well ok, charles is in florida having a pretty good time - i've only been without him for 3 days. today started out just fine, but the work day ended kinda sour. and it's not really anyone's fault, i just am sort of being suzie raincloud over here. and not even because charles is gone - granted, i would be more cheery if i knew that he would be coming home tonight, but that's not the point. i'm just generally in a funk right now. behold my lame ass explanation - if you can find a reason in all this rambling, good for you:
i got a REALLY nice promotion at work thursday. it was my first day back at work and as i was sifting through my 45 emails, i found one that said that denise ("marketing director/TEMPORARY assistant community manager") had been made the official community manager and would be doing marketing director as well with my help. no big shocker there - that's what denise wanted in the first place and we all pretty much knew she would be getting it. i have no problem with that, she has been doing a great job and i have been helping her anyway with the aspects of her job that she doesnt like, i.e.: writing newsletters and articles and anything else that might need to be written. i'm fine with that! so yes, got another email to go to a meeting at 9am to discuss "job duties". how naive of me, i thought it would concern BOTH denise and i. instead they all sat me down and said "we want to make you the marketing assistant, take aaway some of your current tasks and add more writing and some reporting" (more or less). SCORE! win one for me! most of my new jobs i was doing already and the rest of them are EXACTLY what an acting marketing director is supposed to do minus that whole line of b.s. about being the "public face of the company"... dont want to do that crap. so that's cool! and i get a raise but i dont know how much yet, should find out monday or tuesday. but either way, it's clear that i am appreciated and i love my job.
cool on that.
so then today i had a few things to finish writing today and a whole bunch of little piddly things kept happening and i just became more and more angry at life. the damn Time Warner crap was crashing again an so every foriegn turd on base called to complain. people wouldnt leave me alone so i could DO my job, beanie shit all over the carpet at lunch, charles called and was pissy for some reason. so i'm just over all in a funk. and then, my "workout partners" bailed on me again. i can't blame them though, i could have gone alone. but damnit, it snowed today and i'm all pissy and just really didnt want to go sweat my butt off and feel nasty tonight. i'd much rather be as i am now, whining to the wind in my pj's getting ready to watch silly movies and each chocolate. there's a party tomorrow night for some birthday boys and i am taking beanie weenie so that i can do shots to my hearts content and stay overnight. i'm thinking of making my favorite peanut butter chocolate chip cookies for the occasion since i dont have enough money to go to the store righ tnow.
chocolate - here i come!
