Damn, this short week has felt like the longest week EVAH for some reason. I just finished this morning’s fire drill with the boss, who is in China prepping for a meeting that I should be attending. But I’m not!
The meeting is a little bit of a last-minute deal with a HUUUUGE retailer who wants to meet with one of my factories in Southern China. At first, only 2 people from our China office were going to attend, as it appeared that this was less of a big deal than Boss thought. However, I knew what was going to happen (the potential of a new program WIN with this company could mean MILLIONS$$$ for the company), so I pre-empted the conversation by volunteering to go to the meeting, which would have meant I needed to leave for China over the long July 4th weekend.
Boss said no…nobody from the US office needs to go, and as he’s in the middle of moving to a new house with a newly empty nester status, he said his wife would kill him if he went to China anyway. I volunteered to go again - because I knew that someone from our US office really NEEDED to be there.
And guess what? Someone in the corner office balked, so off Boss went, on a martyr trip to China. And I get the emails and the complaints! Seemingly thousands of them. Fire drills everywhere. This would not be an issue if I were there. This is a bad thing - the fact that I’m not over there. All I can do is email from here.
Frustration Friday.
But, the weekend is nigh!
I have zero plans so far, except that I really need to get a pedicure. My toes are looking pretty ragged and as the dog bite punctures are starting to heal, I feel like a pedi is in order.
Oh. Yeah. The dog bite. I voiced my displeasure at the apartment management, who’ve really just issued a warning to the guy. I haven’t seen him since the “incident”, and I hope I never do again, frankly. But I’m sure there will be a time and I hope that (a) ALL of his dogs are on leashes, and (b) I can just ignore him. Ignoring him shouldn’t be hard as he tried his best to ignore me, so there you have it. Douche. Touché?
Last night, I was texting with my new interest, AA (don’t like that name - he might need a new one), and we were kind of joking around, texting back and forth about music and nonsense, and I made a joke where he answered, “you win.”
My response was, “do I get a prize?”
His answer, “Yes! Come collect!”
I wrote, “I will! :)”
And that was around 10pm, already past my bedtime. So I went to sleep.
I saw this morning that last night at 11:09pm, he wrote, “Come now!”
I haven’t answered that.
You guys, I hope, hope, hope that this isn’t a booty call scenario. I want to find out more about this guy and go out on dates and then maybe, maaaayyyybee jump his bones when the time is right.
All I want is a boyfriend.
Okay, okay. I’m going to try not to jump the gun. I don’t know enough about this guy. We gotta get to Date #2…or would that be Date #3 seeing as our first date was 2.5 years ago?
Better run for now. I’m prepping for a Friday afternoon conference call with one of my Big Celebrity Personalities. Woo hoo.
xox,
