Blah
Another week ahead. I’m hoping that good things will happen. I’ve requested a meeting with HR tomorrow to discuss some unpleasantness, so please wish me luck. I also have some other meetings with people around town on my lunch hours that I’m hoping will be productive since certain avenues I’d hoped to explore at work now appear to be shut not only to me but to any candidate for the time being.
One of my close friends “resigned” her position last week so I’m a bit scared to speak to HR, but I also know that I can’t ignore these problems. Keep everything crossed for me and sorry for the lack of detail.
Today was an oddly unproductive day. Fought long and hard with Chapin this morning, even using the “D” word (we rarely do that — a month’s stress rearing it’s ugly head), then took Pumpkinhead out for “family time” to make up for being bad, screaming parents in front of him. Came home and took a two-hour nap to try to get rid of the headache that wouldn’t quit. Then my Dad came by to tell me my brother has lost yet another job and needs help finding a new one (in another faraway city) and couldn’t I spare some time to help him.
Tried to read for class but decided my head was in better shape to work on research for a paper instead. Now I’m off to bathe Pumpkinhead and get him to bed. Last night he decided it would be fun to make an “experiment” so he poured an entire brand new bottle of bubble bath and 2/3 of a bottle of shampoo over his rubber ducky and other toys inside a bath bucket. ![]()

Good luck talking to HR. I will say a little prayer for you.

Good luck with HR! Think positive and right situation will appear.
Or you could by a punching bag and visualize.
I’m sure things will work out.

Never forget . . . it’s only a lot of reading if you actually do it. ANd I, well, don’t do it.
Sounds like you have enough other stuff going on than worrying about homework .. . .

Yikes! Please feel free to email if you need to talk anything out further… (((HUGS)))

Thanks for caring, and tell me - how did your situation resolve with MeanGirls?

And yeah - good luck. Your job situation sounds sticky.

Girl, forget bad days or weeks. I’m having one of those bad years and it’s only February. I hope your meeting went well today.
