Behind the Times

Well it is summertime, and swimming lesson time, and new boss time, so needless to say I am BEHIND THE TIMES! Sorry I haven't been posting. Here is a summary of the happenings in my life in the past few weeks. . .

My co-worker that worked in the office next door to me was RIF'd a couple of weeks ago (Reduction in Force) shortly after he and his new boss filled a new position--the new person was to start on Monday, and Del was RIF'd on the Friday before the new person started. Isn't this illegal? He is actually very happy. One of my staff spoke to him and he is doing well--relieved--and taking a vacation as we speak before he starts back on the job hunt. Seems to me they did a pretty crappy thing, but if he's happy then I'm happy for him.

This leads up to the trust issue. For me, there is none at work, because, I too have a new boss. I actually really like her, but she used to work for our Chief Operating Officer, who just happens to be the boss of the new boss that fired my friend. Seems he likes to clean house a little bit. Well, my friend and I have both been there 13 years. . . so this is scary to me. Are they going to wait until the audit is done and fire me? Are they going to rig the audit so I get a bad wrap? Who knows--as you can tell there's no trust. AND, my friend's new boss is also our new VP of Information Technology--as a result, I'm doing very little on the internet at work--not that I abused it by any means before, but I'm only going to places that are for work. NO trust.

Another reason I haven't been posting is we have been Crazy Busy at home--and away I might add. Kory's class reunion was the weekend of the 20th, then we had swimming lessons at night last week, while in the meantime I had to get the camper ready for another camping trip. So. . . .last week was out of the question. We camped this last weekend--very nice weather--so it was worth the work--and being away from the computer, phone and laundry was very very nice. So, this week we have swimming lessons again every night, but Kory gave me the night off. What have I done? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! And it was a nice little luxury for a change. I watched tv and now am on the internet--and in a few short minutes I'm going to bed!!!

In the meantime, I'm hoping for a job change, as I received a phone call today from my new boss--my old boss left me with a big Medicare Cost Report mess--and I'm the only one who knows how to fix it because the gal who was supposed to take over this report from me a year ago never took a class and dumped it on our laps 2 days before it was due because she had to go on vacation. ARE YOU FRIGGIN KIDDING ME???? My butt would have been busted for that.

Can you tell I need to vent tonight? I know not every job is great, and if I find a new job it could be just as bad. . . I should be thankful I have a job. . . so. . . off I go to work again tomorrow. Wish me luck.
