Chaos

Today started off pretty good but this afternoon things have turned into Chaos.  I am taking a quick break before heading back to the madness that is work. 

Had my review and the only ding I got was that I mute my microphone too much when we are in meetings.  My boss has to ding everyone on something because according to his boss no one is worth of a perfect review.  However, one year I did get one that was perfect with no dings.  This year was close.  I was told that my boss is going to fight to get me the max in compensation but that it may or may not be as much as I have seen in years past.  I am reading into that but it seems like a tell that maybe raises won’t be as much as they have been.  Money for sure isn’t a problem because year after year ever since the pandemic we have turned record profits.  Each year they thing it won’t be as high as it was last year and we exceed last years goal every year thus far. 

I hate the fact that he had to ding me on anything because frankly I think I do a perfect job, maybe not every day all day but damn close.  I’ve given everything I have and then some.  It’s just how I was raised and it seems like the right thing to do.  Companies don’t honor loyalty like they used to though.

I am trying to tidy up loose ends before I leave for vacation.  Today is my Friday and I am quite happy about it.  Not having to work for the rest of the month seems like something I could get used to just as long as I had an income. 

Weather is super cool here.  Leaving the ceiling fans on it’s a little chilly upstairs.  It’s like a meat locker downstairs but I will survive. 

Cats are doing well but they sure don’t like it when I come back downstairs after lunch.  Rudy started crying yesterday afternoon and he did the same thing this afternoon. I hate to think of what he will be like tomorrow when I am not here for part of the morning and a good portion of the afternoon.  There is no question that they both love me and are quite attached and dependent on me.  I too am hooked on both of them and they do a lot for me that they don’t even realize, what’s not to love!

Well time to head back.  I hope your having a good day.  Perhaps later today or tomorrow I will have some Man Candy to share.  Thanks for stopping by.  Take care!
