Yes, yes! I am going to get back to Italy sooner or later. That trip seems to get further and further away as the days zoom by! I have Part 3 almost finished, and I’m actually going back to my photos to remember what we did each day (gotta love the iPhone and my love of taking pictures!). It’s right there on the tip of my fingers.
Anyway, work has gotten INSANE the last week or so, and I can barely keep my head above water. I’m not sure what it is, but I have had a million and one projects pop up all at once, keeping me late at work and, unfortunately, annoyed with everyone!
Boss is the worst - doing all kinds of stuff behind my back and then expecting me to know what he’s done?! He’s pulled all kinds of development pranks (and these are the things that I’m responsible for), and they are all coming back to bite ME in the ass. This is NO BUENO.
The kicker is, some things have come up in China that are proving to be troublesome, so I told him that I wanted to go out there and make everything right. And the next thing I heard is that HE is going! What the EFF? And the only reason I know this is because someone from a different office called me and told me. I am BEYOND annoyed.
And look, these are not new annoyances. These are old issues that are bubbling up and coming to a head. I know I have been bitching about stuff like this for years now - but it feels like it’s getting worse lately. Now that the company has new owners, who knows? They may be bringing in a new staff? Firing us all? Maybe just me?!
Regardless.
I have one perhaps last hurrah in Las Vegas next month for a trade show. I’m going in early on Saturday and treating myself to a weekend of solo dinners and spa time before the chaos happens on Monday when I have to give another big presentation and then work the show for three days. I’m actually very much looking forward to this because I feel like I’ve hardly done any traveling for work this year and I’m also ALL about treating myself this year, too! :) This will kill two birds with one stone.
And after the trade show? Who the fuck knows. I’m supposed to go on a couple more domestic trips to give customer presentations, but they not are even confirmed on the calendar in ink, so…I continue to do my design and development work knowing that they will pop up at the last second.
At least I’ve got Vegas as a milestone goal to plan for because now I can stay on the wagon as far as my diet and exercise goes. I’ve been doing really well with the portioning and recording my meals, and I even stepped on the scale this morning! I’ve gained 2.5 lbs of the 9 lbs I lost earlier this year, so at the very least I didn’t gain it ALL back in Italy and during the Father’s Day Feast, but I do have a ways to go. Would be nice to put on something s-l-i-n-k-y in Vegas, eh? I mean, it’s gotta be a little bit of almost nothing because, think about it - Las Vegas in JULY?! Sweltering.
Anyway. Thanks for listening to me bitch, again. It’s so good to just type it out here and let it go. Now I’m off to yet another meeting, but feeling much better.
Until later…when I get tell the Italy story (!),
xox,
