WTF? Is this, like, winter or something? Dayum! It's been in the 20's and snowing just about every day this week. I've had to pack on the under armor and even dig the electric blanket out! It's an outrage, I tell you! lol!
Today I finally broke down and went to the doc for my cortisone shot. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. He sprayed some numbing stuff on my leg before he put the needle in so I didn't really feel anything. Well, except for the cold when the stuff went in. That feels so weird - not a sting really but more like really cold and tingly.
He said it would take about a day or so before it would start to feel better but that's ok. After two months of this crap, what's one more day? Yeah.
The bad news is no skating, no pilates and no yoga for a week. :-( Bogus. Swimming and walking is ok, tho, which is good. I wouldn't be able to sit still for a week not doing ANYTHING.
Now I can get back to sitting on the floor cross-legged without staggering around for 10 minutes when I get up. Yay!
Been painting the place for a while. Almost finished with the hallway. I am hand-painting the walls to give an impression of the Italian villas I love so much. It's rather neat - some grotesques and fleur-de-lis and a couple of sphinx over the doors - looks very "different" and it reminds me of long ago.
I wanted to start taking the wallpaper down in the kitchen but I haven't managed to get around to that yet. I've spent a lot of time working on the hallway (trying to figure out what to put WHERE and then making the actual designs to transfer to the wall is very, very time consuming. Then I have to paint it once it's drawn.)
I'd also like to paint the living room but I will need a ladder and some time off work to do that. It is quite a project.
And this week I haven't wanted to do much of anything but sleep. I guess it must be the cold weather. Makes me want to hibernate.
So mostly all I've been doing is yoga and reading and going to bed early. I usually wake up in a couple of hours because either my back or my hip would be stiff. Several nights I slept on the couch so I can "wedge" myself between the seat and the back. That feels good.
Work is a pain in the ass, of course. Everyone is screaming and bawling because there is nobody to do what "they" want. So they are being told "no" and that's like the end of the world. Most of them are trying "end arounds" but they are getting smacked down from that angle as well. You'd think they'd learn but no.
And this is even after the big speech the big wig gave about "just say no" to things when you're overloaded. Well, we can say "no" until we're blue in the face but nobody pays a damned bit of attention. They always think THEIR shit is more important than anything else and try to weasel it onto current projects or strong arm somebody into doing it.
Just TRY and give me shit, bitches! I'd go right up to this biggest of the big wigs and ask him point blank "did you or did you not tell me to start saying no to projects when I'm overloaded? I think you need to re-educate some of your managers what the word "no" really means."
Don't think for a minute I wouldn't. What's he going to do, fire me? Please. I'd just draw unemployment and run off to the Bahamas until it got warm enough to return and find another job.
I'm still applying for other jobs but all I seem to get back is spam. Ugh! But that's ok. I'm sure I'll find something soon. And if I don't find something I have a feeling that the sea hag isn't going to be tormenting me much longer. For a number of reasons. One of which her "protector" is no longer here and I have heard grumblings from other departments regarding HER poor job performance.
You know it's bad if other departments are complaining. The worst thing about this job is the shitty management and their inability to say "no" or back you up when you say "no".
She is just lazy and hasn't the faintest clue as to what's going on. And doesn't WANT to know. Useless.
But I have my cortisone shot so I should be able to sit on the floor and skate and lay on my side here in a few days. Ah! That will be very nice! And once my hip gets better, it will take the pressure off my lower back! Yay for paingoesaway! Yay for makeallbetter!

This saga of the maid, Steve, the husband and the girlfriend just keeps getting better and better.
Apparently the maid (who is fucking Steve) is also fucking Steve's best friend. But wait, there's more! The best friend is soon to be engaged to someone ELSE! And he wants to keep the maid on as his back up piece of ass. But Steve wants it, too. (The maid's ass). What this girl has, I dunno. Not a job, that's for sure.
And, get this - now the maid's husband wants her back because he's gotten tired of his mistress. My God. You can't make shit like this UP! Talk about an epic cluster fuck!
Oh, the drama! The humanity!
We can add even more drama from my end with the on-going, never-ending fucked up bitch of work.
It goes without saying that the sea hag is an epic c*nt. I don't use that word lightly. It would seem that I am not the only one who is fed up with her bullshit and lying. Her little "pet" has decided that since she didn't get a raise (and, after all, she deserved it for sucking up like an Orek vacuum cleaner) she's going to take a job somewhere else! Imagine it!
Now the sea hag is all upset because she knows I'm trying to quit the company and her little pet is leaving too. Nobody is happy and her protector (her manager who covers up her shit and lies for her) is getting transferred. Anyone else see where this is going? Her C*ntiness is heading for trouble 'cause the chickens are coming home to roost.
The suspense is killing me (probably quite literally). I can't wait until she gets her comeuppance. I have a feeling it's going to be this spring. Ugh. I hate waiting! But it will be a very nice birthday present.
Now there's this fucktard who is being a total asshole and I told him "hey, if you don't like it, talk to (the big boss who project this is)." His response "well, I'm writing you at midnight. I've been helping. Boo hoo!" Uh, no. You're still not giving me the information I've requested, asshole! And if it doesn't matter, then why won't you give it to me? My God, I just want to slap his face off!
You can bet this same sonofabitch is going to be hounding me in a month or two with bullshit HE wants. And, of course, it will be urgent. Like the fate of Western Civilization hangs in the balance if I don't help him. Fuck him. Fuck his attitude of "my needs are more important and I can't be bothered to help you out. Even if it IS insignificant."
Now I'm going to go tell on him. HA! I don't like him anyway.
Hopefully I can go tattle and still have time to meet Lilibean for lunch. I think it's my turn to pay.
Bexie, honey - drop me an email!
