Morning and Happy Friday!
Last night things were calm up until Social Media hour. I just started browsing when I saw a car whip into my driveway and about take out my garage. A man leaped out of the vehicle and rapidly approached my front door. Cameras were on. I did a live view of the front door and he was placing a flyer. Then he left a little bit calmer than when he arrived.
I opened the door and grabbed the flyer. Of course it was the damn HOA giving us all an update about the amendments they asked us to vote on in December. Everything including the dues increase passed with an overwhelming majority. The president said that he recently went door-to-door to talk with several homeowners. Well he didn’t come by here. It would have been nice to know that the dues were increasing before the notice was plastered on my door. The flyer was a newsletter that they infrequently drop off. There was a blurb about having to print off the new CC&R’s and having to get them registered with the county and how much money that is going to cost. It’s all about how much they are spending and these people think we live in Beverly Hills California, you know the upper crust. When in fact were in the middle of nowhere and a very middle class neighborhood. There is now also a late fee on dues and if your two years late they “might” place a lien on your property. They have so little money that until the dues seriously increase there is no way they will be able to afford placing liens. Every damn time I think about this HOA it just makes my blood go straight to boil. I fucking hate them. I’ll pay my dues reluctantly but it’s only to keep them off my ass. I thought about making them beg for their money but now that I know there is a late fee I don’t want to give them anymore than they are entitled to, so I will be sure to pay by the deadline.
Between the HOA and my spineless boss who has shitty optics based on my review, I was just angry all night long. I had some insomnia, no surprise. Rudy was trying to get it on with his sister and that woke me up. I watched TV and she came to cuddle with me. After an hour I went back to bed. Morea climbed in bed with me and let me hold her until I fell asleep. That was so sweet. I guess she sensed that I was stressed out.
With regards to work I don’t know what happens if you fail to sign that you acknowledge a review took place. I also don’t want to find out. I did have a box to put in any objection with my review. I used that for the first time ever. I documented that I felt my bosses overall assessment of me was unfair and that we talked about it. He said that is the way he feels and I put in words to the effect that I think he needs a set of new glasses and reviews should be based on the actual caliber of work produced and not feelings. I further added that my caliber of work has not changed. Then I signed it and moved the process on. The boss has to sign off on it and I’m sure he will see it, which I could care less about. I’m sure all of this will put me on someone’s radar but it’s not fucking fair. The one who fucks up all the time gets promoted and a pay raise but here I am busting ass and producing top notch work but I am no longer exceeding expectations despite the fact I am continuing to go the extra mile. Me thinks it’s time to quiet quit and just do the average. I mean that’s how I am rated so why not live up to my rating? I should know on or shortly after Independence Day as to what kind of a pay raise I will be getting. My boss kind of beat around the bush that pay raises might be what they have been or slightly less but he “didn’t know”. He’s the moron who has to tell them what his feelings are as to pay increases for each person, so he fucking knows but he always acts like he is so innocent and clueless. He’s a damn good liar which I suppose is why he is in management. I’m interested to see how this all plays out but know that my heart won’t be in my work and I won’t go the extra mile since it’s no longer appreciated.
I’m glad that I have time off scheduled for next week and that today is the last day of the work week. I hope it’s beyond quiet until Monday but then again I don’t have the best luck. Still dreaming is free.
Sorry today’s post is nothing but a bitch session. I hope something good happens to get my mind to a happier place. Talk with you all again soon. I hope today is a great day for you and the weekend is even better. Take care.
