Tonight is my company Christmas party. I have to watch how much I drink so I don't say anything stupid about this sale.
How is everyone this morning?

And just to continue in the saga, the sale did not close last night, like it was supposed to. They're waiting on 1 signature from someone way high up at our biggest supplier. So it could fall through.
But in the meantime, we have been paid through yesterday and are now not on anyone's payroll, our system is down for 'maintenance' so I can't really work, our bank account had all the money moved out of it, etc.
The shit show continues.

M was in tears this morning because her throat hurt. Her temp was only 99.5 so I dosed her with motrin and sent her to school. Her ears are full but I don't think they're infected yet. Grandma will be keeping the kids tonight so we can go out for MH's 40th birthday. It's actually next Wednesday but I have a client Christmas party that night.
I'm sure if she complains too much that grandma can take her to the clinic before her party tomorrow.

Our CEO bought 4 bottles of champagne yesterday, to celebrate the close of the sale. Like dude, people lost their fucking jobs...you were supposed to be one of them. AND YOU'RE CELEBRATING.
I'm glad they're sitting unopened in the fridge still.

Ugh tgrimes I hope she improves throughout the day and has a great time with your in laws. And I hope you and your H have a fun night tonight! I sent B back to day care today and I am nervous every time my phone rings that it is DC calling to say he's sick again. Fingers crossed he stays healthy and I get a full day of work in for the first time this week! |

Maybe when they distribute final paychecks at the party. |

Funeral today. A came home last night and I get that he's exhausted but I had to make him get up and help the boys and then he put on the baby Yoda movie and sat on the couch while I folded laundry. I'm not happy. And I told my dad last night I'm done working until tomorrow. So he sends me an email and then Calls me. I answered the phone with an attitude and he got pissy with me. I snapped. Leave me the fuck alone. It is not a work day today. He says "well if you could get that taken care of that would he great" and hangs up.

Hi. I’m at work. M has a field trip today to do some STEM snowflake thing at the Natural Science museum. I really wanted to go, but I didn’t want to take off the only day of work this week, so Mh gets to go.
Hoping to get our Christmas tree this afternoon so we can decorate it tomorrow. Not much else going on.

I'll have to ask if this was addressed in any previous meetings! I think we will continue as usual, unless someone from the head office is in our office. |

Hey. I ran to target after I took S to school. Now I’m sitting on the couch dreading getting up to go get her. I have zero motivation today.

vino , thanks for looking out. I'm returning back from depths of illness. I was sick all last week with a bad head cold (slept through Thanksgiving meal), started to feel better SAT, then started to get sick again SUN. Tuesday found out I had strep throat. I've had it many times in the past but never this bad. I was miserable. ABX are a miracle. I'm still sick but feel like a human again. I'm back at work today and hope for it to be quiet. I had a million emails to sort through.
