Great.Great.

It’s a waaay weird and stressful day. Gah…..

[Not that I am busy or anything]

Seriously, I am working on some piddly-little thing that is barely keeping me busy and it’s a wonder that I have stretched this out as long as I have.

But, today it may all be over. Yesterday, I heard that there was a position open in another department and I spoke with the department head about it. Silly me thought it would be a lateral move and didn’t’ realize this until after we spoke to the HR person about it. But, HR couldn’t talk to the big boss [fortunately] because he was all up and arms about two of our major contracts not being signed yet. The two contracts, I might add, that were going to keep me employed. Yeah, so major stress-ball office ju-ju right now.

 Le sigh.

Knowing that this was not a day for negotiation [of my lesser being] I skedaddled [wow, that’s actually a word] to an early lunch hoping to miss being dragged into the lions’ den bosses office and made to agree to less $ or unemployment. [My phone is blinking low battery and that’s what I feel like as well.] I sat in the car in front of the Starbucks not really feeling like coffee with the windows rolled down talking to Joey on the phone. I am going with her to her doctor’s appointment on Thursday. She’s had a rough time lately with hypersomnia. We don’t know if it’s side effect(s) from the medicine or something else. And, if it’s the former will she have to make a choice to going off it and being in pain again and walking with a cane or staying on and suffering these side effects. Gosh, I don’t know – it’s a toss up either way – just flip a coin. Right. It’s serious and it’s been hard. She’s been upset, worried and, of course, sleepy.

Not like I don’t have a damn thing going on. Most friends who ask “How’s it going?” Get a reply of “Great. Great.” And…..I just leave it. Because, really, what I want to say is “Unless you have time for a beer -anything short of a 420 will just get you a canned answer.”

When do we get to the part where the medicine works (without horrible side effects), I have a job security career and the website makes money?

When.do.we.get.to.that.part? Because it’s kicking my @ss. Is it time for a 420 yet?
