    Default I'm back (I think)

    After some major computer issues and a very busy summer so far, I think I'm back. The computer is finally behaving itself (thank God for good computer guys who don't charge much).

    I'm still working and hating it even more than ever. It's SO bad this year! The one guy had his hours cut from 5 days a week to 4. He decided if they aren't going to let him work 5 days he isn't going to work AT ALL so he spends all 4 days sitting in our office in the way. I am so sick of having to step over him, having no where to sit in my own office and listening to the nasty talk between him and the other girl that I just want to puke. I am having a VERY hard time making myself get up and go to work each day. Our boss has been a total butthead this summer and my health is suffering from the stress.

    I've made a decision to do everything in my power to not have to go back next year. I will be cutting back on things at home. I also plan to not worry about paying things off right now. I am going to put any extra money into savings instead so that maybe next year I can stay home with my family. I don't think that my health can take another year there.

    On a good note my dd graduated from high school and is enrolled in the local community college for the fall semester. Ds was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society and graduated from 8th grade and will move to the high school next month. And dh's job moved 6 miles closer to home so that helps a little on gas!

    Sounds like a mix of good and bad. We, however, are all glad that you're back!

    Glad to see you back! Don't understand why "they" would keep him if he's just plain not working. Maybe you could throw a towel over his dumb head and use him as a coat rack this winter. Hugs

    "Nasty talk" if you mean what I think, then after you leave you should seriously consider filing a sexual harrassment complaint. Even if it isn't aimed at you if it's making you uncomfortable it's illegal, period.

    I'm so glad you are back, you were missed! I hope you can work it out to quit that job, and something much better is waiting for you! In the meantime, I like Niko's idea!
