Got 8.5 hours of sleep last night for the first time in I don’t know how long. It felt like a luxury!! Of course, I had to go to bed at 8:30pm the night before and I was awake for about 30 minutes in the middle of the night, but it was a glorious sleep!
Woke to the horrible news of yet another fucking mass shooting and I’m just so ANGRY about it. What do we do with our mentally ill population? Honestly. I don’t have an answer. And every time I hear about another mentally ill person shooting things up, I hate to say it, but I always go back to SexyPant’s son and I feel like I’m going to read about him in the news someday.
Gives me chills. And it’s such a helpless feeling because I was scared of this kid. Like, the thing is, I wanted to hide from him all of the time. And he was OBSESSED with guns. What can we do??
In news from Scotland, yesterday was funny. I knew The Scot could sense that I was feeling antsy and asked if we could FaceTime yesterday while I was still at work. You guys!! I thought he was going to say that he COULDN’T DO THIS ANYMORE!! I seriously braced myself for something like a mini-breakup! It was such a weird feeling. Because I’ve never met the dude, right? And yet, here I was thinking that our “relationship” was about to be OVER. It was just a gut feeling.
But no. He just wanted to say hello in person because he was getting ready for bed and was missing talking with me. Of course, I felt kind of rushed during our conversation because I was still at work and we didn’t get to any of the meat of the NYC situation, but it was a sweet, brief (and hilarious) chat before he went to sleep. He never fails to make me cry with laughter.
Can you say, overthinking the whole situation?
Today I’m leaning a little towards the glass half full scenario…with thoughts of still creating a back-up plan for NYE.
In news from work, it’s still weird. Buried in paperwork and trying to get shit done. I feel almost paralyzed most of the time.
Oh! Here’s something NOT funny. At all. I reviewed my bank statement yesterday and noticed something fishy. Not only did my company not pay me correctly…as in, they only paid half of my paycheck this last pay period, but they also docked me a day of vacation! I brought it up to HR and the VP immediately sent it to payroll and there were many apologies and excuses of “so many changes” here in the office, but…wonder why my paycheck would have been affected so severely? And I even after I got a pay INCREASE?
sigh…
I talked with a headhunter today. Not sure where this particular one could possibly get me because he was actually looking to FILL a role we have open here, but he said he’s interested in understanding what I do and would like to see my resume.
I suppose that it’s all about getting more momentum rolling.
And in the Things to Look Forward to files, I have some super exciting plans happening after Thanksgiving. Well, first, I’m looking forward to Thanksgiving because everything is fun when my neice is around. I’ll probably bring some more champagne and get my brother tipsy because we get along quite well when we’ve both had a couple of glasses of champers in our bellies.
December brings many birthday, Christmas and Holiday parties. I didn’t have ANY to attend last year…except for one. And If you remember, my CEO had a party at her house and I was going to take Steve McQueen - and then he broke up with me!!
Now, this year I’m dateless, but have the events and don’t mind going solo.
All that to say, in a roundabout way, is that I need some party frocks! [Athena] posted the most gorgeous sequined dress on FB today (was it today or yesterday? My days seem to blur lately), and it was so inspirational. I want to sparkle this holiday season!! I want to ROCK out with my FROCK…out. Heh.
I can’t believe it’s already the Holiday Season!!
But anyway, yes! I have many events that I’m excited about this year and nothing really to wear. Suppose this weekend will be browsing time.
And yes, I realize that I’m in jeopardy of losing my JOB, but I can’t be all doom and gloom all the time, now can I?
Until tomorrow,
xox,
GS
