must go to store, clean up home, get ready for arrival of father, wrap the
presents I have gotten <cackles> and finish list for more, and get food and
TP while I'm at it.  I'm tired, I'm cranky, and I'm a bit freaked out.  I
think it is better for all intended that I just not have to deal with people
today.  Thank god the boss is gone for 2 weeks

Oh yeah.  And I work with the Dynamic Duo tonight.  =)

Now I'm bummed because my left foot isn't functioning properly, and I have
to go stand on it for eight hours.  Hmmph.

Feeling snowed in and crabby, although I did get a way cool package in the
mail today (see happy item). Alas, on the bummer side, it was too big for my
desk at work, and I had to take it home, where my son has been eyeing it with
very envious eyes!

I got yelled at today at work.  Why not, it's not like they are pulling for
me anyway, and it's not like I got here at 7am today, nor that I stay until
7 on Wednesdays.  Nope.  I got iced into my father's place on Sunday and
couldn't get the car open, and then on Monday they decided that since my cel
phone "wasn't working" although I had no problems, I was AWOL.  (tried
calling, but no one there, left brief voice mail, they dont' care) So when
patients are calling my line, which they are not supposed to do anyway (see
voicemail instructions left by my boss) I'm in trouble.  And today they were
bad mouthing my boss because she's on vacation for 2 weeks.   I've been the
whipping girl for weeks with those people because I sit on the opposite side
of the medical complex in another building, so now they are going to make
"periodic" stops to see where I am.  And I have to leave temp messages on my
voice mail if I have to go to the bathroom or to get lunch.  The message my
boss made up won't do.  

Boy this modivates me to be here.  For another 10.5 hours.

I like my boss.  IE, I like the Doctor whom I work for directly.  She gets
a bum rap too, but it's hospital/teaching hospital politics.  And they pay
me.

that's the funny part.  I enjoy my boss, and I enjoy her work and what she
does.  However, it seems that any assistant she has is resented because they
are in another building, and don't have the same job duties.  I haven't a clue
what to do.  I've got some thinking to do.

Well, my bosses dad died this evening.  We were expecting it, but it's still
hard, right at the holidays and all.  This also leaves us completely staffless
for the weekend, as half the staff is related to her.

Barely any snow.

I got a B in a class I thought for sure I'd get an A in.

My best friend got engaged last night... I am SO happy for her. Please 
don't get me wrong. She deserves all the happiness in the world. Just 
makes me wonder if I'll ever have my turn. I hung out with her and 
another friend in high school, and now I am the last in line to get 
married, if at all. Bittersweet, I guess.
