No new tale to tell.

Ah, what to bore you with today? So much news, so little time. Well, there's always...
  • The fact that I'm taking a pay cut to facilitate a transfer with my company, but don't yet know how much of a pay cut I'll be taking. Thoughts and prayers are gratefully accepted, as I will likely find out Monday what offer is on the table. After that, donations may also be gratefully accepted.
  • The fact that my boss hates me, or at the very least considers me an incompetent loser, despite the fact that a week ago she tried to extend my tour of duty until the summer. Friday, she took time out of her schedule to tell me what an ass I am. In all fairness, her comments, while upsetting, had some merit, but it didn't make it any more fun to hear. My sister pointed out how much more meaningful it is to hear those things by phone. It's like your supervisor is saying, "You know, I'm really busy and don't have time to come to see you today, but I wanted to know I'm thinking about you AND WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT YOU ARE." Thanks.
  • The fact that we're in the process of getting our first mortgage, and are soon to visit our new city to find a home (cross your fingers).
  • The fact that I'm experiencing constant, low-level anxiety and would like to stay in bed with the covers over my head. This could have to do with my as-yet-unknown new salary (see above), my alleged poor job performance (see above), the impending move and home purchase (see above again), or something else altogether that I don't even know is bothering me yet.
  • The fact that I'm still strung out on all versions of Law & Order, and nearly cried tears of joy when NBC began running ads for the new series, Law & Order: Trial by Jury (coming in March to a TV near you). I'm not the only one, I know, and it's like a dirty little habit. But you won't catch me giving it up for Lent.
Or perhaps none of that is worth discussing in any detail.

oh sweets - so sorry! I can relate to the performance review, but mine was kinder in the "this is what needs work if you want to keep this job" catagory, so I can realte, but I'm sorry you have to go through it now! On the brighter side, Narda will HAPPILY Come over to your house for ANY AND ALL Law and Order marathons!
