Sorry readers, for this abbreviated posting today. I just spent a good amount of time writing a very thoughtful and informative post, but who knows what happened and blogger logged me out when I hit publish. So here's what you missed:
- I got talked to about getting more hours at the museum. They are beyond confident that I will be able to handle my obligations as weekend manager and work events that are held in either building. They still have to discuss whether I will be hourly or salaried full-time, but that should be decided upon shortly. Either way works and again, it will take re-adjusting my schedule since these extra ten hours per week will be in the evenings or early mornings.
- I really enjoy babysitting my little cousins. After seven hours of meetings and cubicle work, playing football, baseball and having a four year old fall asleep on you is just what the doctor ordered.
- Per a suggestion on the phone yesterday, I took my car to Buff Whelan for managerial inspection of my windshield. I got there at 7 when service opened, he didn't arrive until 8:30. Good news: I finished the book I was reading in record time and picked up another one (yes, I keep at least two books in my car at any given time). So 8:30 comes and I pull around to the service doors and he comes out and says, nope, it's from a stone. I didn't argue, just pulled out and drove away.
- While in the service bay waiting for the manager to come out, I saw my salesman. Be it my car and color or his salesman memory, he remembered I was going to a concert that night I bought the Pearl and asked how it was. Even he couldn't see the point of impact, but I wasn't expecting them to actually agree it was a stress crack anyway. It was really nice that he remembered me. He first asked if I was there for an oil change, which makes since, seeing as I only bought it three months ago. I think he would have fell over if I told him it had 9700 miles on it already. Ha.
- I spent an hour on the phone trying to figure out how to replace this window. I made a claim through my insurance and am set to have it replaced tomorrow morning. So that's exciting.
- I am putting forth an conscious effort to stop being so impatient, intolerable, short-tempered, and go into swearing tirades whenever something I can't control happens. If it's out of my reach, I shouldn't let it get to me so much - because I realize now that it also gets to those around me, which really just makes me feel guilty and horrible. Getting pissed so rapidly does nothing for the situation nor does it solve anything or make it go away. I'm not sure what made me so wretched in the first place, but I've come a long way in a short amount of time and should only get better from here on out. I'm recovering and I don't want to be seen as the person who only sees badness around her. I'm done being that girl.
That in a nutshell is what I tried to blog earlier but knew I couldn't recreate. The bullets should help make up for lost words. ;)
