How do some people get ahead? I guess by hard work and determination, unless you are this guy I work with. He seems to kiss ass to get ahead and it is by far the most nauseating thing I have ever seen in my life. It is funny how the bosses act as if he is the best thing going since sliced bread. I just don't get it, I bust my ass, well at least I think I do and I get absolutely no recognition. He sits at his desk doing personal business and yet all you hear is "Alvin this, Alvin that"...gross. Maybe I am being stupid or childish but honestly, I is a sad sight to see and hear at that. Ok so I don't really car about recognotion, I do a great job and I don't need my boss to tell me, I just don't want to hear about Alvin anymore...
It Has Started....
Things are not going very well at work! As of yesterday they have given us the option of taking a voluntary furlough for a week at a time with the guarantee that you will have your exact job to come back to, which of course needs to be approved by your supervisor. How do they think that any supervisor will be willing to let someone in their department take a week off? They are also determine whether or not we will go on mandatory furlough over the holidays, Christmas and New Years. If that happens that means 2 weeks off from work with holiday pay. I would not be able to use vacation pay, therefor I am pretty much screwed. 2 weeks off, 2 days of pay for each week, what the hell do they think we are going to do??
They have also asked us to give our suggestions for cutting costs. My suggestion, well, suspend turkey's and wine that come in the company promotional bags . Really a 10 dollar turkey and a 3 dollar bottle of wine really will not make or break my holiday season. So as the economy worsens, I may soon find myself without a job. I just hope it happens after the holidays and not before.
Smoking..ugh
I have been thinking a lot about quitting smoking..again. The last time I tried to quit my husband refused to stop smoking in the house. Actually he would sit right next to me on the couch and light one up! I know, not very considerate. Needless to say I wasn't very successful and every so often he will try to bust my ass about it and I just tell him that the support system I thought I would have had just wasn't there and yes that means you! I think I may try to quit once again, nobody said it would be easy. Now would be the best time really, since we don't smoke in the house since we have moved and have to go outside, well I am not sure if I am up to freezing my butt off all winter. My fear though is I will gain the weight back they I lost and have to end up trying like hell to lose weight weight, the weight I already lost. I know I shouldn't think that way, quitting smoking would be much better for my health but it is still a concern of mine..besides I could save some money, alot of money!
