Work Stuff: Ha. I love it. A MALE co-worker does something that Boss had asked him to do that coordinates with some of the stuff that I do. It was a simple cut & paste exercise and essentially about three emails back and forth to a vendor that he’s working with. Sure, it was a bit of help, but Boss fell ALL OVER himself to praise said male co-worker. His email back to mail co-worker read, “Outstanding work here! You have done such an amazing job going above and beyond on this project.”
Meanwhile, I have yet to hear even as little as a “fuck you” for all of the work I’ve done on this project. Oh yeah, and it’s not even MY project that I’ve created, designed and developed and now working out all of the fine details of. It’s my [other] male counterpart’s project…of which he has minimal input and essentially nods his head in agreement with me. You guys, it’s INSANE. It’s crazy-making!! I want to be zen about it and let that shit go, but it’s like he’s doing this on purpose!
Meanwhile, CEO asked me a question about the project this morning. Boss is still out of the office on vacation. Guess what I did? I gave her my glorious timeline mentioned in the previous entry! YES I did! And I gave her some color commentary on all of the stuff that I’ve put together for the project. Uh-huh! So at least she knows what’s what. I am large and in charge at the moment. She recognized this a while back, but I reiterated today.
We’ll see what happens on Monday when Boss is back.
Health Stuff: Blood pressure still reading perfectly normal after stopping coffee for 4 days. Well, today is day four. I have to tell you, I did some reading about how the withdrawal would be hellacious, and yet, no. Day 1 was a tiny bit painful with a slight headache and some tiredness, but here’s the kicker, and this may be something - I have been drinking some (not a lot) of tea instead of coffee, so the little bit of caffeine I’m getting is probably helping my withdrawals and somehow keeping my blood pressure at very good levels. Could this be my answer? Tea instead of coffee? I actually like the taste of tea better than coffee (now that I’ve given up dairy in my coffee), so…I’m thinking this might be the thing for me. I especially love green tea. I’m kind of excited about my discovery!
Sexy Stuff: Yesterday, Bachelor Party Marty sent me the epic text series to end all text series! It went on and on…message after message! Sext after sext! It read like a dirty novel, as if he’d been reading 50 Shades of Grey or something. Seriously, sometimes I think that he’s truly studied “older women” and what the guidebooks say they like…and then he uses every trick and tip that he reads/hears. Don’t get me wrong - it’s kind of cute and it’s VERY flattering, but I don’t want him to horn in on my long weekend in New York. Maybe we can plan a hit-it and get-out type situation. Booty call? Like, if I’m somehow awake at 3am or something and he happens to be close by and we have the urge to scratch each other’s itches....
Other Dude Stuff: Nothing much planned for the weekend. I did rummage around on the ol’ Bumble app and started texting with a guy who I couldn’t really tell was handsome or not. You know the type - they probably don’t photograph well or they’re in a bad light - but his resume read impressive and he seemed very self-assured.
I texted him my phone number at one point and he called me after a while. But I was walking the dog when he rang, and sometimes it’s hard to talk and do the walk at the same time for various reasons - city noise, sometimes Martini barks, other dogs, people want to chat, panhandlers…you know. Basic stuff. Plus, I was exhausted. So I didn’t answer. Nor did I text. I actually just went home and to bed and fell asleep.
When I woke, there were like 15 texts from the guy - each one increasingly more mean and hateful (saying things like, “you’re a woman of your word” and shit like that…I mean, what word did I ever give you? What did I not do that I told you I was going to do?) and ending in some kind of cartoon image showing a woman giving a guy a blow job.
SERIOUSLY?? It’s shit like that…
Travel Stuff: But let’s think about better things, shall we?
I’m planning a trip in September. It’s a quick 10-day thing and it’s nothing too exotic, but I’m excited. Starting in Paris at the design show (so I’ll get a little bit of creative juices flowing and can use this inspiration for future projects) and a little Parisian flea market action (LOVE!!!), then popping over to London where they will be having a design week as well, and then on a train to Scotland (I’ve never been) where I’ll take in some gorgeous scenery in the Highlands, taste a little whisky and maybe peek under a kilt or two!! I’m so, so excited about this and have it about halfway planned already!
Also, apropos of something, who’s into the Royal Wedding? I am for sure! I stupidly scheduled my Saturday morning workout for the exact time of the wedding, but I’m going to watch the pregame and then take in the highlights when I get home. Super excited to see the pomp, the circumstance, the outrageous hats and of course, THE DRESS! Oh, and handsome Harry, naturally. Never mind all the family drama, I love a wedding!
With that, I’m off to start the weekend. Have a lovely time, lovelies!
xox,
