Update on life things in 2019 Amazing Stories!

Bossman stayed home today. Thank you sweet baby Jesus. I’m trying you guys, I’m trying. Besides just the general obnoxiousness of Bossman himself, M and A really don’t talk to me when Bossman is here. Its just awkward. Am I making things worse by being here? I was trying to not screw them over by giving them a 3 weeks notice. A put up a job posting for my job on Craigslist yesterday. Not sure if she (A) even got approval from Bossman or M because she legit charged it to her personal credit card. It was only a $10 charge (receipt sent to the payroll e-mail, which I receive e-mails from) but still. Who does that when there are corporate credit cards to be used? I’m under my 2 weeks now and they still haven’t contacted any applicants. I DO feel slightly better now because since being posted on Craigslist yesterday, we’ve only gotten one application and that person is only interested in the job if she can work from home and she only wants to work 20 hours max. Judging by her 40+ years experience, we can only assume she’s older and just looking for something “fun” to do in her spare time and doesn’t NEED the job to survive. We do, however, need someone in the office full time. We haven’t gotten any new applicants from indeed yesterday or today either. I don’t know what their plan is, and I thought it would become clearer as the days go on, but its not.

Yesterday was rough though. Two days in a row of Bossman and two days in a row of not really being talked to really fucked me up yesterday. I almost texted my therapist yesterday to see if I could come in earlier than when my next appointment is scheduled. I don’t think she’d have a problem with that at all since its extra income for her, but I told myself to just wait it out and see if today is any better. It is better because Bossman isn’t here and the office culture is how it normally is/used to be. But man am I exhausted.

Also, not sure if I bought a bad bag of dog food or if my dog is picking up on my stress levels because he’s had explosive diarrhea twice within the past 3 days. Monday it happened while I was at work, but thankfully he did it in the kitchen where there’s hardwood floor. This morning it happened before my alarm went off, but thankfully he woke me up and held it until we got outside. I didn’t know why he was waking me up though and I yelled at him for waking me up before the alarm (he knows the deal), but then when we got outside I understood and felt awful. He IS sort of at the beginning of a new bag of food so I’m hoping that’s what it is. That sht gets recalled all the time any ways it seems. So I bought a new bag of food this morning on the way into work (completely different brand), but I’m going to stop at the store again on the way home and get some rice. When I was little and our family dog got diarrhea, we’d give her rice mixed in with ground beef and the rice would solidify whatever was in her system (beef was just used to get her to eat the rice). So I’m going to give him some rice tonight and start him on the new food tomorrow.

Things will get better though. I know it.
