I'm still not talking with a coworker that I thought was a friend. Not a friend I hang out with or go shopping with or meet for lunch. But we email regularly and talk on the phone when we get a chance. She works out of one of our Holland locations so we don't see face to face a lot.
One crappy aspect of my job are Express bags. They are free for customers, they have a tag with their name on so they can drop and go or use to transport clothes. Great idea I just hate making them. Since we started nearly 5 years ago I have made close to 6,000 of these bags.
I like to wait until I get a big pile of forms and do them all at once. I realize I should get them out sooner but I put them off as long as possible.
I have no proof that this coworker complained about me to one of the owners but all signs point to her. I won't go through the mundane details but after speaking with another coworker she agreed she looked guilty.

S is back in the big D for the week. On the plus side I can eat whatever I feel like for dinner and eat when I feel like it, the dog sleeps with me and she takes up less room, and I can watch whatever I feel like on tv. The negatives: by the end of the week the house gets pretty lonely, no one to put lotion on my back (and this time of year it is badly needed), my dinner's are not well balanced (last night was mac n cheese followed by ice cream with chocolate syrup later in the night), watching tv by yourself gets boring after awhile.

I had posted on Facebook a voucher for $20 in food free to whoever (whomever???) would like to use it. It expires on Friday and since S is in Detroit we won't be able to use it. A coworker of the hubby's (we are acquantainces of him and his wife) saw it and told S that I should give his wife a call to hang out and use it. Since he works nights and is gone as well. I don't know her very well and still feel guilty for unfriending her on Facebook to be later confronted about it at the company Christmas party. (I told a little white lie and said someone had hacked into my account). So I messaged her on Facebook today to see if she wants to get together for dinner and/or drinks this week. We get along pretty well and had a nice time at the Christmas party but I hope I don't regret doing this.

Things I miss: being able to go outside, work in my gardens, leave without putting on a coat, hat and gloves, fresh Michigan fruits, a clean car that lasts more then a day, open windows, skirts, cute shoes, and static free hair and clothes.
Your first instance JUST happened in my workplace with someone else. She thought she was friends with someone only to have that person rat her out about something super small and relatively petty. That's just shitty when that happens..
ReplyDeleteAnd I hear ya on the getting lonely by the end of week part. I long to chat (or give hassle) with the Husband by that time too.
