Today was massage Thursday at the office. I haven’t had a massage in a couple months. There are knots abound in my back and yes it hurts but somehow I still keep putting the left foot in front of the right foot. Speaking of feet they are killing me as well but I guess this is the joy of aging.
So I got a knock on my cube door this morning and it was the massage therapist. She got me a large slice of my favorite pie that they stopped making last month. Remember I wanted to go but didn’t. She did it because she heard about Big Boy’s passing and wanted to extend her sympathy. That was a very nice gesture. However, as I was eating it I had some doubts the container was a little dirty and my stomach began to ache. By lunch time all I wanted was my sandwich and a soda. Stomach is back to normal now but it was touch n go there for a bit.
The hottie that worked for the building management company is no more. Not sure what happened to him. I talked with him on Tuesday by email and had another request on Wednesday and when I sent it, I got a bounce back. That was quite the surprise. I never got around to meeting him in person, another reason why you shouldn’t put off what you can do today.
I had my review this week and it was damn good as I had expected. I was told that I am the hardest working employee my boss has. Damn straight! He didn’t put that in my review but if you read between the lines it’s there. So the pay raise part is a whole mystery. We won’t know anything until July. I can tell you that I was submitted for a large (not sure how much) bonus. It’s still in the approval stage or so I am told. I think the news is available but they just can’t share it yet. Best part is they tell us in July but it’s retroactive to June 1. Good thing I put in that OT last Friday. I had to stay last night as well. So far for this pay period I have 8 hours of overtime and I am not even on-call. Not bad.
I’m counting on a large pay out and mentally I have it spent already. Thankfully it’s only mentally spent and not physically spent. I can tell you I plan to reward myself with a writing instrument, as if I need another but since you only go around 1 time it’s my plan. Now we just have to wait and see what comes to fruition.
My more senior level co-worker who has been there forever, decided to bite my head off when I made a friendly call to inquire about an urgent issue. He was such a smart ass. I bite my tongue. I am always helpful but since he is on-call this week he decided that he should take all of the trouble tickets that come in. That’s fine by me, I told the boss about it and told him unless I received a directive I planned on sitting back and watching the tickets pile up. Pile up they have, he’s been like an octopus all week long. I did take one but I knew it would come to me eventually, no sense in delaying the inevitable. The on-call person is supposed to act like a traffic cop and dispatch or assign tickets but very rarely does that happen. I would be asking for help this week if I was on-call there is no way one person can keep up with the volume we have had. Phishing and viruses are on the rise. So is stupidity because otherwise intelligent and educated people click a link or enter credentials when they shouldn’t. They know better but they still do moronic things. Good thing for that or else I might not have a job.
Well I promised Momma we would go up at 7:30p to watch TV and I have 1 minutes so I’ll chat with you all again soon. Happy Friday eve.
