First off, now that I have vented, I want to apologize. I so wanted to do ICLW this month and I have been slacking because I was so sick. I am going to be a commenting diva this weekend to catch up, I promise!!
Recipe for pumpkin cookies is also coming soon. I just want to make some so I have pics!!
So I am on BCP's right now. I did my IV intralipds yesterday. It wasn't bad at all! Worst part? They forgot to tell me that I could take it out of the fridge an hour early, so it was pretty cold. I could feel it traveling up my arm and it made my skin cold to the touch. Weird huh?
Otherwise, did that (nurse came to my house!) and headed into hell....work, I mean work!!
Monday is the start of Lupron and I am excited to take one more step in the 2nd and SUCESSFUL cycle!
Did I mention I get to go see Journey in concert too?!? :D

Hire me??? Please??
I cannot stand my job. I think it's always worse when I have had a few days away from it, because although I do hate it on a daily basis, I don't loathe it as much as I do when I return from time away from it.
This week. Bad week.
While I was gone, literally nothing got done. Things got screwed up, and my office was turned into a shamble.
Get back. Spend over 40 min on Monday just trying to FIND my desk, then 3+ hours getting caught up, before I can even START doing my normal, daily tasks.
Get sick, work Tuesday, busiest day of the week, go home and tumble into bed.
Call in sick on Wednesday. Didn't really want to, but didn't really see what good I would be.
Went in Thursday, but late, my IV intralipids were that morning.
OMG, you would think I was gone a week again from looking at my desk.
Again, nothing got done.
How come my office is a mess when nothing is completed? ARGH!!!
Yesterday go to one boss, tell boss, we need to transfer money. Can't, money was "put" somewhere else. Ok, well, um, we have bills to pay.
"OH, we do??" *blank stare from boss*
Yes, we have "this much" in the checking acct, and "this much" due.
"OH!" *suprised, idiotic stare*
So there's that.
Today, come to find out other boss entered an order on Tuesday for one customer under another customers name. Other customer calls today, "I didn't order this." Boss, "haha, well call the other customer and see if they can work something out between them". HUH?!?! What kind of response is that? (And just for the record, if I had messed this up......I would have NEVER heard the end of it)
Other boss tells me I saved the "wrong" file to my desktop, it's "outdated". Well, it has all the info necessary and it worked while I was gone. Still boss starts another new, timewasting project, putting all this info in the file online and we are going to "market" the idea and sell it. Nice, AND boss needs my help, cuz ya know, I am not busy or anything (HA!!!)
First boss enters another order, charges card but does not close out order. I ship it and charge the card. Find out boss has previously charged them, refund the customer, apologize through email, and let boss know that in future we need to do all orders a certain way. Boss yells at me and says it's because I was gone. So, somehow my bosses mistake was my fault. And then informs me that I ship stuff all the time w/out charging for it so it was helping me out. Sigh. Let's make this about me and forget that I was just asking for you to do something a different way so we all do it the same.
I can't EVER WIN. I need to do something that stimulates my brain more. I need more freedom. I need a LITTLE positive reinforcement sometimes. I just want them to leave me alone.
I need a new job, period.
Sorry if this is flustered and hard to read. I am so upset right now. It might not seem like a lot, but day in and day out, this is my life. They are a husband and wife "team". Ha, that's funny. Best deflectors you have ever met, bullshitters to the end, least professional people ever, and behind the times trying to seem otherwise.
Just so you have a little background and don't think I am whining and it's really a fab place......since I have been there (2+ years now) they have had a high turnover. 2 people were there when I started, 1 quit within a month from stress, 1 within 3 because of unhappiness. Since then they have had: 1 stay for 5 months, 2 for 1 month, 1 for 11 months, 1 for 8 months, and 1 get fired after 2 days, and 1 get fired after 1 month. It's me. I am their office staff right now. Um, yay?
Best part? Usually when they want to get rid of someone, instead of just getting rid of them, they set out to (their words not mine) "make their lives miserable" so they quit and they don't have to pay unemployment. It's truly been a mind-boggling, learning experience since I started.
And I can't just quit! I have too much work ethic. I feel badly when I mess up still, I felt badly for calling in sick. I always pick up the slack because I have a fear of being fired and having that on my record. I also have a fear of leaving without another job because of the economy. And I want to give 2 weeks when I do.
But at the same time, I just wanna drop my keys and credit card on the desk and say, See ya, at least once a day. And I cry about it more often than not.
It's truly a superb situation.
So, does anyone wanna hire me? :)

The ABC's of ME!
Ok, I am a huge slacker. I realized it had been awhile since I had last posted, but geez I didn't know it had been THAT long!! Sorry, I am going to try and shape up.
Me real quick: On BCP's, started 9/14 while on vacation (post about vacation coming), doing intralipid infusion this Thursday, 9/24, and starting Lupron on 9/29.
I am also currently in the throes of a cold or of allergies that are not liking the change from CA, to MI and back to CA. Ugh.
Anyway..........
A - apples, I like them and I was so excited to get some while in MI, but the bag we got were mealy, so disappointing!!
B - bed, I am dreaming of bed right now because I feel icky!
C - cookies! Now that fall is "here" I am craving some pumpkin cookies.
D - depressed, sometimes being infertile really, really depresses me.
E - excited, for my bday my friends and H got tickets to go see Journey in concert!!
F - Fall, one of my favorite seasons, I miss the crispness and changing colors that MI offers
G - Grandparents, it was really nice to see our grandparents while we were on vacation
H - Home is truly a double word for me. Home is CA where our kitties and our jobs, house, and new friends are. But it is also MI, the place where we grew up, where are parents, memories, and childhood friends are.
I - IVF, a HUGE part of my life and for some reason, still a surprise even though it's my second go-round.
J - jelly, petroleum that is, for my poor nose, ha!
K - KITTIES!! We have two, a black kit and a tabby kit, they are our babies. :)
L - Love, one of the most important things in the world.
M - Money, something I have always been "worried" about, saving, etc., but something that bothers me more now as we use so much of our savings for IVF.
N - new haircut - I got one while in MI, bangs for the first time since 6th grade!
O - Out of Pocket - infertility is not covered AT ALL by our insurance
P - Purple, my favorite color
Q - Queen-size bed
R - Restricted, we talk about moving back east, but we are restricted by our contract with our RE and the need for jobs wherever we move
S - Sneeze, I hate it when you feel one coming on and it goes away. It leaves me feeling so stuffy!
T - Twix, one of my favorite candybars!
U - Unfulfilled, how I feel at my job
V - Very difficult to think of things for some of these letters!
W - Worth the wait, how I think we will feel in the end when (see positive thinking!!) we have our baby.
X -xylophone, just because I can't think of another X word
Y - Yarn, I am trying to teach myself to knit, but I have been bad and haven't picked it up in awhile. We were so busy for a bit, I need to get back into it.
Z - zzzzzzzzzzzzz that is what I want RIGHT NOW!!
Yay, I did it!! I will write a more worthwhile and up-to-date post soon. :)
