Still waiting for the results. Hoping to find out today. She fell asleep quick last night and I did too. Both of us were exhausted. I’m hoping she wakes up with no fever so L can go to school. But I’m thinking both kids will be home today. Not looking forward to distance learning and all my work meetings this morning.

I'm at work today so it's my in-laws first day of doing virtual school with C. They're both there so they should be able to divide and concur. I'm slightly worried my MIL will be basically sitting on top of C yelling into the computer and fixing every little thing he does. We shall see though!

Morning ladies! chrisy01 I hope you hear something today! wineallthetime I hope C has a great first day of school! Thursday, so it's my one day of actually putting on makeup and going to the office. I think being so isolate is starting to get to me. My mom sent me a text last night and asked if I was upset with her. She feels like I'm distant. I'm like, yeah, I'm distant from everyone, I don't go anywhere or do anything. So I guess I need to make more of an effort, even though I don't feel like it.

mwhip I get you...inertia is a powerful thing. In the spring when we were at home so much, I definitely got into that 'habit' and once I did have the option to go/do more it took more mental 'get up and go' than I would have thought. Hang in there!

I took a melatonin last night hoping I could sleep better but I still was up a million times. M is already on a brain break dancing to pop see ko, so that will be in my head all day.

Morning! DH took B to the bus stop this morning on his way to work...some days he has to be there early so it's nice when things line up! I have an appt for Botox later...C was supposed to go to my sister's but she texted that her ILs were exposed to Covid, and she was with her ILs this weekend (thankfully no one has any symptoms yet). Sooo I nixed that...if we get it through 'natural causes', fine, but can't take the risk esp. now that school is back in session. So I called my dermatologist and they said C can come with if she'll wear a mask. It should be fast, and I promised her an ICEE if she's good

Who's ready for some work places effedupness?
So, they let the receptionist go. Her last day is Sept. 30th. She has vacation time accrued so she is taking a shitton of days off in Sept. I think she only has 4 actual work days left. So the AR and I assumed that would mean we would get her hours, at least boost our hours up to 30, increase our paychecks a tiny tiny bit, since we're the ones sitting at the front when she's not here. Yeah....nope. Head partner decided that his wife will be coming in to "volunteer" and sit up front to cover those shifts. Seriously? WTF? So AR asks the "office manager" and she basically has no clue why he is doing that because she had assumed the same thing when they let recep go, that we would fill in. We are not in dire straights here, AR sees how much money we have coming in. Office manager says they are worried about rough justice. Rough fucking justice. Their end of year meeting where they divide up the profits among themselves. Head partner is also one of the 4 building owners. They sold the building. I saw the purchase price and lets just say dude is officially a millionaire now, so I'm not thinking the rough justice meeting should really matter to him.
I feel like an idiot for sticking around. It's like I'm in a bad relationship that I can't just cut the ties on. If wifey is still "volunteering" by Oct. 1st, then I'm buckling down and really looking for another job.

That's all nonsense klong11, probably a good idea to get your resume out as much as possible so you can move forward.

Hi everyone. I’ve got a virtual yoga class in 1.5 hour. I’m happy football is back, starting tonight. And then there is a virtual cool along with my work tonight.

I'm just having a mid-life crisis in that I don't know that I want to do office assistant/paralegal crap any more. If preschool teachers made more money, then I think I would prefer to do that. But, here, they don't make shit and I might as well work at Chik-fil-a and make more.
But all jobs I've looked at have been a pay cut. So it's all crap.

That's really annoying klong11. Greedy fuckers. I have no idea what this pop see ko song is. I thought it was a typo. Lolz. I definitely find it takes more energy to do stuff again after hermitting for months. We used to frequently go from one activity to the next on a weekend and be gone all day and now that seems like a lot.

It's really crappy how preschool teachers are paid around here too. Kind of an important job, the pay should reflect that. When all the defund the police talks were at their height MH said something like, "What social workers would want to do that kind of work?" I pointed out that a lot of social workers already have dangerous jobs (working in prisons, institutions, etc.) and many would happily do it if they were paid well instead of the shit pay they usually get. They can obviously afford to pay a SW the same amount with the same great benefits as they do the police but they choose not to.

I WFH today and I'm trying to get the most out of it because it's my only WFH day and I work my other job the next 3 days and it always drains the energy out of me. The days are long with no real breaks so I have to be "on" all the time.

Morning.
Thanks for all your support yesterday for the appeal hearing, it went well since I was prepared. She on the other had admitted, not only in her response documents but through the hearing, that she has broken many of the rules, so it was kind of a joke that she didnt take it seriously. In any case, the board makes their decision and we'll be notified within 14 days. I'll keep you posted.

Morning. S threw a fit this morning before school because I made her wear H’s old tennis shoes instead of her new ones. She had to because one of her tennis shoes is missing, and it’s gym day. I cannot figure out where this dang shoe has disappeared to so I hope it appears in the next couple of days. V has been tooting all morning and I’m pretty sure I’m in for a big blowout when she finally poops. Fun. Now I’m going through all of my jeans to figure out which ones fit me, which is always a great time. I have a meeting before work tonight and it’ll be nice to see some of my coworkers that I haven’t seen in a while. klong11 that’s crap. I’m surprised the wife would want to do that in the first place. Greedy effers.

So many zooms today! I don’t really think this is for us. We were trying to wait just a couple of weeks to see what would happen with the opening of schools but maybe we have to send Josie back earlier. Just a lot of waiting around staring at a screen.

I also think it would be challenging for the wife to do the administrative assistance work because she need to be pretty familiar with some of the details of the company.

trtlcrzy- going through jeans already? You are too freshly pp! It’s been cold! 40 degrees in the mornings. This is encouraging me to stop eating so many treats and start exercising so I can lose some weight. I found 2 pair that actually fit, the rest are still pretty tight.

Hi. I’m at work today. It’s not busy and I’m just waiting for lunch. My boss is buying our dept. lunch to thank us for the hard work we have put in recently. It’s been busy and we have been staying past our normal times, so it’s nice that he wants to do something for us.
I have to drop off some returns when I leave work today and make a small grocery run for fruits and veggies.
