Got a new boss. I had an ooky feeling, and it proved correct. Someone who is a supervisor for another department, and with whom I have had very poor experiences, took the job as manager of my department. I was physically ill hearing the news. Blech. I genuinely can't tell if I have just hit a wall in employment land in general - I have worked in some form since I was 12 or 13 and I am TIRED - or if it's this place and I need to move on. I suspect it may be both.
I am also tired of the cats peeing. Toying with finding a cat behaviorist, because I cannot figure out why they are continuing to do it other than habit at this point. I have three layers protecting the primary target, and sweet baby Hank always alerts me when there's a fresh pee I can't see. He investigates and stares at the spot. Somehow these mofos manage to hit gaps in the coverage. Anyway, just another thing of which I'm tired, but I love these stupid cats, so what can you do?
Another wearying thing: awful communication from window people. In May: we'll check in when the windows come in. Didn't. In July: sorry about that, we'll let you know, should be end of summer. No further word. In September, after sending five emails and/or texts: gosh, sorry, personal issues are making me unable to function. Will get back to you to schedule, looking like mid-October. Check the calendar, folks. Sure would be nice to have double paned windows as the weather cools. Wouldn't it? There has been nothing further. And I am trying to determine how to ask either for my money back or the windows for which it paid so I can find someone who is actually interested in installing them.
I'm in a bit of a doldrums, apparently. I MAY have a bright spot in that I could potentially be putting a stamp in my passport next year, with a visit to Ireland. Fingers crossed. I jokingly invited myself along on a trip a friend is taking and she's amenable. I loved Scotland, so I would like to think a hop, skip and a jump over will also be wonderful.
^Yes. I sure did. It was a bit of a rough start for him walking with these on. I trimmed the legs by about six inches, but he still kept tripping and getting his front legs stuck. Like his person, he's wider than the manufacturers believe he should be at his height. ;)
^My sweet pee narc. Hank, such a good boy.
^Cat sit last week. This fella was blocking the stairs the final day, didn't notice him till I started up and he was way too interested in Walter. Made me very nervous! I shooed him off the steps, and then instead of leaving Walter on the porch, he came in with me that day!
^Heard rustling, looked out front window and saw this guy munching away on my lilac. They really went to town on it and the hydrangea this year. The hydrangea is so pathetic looking. Maybe next year I should net them. Eh.
