kukla_redJust when I had gotten myself worked up into a full bore grump last night over the whole "But it's Friday night and they want me to work late and it's the night before my birthday, and it's NOT FAIR!" whine, David comes along and with one sentence, changed everything. "So you'll work from home Babe and then we can go out to dinner". Um, I really should have thought of that myself! D'oh.
One of the nicest things about my job is that we do have the option of working from home, pretty much whenever we want to - as long as you don't have to go to a client site. So I will work from home and be done by 6. David won't even get back from the city until at least 6:30 or 7 and then we will just meet up with our friends as planned. I guess I was just so tired yesterday - and more than a little annoyed that a client would thoughtlessly request training at a time which they KNOW is unreasonable - that I couldn't see the forest for the trees, so to speak.
I feel better now. :)
Work has been incredibly busy again, after a lull of a week or so. This is good for the company and good for me too, since I don't like being bored. Hopefully it will also mean that we will get bonuses at some point. Money is always appreciated. We didn't get any bonus money in mid-March when we were supposed to get our annual reviews. Didn't get reviews either, actually. We did get rather minuscule raises, which is better than nothing. Hopefully if we hit some good numbers they will spread the wealth. In the meantime, at least I am gainfully employed and paid pretty well for what I do.
So it is Friday, we have a great weekend lined up and hopefully, work will not be so insane today. We're going to see this on Saturday. And we're going to see the Sabres play the Devils on Sunday. We also really need to shop for a suit for David. We have 2 weddings to go to this year (NO Tal, one of them is NOT mine!) and he has literally nothing to wear.
Have a great weekend, all! And thanks for all the words of support and encouragement yesterday. Matt, I might take you up on that someday!!
