Taking Stock

Okay...so this work week was bad, way worse than bad...it was hideous...NOT because of what I do, or what the work load was...it's cause there's one person in the office who never makes a deadline and has no reason to miss them...and then that puts all the rest of us stepping and fetching to deal with her bringing stuff in that HAS TO GO, way AFTER the deadline. She sucks, but that's not even the worst of it...she never gets in trouble for it...cause the boss over us broke her 'give a shit' a long time ago and she just doesn't want to deal with it. I really don't think she is going to stick around to much longer than when all the stocks get paid out from the company buy-out. But anyways...I was suppose to take Friday off on a vacation day, and I ended up having to go in, cause I didn't get all MY stuff done Thursday afternoon, cause I was working up a SECOND CHECK RUN for the incompetent idiot who fucked off all week and didn't have her shit to me on time. BITCH!!!! Okay...so I was foaming at the mouth so badly Thursday night, that Mr Fixit calls me on his lunch hour Friday to find out if there are any dead bodies he needs to come haul off quietly, or if there is any blood shed we need to mop up and douse with bleach. We are experts on that on account of we are BIG CSI fans!!! No...I haven't gone postal dear, and thanks for asking.

So, I was still pretty ticked off on Friday, especially when the Bitch took off early after she caused me so much extra trouble and then wouldn't even look me in the eye and apologize for it....as a matter of fact, she avoided me like the plague all day Friday...which was actually in her best interest. But I finally got out of there and went to do the grocery shopping. I did remember to take the recyclables...YEAH for ME!!! And I did take a detour to JC Pennys, cause they have a pretty big sale going on right now....got a couple pairs of jeans for half price...so I am good to go this winter on jeans for work, and some new bras...which were way more than I would normally spend, but they were buy one get one for $.88....so hey, maybe these will hold up way better than the walmart ones I usually get and I will look killer hot in them!! And that did help my mood...plus I got home early and helped Mr Fixit...who dropped the mower down low and did a once over the yard....he wants it short and sweet when the fall leaves start coming down as this year he has his huge beastly bagger and we are gonna suck them all up and top off the compost pile with leaves...whoo hooo. But anyways, we have a pear tree in the middle of the yard, and it drops pears all the time....the honey bees LOVE IT...so as he was trying to mow, I got out there with a rake and a bucket to gather up the fallen pears. They aren't like the kind you buy in the store...this pear tree is different...I wonder if the folks who planted it years ago knew that???? The pears don't ripen on the tree...no matter how long they hang there, they won't ripen....not til they are off the tree, and sit for a while. So...here I am...gathering up bucket after bucket of fallen unripe pears....lots of them chopped in half....cause Mr Fixit thought they'd be easier to gather with the grass low around them...NOT....go mow somewhere else for a while you TWIT!!!! Anyhoo...the exercise and fresh evening air made me feel loads better...even better than shopping...WTH????? And it was later in the evening...as I was trying to read a new murder mystery novel I couldn't get into, and being serenaded by Mr Fixit's snores in the recliner next to mine....that I came to think I should take some stock in how good I really have it and stop this fussing and cussing and foaming at the mouth.

SO....I am THANKFUL....yep...that's what I said....I am THANKFUL that I have been blessed with kick ass organization skills and I don't have a problem working to meet a task or a deadline....that's a gift...and one that comes in way handy...so I am grateful for it. And I'm grateful that in this day, I have a job and it pays well and it's close to home and I have a boss who lets me do it the way that works best for me...which is awesome!!! And I'm thankful I have a wonderful husband who actually GETS ME, and who enjoys spending time with me cause he's weird like that. I'm very blessed to have my home and my big yard and the ability to get out and enjoy it....to have my health...we just never have a reason to go to the doctor, and that's a big gift too....and for my happy healthy kids and their wonderful lives getting started in young adulthood. And for my dogs and cats and all my birds coming to the feeders. Yeah, I really have it way way good. So, it's okay if somebody jacks with my work load and I miss a day off....it's not the end of the world...although it did lead me to declare that Friday was National Get Your SHIT TOGETHER Day....it was not the end of life as I know it. It's gonna be okay. I'm gonna lay this anger down and get on with my happy happy life. Yes, I know....in a couple weeks she is gonna pull this shit again...cause she can get away with it...and I am gonna come unglued at the seams again...and rant and rave and foam at the mouth some more....but until then...it's time to just be grateful that life is good....even if I am about to spend my Saturday morning cleaning the house so it can get uncleaned just as quickly right behind me....it's okay..It's all good...I have taken stock...and been found to be overflowing.....with a beautiful pink sunrise to boot!!!! Think I'll go set on the patio with a blanket and watch!!!
And that's the dill pickle bout that!!!
