Resolutions--Week 6

Hmm...

*Diet: Well, only lost .8 pounds this week (total loss = 5.2 pounds). I've truly not been paying attention to it at all. Too much else going on...

*Smoking: Epic FAIL!! I started smoking late last Saturday night (went out at 10 pm to buy some!)...was out by Sunday afternoon. Wore the patch on Monday & Tuesday but bought more cigs that Tue night...& haven't quit since. Bleh. Eventually...

But I guess the BIG news is...I am going to go back to blogging like normal. I've regained the freedom to be able to use MY blog as I see fit! FFS. *sighs* ONE portion of my life will be off-limits for a while (because I choose for it to be--it's pointless to discuss since I cannot comprehend it at all anyway. *shrugs*) But, I'm thinking in a pretty short time period, it won't be an issue at all anyway, as it will have dissolved & disappeared. C'est la vie...

So, I suppose, a sort of "re-cap" is in order, huh? Well, work is exploding...in all sorts of manners. We've been on skeleton crew since November. We are starting to have the problems associated with that. Certain things aren't getting done that NEED to be done...cuz, well, there aren't enough of us there to DO them!! Rooms 3 & 4 are complete disaster areas again. The spinners pretty much stay bare. Business seems to have picked up & we stay buried in processing. Which creates the other problem...flats of books stay stacked higher than I am tall cuz nobody can get away to put them out! Argh!

2-3 weeks ago, Kelli took a mis-step & took a tumble. She did as much damage as possible to her ankle as she could possibly do without actually breaking any bones. Torn ligaments & tendons. Her leg looks like a rainbow! So she's been on crutches & doesn't really get around well. She's been at work but doing stuff she can do sitting down. Our jobs aren't the sitting down (for long) type!! So while Manda & I don't care that we have to tend to her needs...we definitely notice the difference in not having her 100%! :-( Cindy is useless...& causes MUCH unneeded chaos...so it all falls to me & Manda. *sighs*

Cindy hired this woman, Karen, PT (for the kids area mainly & possibly to take over the Amazon Listings in the future), a couple of weeks ago. While she's of no help to me & Manda...she is taking the load off of Kelli! So that's a PLUS.

Kelli finally decided to take next week off...to stay off her foot & try to heal a little faster. I'm not looking forward to next week...at all! Grr...

Still working on the website. To top it off, Cindy gave me a FOLDER of information...things I have to do/get us involved in...as far as Online Presence goes...yesterday. Sooo...not only have I been coming home dead the last however many months...& I've been beyond dead the last few weeks...that is now gonna INCREASE! o.0

Oh, but wait...it gets even better! Manda is so unbelievably stressed with her life & now her refuge (work) is putting her over the edge! *cries* Cindy is back to being Cindy & some of the things she says are just...unbelievable. Manda is totally pissed off & on her way out the door. Dan gave her the ok yesterday to give her 2 weeks notice when we get paid at the end of the month...*cries again*

FML. Just fuck it...ALL!
