Work & Birthday
Oh my God this feels weird. It is the last day of my twenties... whoa...
So I am going to wake up tomorrow & look in the mirror and say, "Welcome THIRTIES! Now please be good to me!"
Hopefully it listens & I have a great 30th year & some awesome thirties ahead!
Freaky-deaky... Why does one day make such a difference... I feel so weird... old... It just feels weird to say the word... THIRTY... I'm in my thirties now... WEEEEEIRD!
So anyway, maybe I am a little sensitive right now because of this, or because I am super tired... but I am miffed right now:
I am a little annoyed/upset.
Apparently some people have told their supervisors, who have told my supervisor, that they think it is unfair that I have a workstation of my own. Why do people make their own assumptions without asking me? Like, how do they know what the situation & what my arm can or cannot handle? Ugh, I hate crap like that. I guess something was said about my 'move'? I don't get what they think they know… I mean, I haven't done any heavy lifting or anything major with that arm… I paint with my right! Whatever, I know I won't have a problem getting another doctor's note… it just pisses me off that people think I am faking it or something when they really know nothing about it… How can they just go make assumptions without ASKING ME FIRST?!?
If you don't know the situation, I broke my arm/shoulder last fall - it was really bad. I am still somewhat recovering from it and the doctors have told me I will never be 100% again. I am still quite weak in that arm & still experience pain in certain situations. Especially when it is super humid or cold. Any change in weather affects it, really. I favour it still and having it up in certain positions for a long period of time causes pain & discomfort. Anyway, I work in a call centre where unless you are full time (and if you're not bilingual - good luck!) you don't have your own workstation. After I came back to work after the injury I was allowed my own desk so I could work without so much pain or discomfort. Well, recently they were adding a new system to the desks that are permanent/full time. So I asked my sup if it would be installed on mine as well. I got an email back today saying that it appears I am healthy now & may need to get a doctors note for me to be able to keep this as my desk. No problem... I am sure I can get one, but it just really irks me that people can talk behind my back without knowing shit aboutit or caring to ask me. Whatever. Fuckers.
One other thing makes me mad. I was talking to someone at work about the position I applied for that was 'cancelled'. They said that normally that happens when they just move a clerk typist or something like that from the department into the position, just because they know someone or something and they cancel the posting so it doesn't show that someone (possibly below me or less qualified) got the position. FUCK that makes me mad!!! That job should have been MINE! RRRRRRR!
I just don't trust anyone or anything around here anymore.
So we picked up a bunch of bright coloured streamers & balloons & put up coloured Christmas lights in the yard... even picked up a little disco ball from the dollar store! Cheeeesy or what, but I think it's so fun! I also got 4 big poster boards, neon colors to post on the garage for people to sign. I am getting pretty excited!
Not sure what I am going to do for this 'last day of my twenties'... My friend MB offered to take me for dinner. I might do that... I want to just have a somewhat quiet night, I don't want to be hungover or at all 'blah' tomorrow... but I also might just want to sit at home & chillax... either way, HW is out I think... he of course put off going to get me a gift until the last minute & will be going shopping tonight. I am guessing he will get me a charm for my bracelet or something 'cause it's easy! But anything will be nice... just the thought of him picking out something for me. And then he might be meeting Uncle K to go pick up a bunch of ricks to line the sides of the fence & by the house where we have nothing but dirt (or weeds) so that could take some time... and I'd rather him be busy tonight than another day this week when we have other shit to prepare...
But I dunno... I'm tired right now & don't wanna do anything... so we'll see how I feel when my shift ends at 3.
Can't think of much else to say now...
Except, goodbye 20, welcome 30! Happy ALMOST birthday to meeeeee! It's gonne be the best birthday ever - I am sure of it! I will make it that way, whatever it takes! I'll try & take pics to post too...
Oh yeah, and I bought myself an early gift. It's a cute baseball cap - pink with a blue Playboy bunny on it. It was only $9.99 so now I have a cute hangover hat for after my birthday! Lol...
I hope I go home to a card in the mail too.. I love that shit.
Anyway, bye for real this time.
