Ain't That A Lovely Shade Of Bitch?
Just as it seems happiness is within our grasp, life comes along and gives us a swift kick in the ass.
I was happy this morning-listening to some Christmas music, bundled up against the cold, thinking about how nice the house smelled due to the Christmas tree I had gotten on Saturday and looking forward to seeing a co-worker that had been on a medical leave of absence for three months, especially since it meant NOT seeing the person who had been filling in for her-a person who was a total moron. I should have known something was up.
The hours kept passing, but I tried to ignore the alarms going off in my brain. And then the message came down-even though she had called Friday to say that she would be in today, she made an eleventh hour decision that there was just too much for her to do at home to be able to work like she said she would. Worse, due to the fact the the position is time sensitive, the moron would be coming back to fill in. I'd like to be optimistic about the fact that they sid that they were gonna post the job, but I can't help but feel like it's a smokescreen to hide the fact that they're just doing it so that they can hire the moron permanently and say they tried-everything will look like it's on the up and up. Sigh. At least I can look forward to Friday and seeing all my friends over here for the first holiday get together any of us has had in years. God willing, 2007 will treat us all kindly and I can plan a big blowout bash next year.
At least I got the fireplace cleaned out-now it's all ready for a nice fire Friday night. Now I just have to tidy the rest of the house and do some shopping and we'll be ready to go. I must make a shopping list!
