for the superbowl, along with pizza and wings. Of course my team didn't win, but that's ok, none of them did this season anyway, hehe. IT was pretty fun, and then Monday morning we hung out with them for a bit, then I had to get home to go to work. I felt like crap, but I was excited cuz Roger was actually coming to meet people at work and see what I do! He shadowed me for a bit, as I showed him some of the stuff I do, he experienced Java Walley's excellent coffee selections, we had lunch at one of the many places on campus, and he got to interact with Morna and Jen. It was good. He WAS going to go home after, but I managed to convince him to stay till Tuesday. We had a wonderful evening Monday. He made me venison from my doe and mashed potatoes, we played a family game that my great uncle invented, I played the piano for him for a while, and we watched TV and relaxed. IT was SO nice. Tuesday morning he left and I dragged myself to work, feeling like crap. My head felt like it was floating and I basically stared at my computer screen dumbly, for about 4 hours. Yesterday I took a sick day still feeling like crap, and today i'm back in action, feeling a bit better. FInally getting some sleep at night helps!
And now the work rant: so last week was WONDERFUL. The afternoon student worker was gone from Wed-Fri and I had LOTS of work to do! I was busy going from one thing to the next and time FLEW! I loved it! Now she's back and I have NOTHING to do. ANd I Just love it when I come in to work and my boss has JUST finished doing my main job; the very thing that I normally do when I first come in. I could understand her doing that if I was say, busy with other things and overloaded, or if by my fault, was showing up late. But since neither is the case, I don't understand it! Knowing her, I could see her doing it for me as a favor. WHY?!?! I have NOTHING To do then when i come in!!!! Augh! Don't get me wrong I love MOrna, she's great, but I don't understand taking away what little I have. She could also be doing it to give the student workers work, but yet, they normally just sit and yack at this time of day anyway. The other two are usually here for the first half hour i'm here, then they leave, and the afternoon girl comes in. So they don't do the work anyway! Augh! And my other frustrationg thing is that the afternoon student worker comes in and she stays LOOOONG past her time she's supposed to be here, OR she shows up way early! There's a WRITTEN schedule for the student workers, and they are only allowed a certain amount of hours, which equals about 40 between the three of them. Well she stays way past her allotted time all the time now, and then I still have nothing to do, cuz she does the work I was hoping to do after she leaves! So I sit here BORED< and doing crap online. I'd rather be working!!!!! I should talk to my boss, just not sure how or when. I love how my job is flexible, but sometimes it seems TOO flexible. I get so I don't want to come in every single day just to be BORED For four hours. Sure maybe some of you think why is she complaining, she's getting paid good money to do nothing! Lucky! Well I don't feel lucky, i'd rather be accomplishing SOMETHING! End rant...
Aaand that's all for how...whoopie. Going home this weekend. Yay. Then back at this boring stint next week. Can seven months be over yet?!?!!?! Later.
