An Update at Last

OK, ok, I know.  And I'm sorry  I lied.  I didn't post when I said I would.  Frankly, though, if you're sitting around worrying about when I'll post....you need to get a hobby!  LOL

Saturday was busy but fun.  Helped my aunt hang her pictures and such around her house.  She was doubting herself, but we agreed about most all of them, and her house looks great.  Sunday, we watched football with Mom and Dad and had a brisket so tender it fell apart with the touch of a fork.  Yeah, Mom's the best cook ever.

Monday, I finally got the final details of the new job.  A small raise, but I still get to keep my annual review in May, with another raise due.  I can live with that.  There is an uproar at work about my job change, but I can sit back and laugh.  My boss and me are the ONLY ones that I need to please, so I'm ok with the complaints....I thought.

Tuesday, the complaining continued, but I dealt with it.  I didn't have to listen to much of it, since I was sitting with the girl who is leaving, getting all "learned up."  I know how to do all of the duties, but need to see the process of logging the details.  No problem.  I got home to no internet.  WONDER-FREAKING-FUL.

Today, the griping had gotten worse.  More than one person has stated that I am not the right person for this job, and that my company is making a huge mistake.  The woman in me wanted to retreat to the bathroom for a good cry.  The genetic code in me (right mom?) wanted to kick their sorry asses and take names later.  I did neither.  When approached by my boss, (she had obviously heard the rumors,) I told her what I had heard, and that I could handle it.

She told me....pay attention to this part, it made my day..."We chose you because you are strong and your skills continue to exceed our expectations.  We know you will not just do this job, you will do it very well.  We made the right choice, and we're very happy with the choice.  I just hope you'll be able to ignore this nonsense."

Talk about your ego strokes! 

Life's good, now.  I can handle it.  I'm laughing off the grumblings, since the ones griping are those that I've carried for so long.  They will have to step up and face the music.

DO YOUR OWN WORK FOR ONCE!!!!

BWAAAHAAAHAAAHAAAA
