Morning. I got nothing today. It’s wet outside and I think I’m just going to binge watch Bosch. I’m sad about it being the final season. Hope M has a good and fun day. tgrimes

tgrimes I hope M has a great time! We have storms coming this afternoon but for now it’s beautiful. Sitting on the beach pretending I don’t know my kids who won’t stop fighting while DH works at the house. I’m so looking forward to dinner tonight.

Morning! I hope M has a great day tgrimes! Nothing here. I cancelled my time off request for tomorrow. I have a ton to do and sitting with the other lady the last two days put me way behind. I have to wait to do so many things here...it's annoying. There are some things going on here that aren't being talked about that are making the entire work environment awkward.

I have so many appointments this month. I'm looking forward to the 26th when I have my yearly endoscopy, mostly cause I'll have the rest of the day off and I can sleep!

Cadence was on another level last night. So many tears and so much attitude. I get that she was just over tired, but damn girl! She told me to wake her up this morning when I left for work, but nope, girl clearly needs her sleep and I'm not messing with it. She's been sleeping until 9 most mornings!

Hi ladies. tgrimes the celebrity news has been depressing this week. Oh, I'm watching Mr. Grimes right now. I decided to start TWD again for my background show at work. The first episode was so good. Nothing exciting here. Tonight we have horseback riding and TKD. MH and I are going to different TKD lessons so we can take turns dropping off and picking up the girls at their horse riding lessons. It's July y'all. Wow.

This place is weird. So you have the lady I have been training under, Supply Chain Supervisor. She has worked here for 30+ years. Somewhere in those years, they hired someone who ended up getting her fired. But she was hired back. I will never get that full story, she definitely doesn't talk about it. But because of that, she holds all her knowledge very close and doesn't part with it easily. She's very nice and I enjoy her on a personal level. But working with her is awful. Very set in her ways, not willing to change, I've been here 3 months and have no ownership of anything. She always keeps 100 emails in her in box, some unopened, some trash, but others that needed a response 3 weeks ago. She half does everything, because she gets pulled in so many directions, but she's a martyr in many ways as well. She won't tell anyone no, even if the question doesn't lie in purchasing. Two weeks ago, they fired our Junior Buyer. Who needed to go anyway. He wasn't performing. This Monday, a new Domestic Supply Chain Supervisor started. First impression wasn't great. She strikes me as a know it all who likes to talk over everyone. If you're telling a story, she has experienced the same thing and will start her story before you're finished. So these 2 both have basically the same title, but no one has told us what responsibilities are going to be. OG Sup I think is using me as a shield by having me sit with her all the time, so new Sup can't come and sit or talk to her. I tried asking OG Sup how she felt about this, responsibilities, and she just laughs it off, says everything is fine. But it isn't because her demeanor isn't the same. Even another person who sits by us said she isn't her normal self. But she won't say anything to us. So things are just awkward. I just want to learn my job and work!

mwhip that sounds stressful and I'm sorry. I hope things get worked out soon. I went to target this morning and picked up a grocery order at kroger. We ate lunch and came home. The kids played in the lake at the bottom of our hill and all got baths. Now MJ is napping and the boys are playing. Their behavior has cost them all technology for 4 days. So it's quiet here.

That’s stressful mwhip. My boss that eventually got fired for other reasons held everything really close. It was very frustrating and when she was suddenly fired and I took on her job, I was pretty screwed. Have you spoken with her about learning more of the job? I’m glad she’s feeling better tgrimes! I just looked up that show lahdeedah. We are wrapping up True Detective soon and it looks like a good one to follow with.

M2 came upstairs crying just now, and right when he got to my bed, he let out a big pout/wine and his mouth full of rice and peas flew all over my bed. 😑
Let me add that to the list of things I will do when I visit my kid’s homes one day. 😂

I worked at the office today and we arranged it so I worked with my friends today. I got nothing done but it was nice to catch up. I’m off tomorrow. We had a busy weekend planned but now things are falling apart due to rain. We were supposed to do a night zip lining event Saturday but it’s canceled due to impending storms. Hopefully things are clear on Sunday since we have a pool party to go to.

I agree it’s a weird situation. mwhip Seems to me like they hired the other person with the same title to help fix/take on whatever it is that she isn’t. She is just screwed because she was wronged before and now she can’t trust others when it comes to her job. Very weird that there isn’t anyone to let you all know what’s happening and give direction/guidance on tasks.

Our boss and the operations manager seen scared of her...no one wants to piss her off or rock the boat. I have spoken to the other buyer about it and she said the reason I'm complaining are the reasons the person I replaced, left. Sometimes I sit there and think I'll just see how things play out. Other times I think I cant work like this. But until something amazing comes around, I'm not jumping ship yet. The stress level is low and same pay I had previously, so I'll just bitch about it to H.

Hello from Denver… still. We had a fun week at an awesome resort, went to the Rockies game one afternoon and spent the rest of the time basically at the pool. Our flight was supposed to be at 5pm today and we got to the airport and then found out our flight was cancelled….
What a pain in the butt. Our only option other than renting a car and driving over night was a noon flight tomorrow. So then we scrambled to find a hotel for the night. We Could have booked our same hotel for $900(!!) It was a work trip so we did not pay so had no idea. So instead, we booked a holiday inn with a free shuttle from the airport. Got there and it smelled so fricking bad, we turned around a left and booked another hotel down the road and walked with all our bags and crap…. And stopped at 7/11 to pick up white claws on the way, lol. Now we’re just relaxing in the room and hoping to get a good night sleep and no issues with our flight tomorrow .

Hey. I’m exhausted. We spent all day yesterday at the zoo, ate supper at Cheesecake Factory and then came back to swim at the hotel. Today we started with a few hours at the zoo and then went to a water park (with rides) for 3.5 hours. The big girls wanted to swim so DH took them by himself. I’m nursing V and will be going to sleep shortly.

Sounds like she had a grievance and has them by the balls so they can’t do anything about it.

slenle Cancelled flights are the worst. I’ve been hearing more people say they had a flight cancelled. One of the morning shows said staff shortages were to blame. I was looking at flights for fall break yesterday in case the kids can get vaccinated before then. The cancellations are making me think twice and then I saw a headline about a delta plus variant. I guess we’ll just drive wherever we will go. I may change my original plan of Chicago though. All the time in the car this month has me dreading another long road trip anytime soon.
