Friday Afternoon ... musings? (*subtitle* light rants)
So on the upside of this week - we got our boys both registered, in the same school and at the neighborhood school we wanted. I'm not even entirely fazed that Ethan's second-grade teacher looks old enough to have been around when there were still one-room schoolhouses and kids wrote on miniture chalk-boards... (I think they call that experience). I've also NO doubt that Brennan will be bored to tears in Kindergarten ( saw the giant over-sized play room they called a class). It will be fun for him for a bit- but then he'll get bored when all the other kiddies are trying to tie their shoes and add 1+1 - he'll be sitting in the corner playing the drums on a desk and banging out Hell's Bells.
Oh well- burn that bridge later...
And then there's work.. apparently Tree is flying low enough under the radar this week... no nasty emails or phone calls from the boss to tell me how much he thinks I'm not doing my job right... (one of these days he's gonna see how well this place runs without me)
Oh and I had my hours cut... heehee... why am I laughing at that you ask... well, our COO announced at the Leadership meeting that she expects ALL salaried people to work a minimum of 40-45 hours a week... Phew! I've been working between 50-55, so I guess that means I get to take a break! hahahaha!
Of course- no good week goes unpunished... so to that end.. there was the four day migraine and the trip back to my doc... who promptly yelled at me for not taking my meds the way he thinks I should ( silly man- not sure why he wastes his breath) and then of course- just for spite- he ordered yet another EEG and CT.... (I keep telling him its not a brain tumor- as that would dictate that I had a brain to tumor-ize) Seriously- I know thats not funny and I dont mean any disrespect to people that have had cancer impact their lives.... but REALLY!!!! no ones been able through any form of pharmacology - to fix these brain burning freakin' headaches for the past 5-6 years.... does this doc think I really believe he will either.. and I wont even get on my soapbox about how awful the meds are...
So- to heck with all that... still focusing on the Sept 1st and then the 10th.... Hate how Kripke is tormenting us with those tiny little snippets of S5 previews... but delightfully (OMG- did I use the word delightfully?) happy about my writing right now...
Off tomorrow to see Billy Boy on Poison, Halestorm and BlackStone Cherry... and then have two more concerts coming up in the next month... Red and Framing Hanly - then Shinedown, Cavo and Sick Puppies... still wishing to get the Nickleback, Hinder, Papa Roach and Saving Abel tics - but lets face it- at $120 a piece- sooooo not likely... ( the boys are SOOOO excited - I've soo turned them into little rockers... well except that stupid Britany Spears song they like)
And on top of it all - I have someone offering me a Gold ticket to Chicago Con in November.... (hmmm- wonder how much a kidney would get me on eBay???)
