I’ve been thinking about getting a new Macbook for some time since my old one seems to be always about out of memory and Apple products just seem to expire after a few years. It’s so nice to be typing out a fresh new entry on a fresh new keyboard with a gigantic (to me) screen. I got the 15” Macbook Pro and WOW! It’s pretty exciting.
So my old lil’ Macbook Air (I think it’s a 12”) will be my traveling companion because I don’t care if she gets scuffed up in transit. She’s on her last leg and it will be good to have something a bit larger than my iPhone screen to view photos on during my trips.
Plus, Apple products so rarely go on sale and Best Buy was having a Memorial Day sale, so I thought, what the hell. A whopping $350 off! The timing won’t really get any better. Especially since we got out of work a little early on Friday…though so did everyone else, so traffic to my Best Buy on the other side of town was hellacious.
So hey! It feels like a lot has gone on since I last wrote. Let’s see. I started an entry on Friday. Let me see if I can go back and get it…oh yes, here it is:
Today I will not fuck up a perfectly wonderful and sunny Friday (in which I will hopefully be leaving work early) with tales of woe about my job situation...except for one quick story:
Yesterday, I called a meeting at 9am with Boss, Little Boss and Goldilocks to go over My Big Project Status and a few other things. I’d gotten to the office at 7:30am to make sure I was fully prepared, had my props all aligned on the conference table and my powerpoint up and running - all was ready for the meeting.
Boss, of course, is late for the meeting by at least 15 minutes. Had to go back over a whole bunch of shit after he gets there. We get to the part when I do my demonstration with the visuals that I’d put together and Boss immediately takes a prop in his hand and turns directly to Little Boss, talks directly to him about it as if HE’D been the one up late the night before *CREATING* it (I was), and decided that certain elements should be changed.
Fine. Whatever.
At the end of my meeting, Goldilocks stayed after while I was clearing the table and says, “Kinda feels like a thankless job, doesn’t it?”
And I let out a HUGE sigh of...what? Relief? In the fact that I can tell that she SEES what’s going on here. We ended up talking about what’s happening for about 45 minutes after the meeting.
It’s what Parliament said on my last entry. Boss is not woke.
Boss also plays favorites, doesn’t respect people’s time, and treats women as if we are the ‘help’. I’m finally just flat out tired of this.
Enough, I know. I’m getting sick of hearing myself complain, and it’s MY situation to change.
That was Friday. We did leave work early, and I’ve had a lovely weekend so far. I feel like I got over that shit from earlier pretty quickly - but there’s more follow-up from that.
I have more to write, but it feels like I need to start a new entry for the big stories of the weekend. I’m also right in the middle of a big cleaning session and I’m going to walk with [Athena] tonight, so I may not be back until tomorrow.
Until then, watch out for an entry about meeting not one but TWO interesting men on Friday evening/night…
Hope everyone is enjoying the hell out of this long weekend!
Love to all!
