Friday

So it's off to a tennis tournament this weekend with the whole family. The four of us are staying in a hotel in Tyler since A's matches on Saturday and Sunday start at 8am. Not sure how E will handle two nights in a hotel w/ little to do but we'll see. Since the house is clean and I spent last night doing everyone's laundry, I won't feel too bad about not being home all weekend.

It's been a long week at work. Not sure why everything is piled up but it is like they are expecting me to do 3 wks worth of work in one. My boss just tried to blame an accounting oversight on me but he is the one who told me to hold off on submitting this corrected paperwork to accounting back in mid-December. He seems to be suffering from early dementia as when anything goes wrong, he cannot ever remember being the one at fault. Now accounting contacted our client about the discrepancy and he's upset about it. Of course, when I tried reminding him that I had drafted a note for his approval on 12/16 and he told me to hold up - he looks at me like I'm a loon. Funny how this job can go just fine for awhile and then I just sit and fantasize about just screaming "I quit" and walking out the door. I know w/ the economy the way it is right now, that would not be a smart option which is why I always hold my tongue and control my anger. It never does me any good to tell either of the guys here that they are wrong or they misplaced something or they made that bad call - it's ALWAYS my fault. I finally got the balls up to say something about it at the end of December and my boss seemed to appreciate my candor. Things were good for a few weeks and now it's back to the same old ways. Oh well, either my Dad's company needs to take off so he can hire me or Scentsy needs to take off (not possible).

I'm not going to let things here get to me though because 2009 is about "me". I'm turning 40 this year and I plan to spend the year getting into shape, being more creative, enjoying life and being happy. If you don't make me happy, get out of my face. I don't have time for negativity. 40 is a milestone year and I plan to make the most of it.
