Vacation Blurb and Work Update.
So, it's been a week or so... I crashed pretty hard post vacation and have only gotten my sleep back to something normal in the last couple of days.
I posted a bunch of pictures from the trip over on my facebook account and will share them on G+ as well. There were 2 things that I really wanted to see on the island - Horseshoe Bay Beach and the Crystal Caves. Very pleased to say that I made it to both, although I didn't really drink enough water for the amount of time I spent in swimming at the Beach. I kept going back into the water... it was soooo warm. Like bath water. (Reminder: I grew up in Gloucester where 60+ degrees for water temperature was pretty damn warm!) But I wasn't wearing anything on my head whenever I went back into the water... so yeah, a little bit of heat exhaustion when I got back to the boat. Most definitely worth it.
It has been stressful getting caught back up at work again and I am still finding things people assigned to me when I was gone but I hadn't seen it yet. Plus there are the looming layoffs in October. *And* I am just now seeing an agenda for a major gathering going on in the UK next week--something that has been planned for two months--and figuring out I should be in several of these meetings but most of them are planned at OMG EARLY :30 my time. Here I have twofold mind weasel 1. I should have been included earlier on, so why wasn't I? 2. If they are not including me does that bode badly for the layoffs?
Logically I know that my overall grade level is a lot lower than most of the people in these meetings and its not surprising that I wasn't included. However, I've been doing the work of someone several levels higher than me for well over a year now and now that it's officially in my responsibilities I need to be included in the planning processes. No one else going to these meetings are aware of the the challenges surrounding what I do. *sigh* Imposter Syndrome does not need anything feeding it.
I will most likely be hosting a Viewing Night for the new Agents of SHEILD TV program.
I want to host another game night.
I really wish that my sister getting married is something that had happened before I lost my husband.
Work, Z's Bachelorette Day, Z's Wedding and the Bully Plays in October and a few other things has the schedule looking pretty damned crowded right now. If I fall off the radar a bit, this is why.
