playing it cool - if i can hold it together
So the look of the next few weeks has me a bit unnerved. I have a report due to corporate Thursday at 5pm that I cannot start on until after someone else has done most of the work. I am once again praying that my partner has a clue what the project is about (cause i'm a little sketchy) and doesn't leave me to fill in the blanks the day it's due. Please let me have the report in my email Wednesday morning at least. Friday night is the company Christmas party which i was told that at some point our big boss is going to give me instructions and I am make the party a success. Knowing my boss, these instructions won't be given till friday around noon and I'll have to stop everything and pull a party out of my ass. Which that kind of thing seems to be part of the fine print in my job description. I feel as if I am pulling things out of my ass all the time.
this comming weekend I go to NOLA to buy some much needed jeans, visit a few friends, and celebrate my mom's 50th birthday for which I have no gift. I was going to bring firewood for her fire place, but I can't find it anywhere. I asked and was told "Sam's sells it so it must be at walmart too" As if I want to go to that place, get runover and pushed around by other annoyed shoppers, walking the whole place one inch at a time to find out that it was on the top shelf of some obsure corner in the Christmas things where I can't go cause there's a 100 people in that little area shopping and fighting. Maybe I'll take her out to buy some workout clothes. She needs a sports bra if she's as serious as she pretends to be about working out more.
The Tuesday after is a big bash- I'll be up late making sure our stars have everything they need and running in circles making sure everything is running smoothly. It's hard to enjoy the events when I"m working them hoping that its all a success and no incidents arrise.
I am also a little nervous about Christmas day. My dad's family had mentioned last Sept that they may get together at Uncle Kenny's new place for Thanksgiving if he's moved in time. I know I mentioned that I might be moving too, but it would have been nice if someone had called and asked again. I mean Sept to Nov is a long time. Since the family's not getting together for Christmas, my father with whom i have a distant and strained relationship at best will be visiting me in my new home on Christmas day. He'll be spending the night. i will have roughly 24 hours with a man that I hardly talk to more than a hour a year. I guess it was due since last time I stayed at his place I was graduating high school (nearly 7 years ago). I have no idea what we're going to do. The only things my dad and I have incommon (other than genetics and few personality quirks) is that we enjoy action movies and rock music. So i'm a little nervous about his comming though it will be something to remember. I hope my young kitties behave. Dad's a dog person. Quentin's nervous too since he has never had a real conversation much less the undivided attention of my father. I don't know that they've every really held a conversation before.
Well, i'm sure upcomming late nights and some rants will appear in the near future. I pray that my parttimers are willing to work New years eve cause it looks like I'm going to need 4 working so far.
