ceilidh - 2010-03-14 3:26 PM Hey Ghoulies. I had a crappy run today and all over feel so tired I could just sink into the earth and be swallowed up. I hope it is just a day and not that I am coming down with something.

I think I may take tomorrow off and do some shopping chores that I didn't get done this weekend. I WILL talk to you all tomorrow.


Hope you feel better.  Maybe a rest day is all you need!

Good evening Ghoulies! I had a fairly productive day cleaning the house (including taking the blades off the ceiling fan in our bedroom to clean them) so I rewarded myself with a nice 4.5 mile run before dinner. Now it's time to get cleaned up and cook. Have a nice night everyone!

A rest day sounds like a great idea.  Hope you feel better!

It felt good to actually get outside and ride.  I didn't go as far as I wanted too because my head was freezing.  I layered perfectly everywhere else.  Maybe I need to wear 2 hats next time.  Oh well, live and learn.

Hi all!
I have to run to the airport to pick up hubby in a few minutes but thought I would stop by here first.

I picked up my bike the other day but haven't had a chance to ride it yet due to a combo of it being too snowy and not having the right pedals on the bike at the moment. But javelin called back and they are taking care of hubby's bike this week, and will throw in the lighter zero seatposts they promised us. yay!

Good morning Ghoulies!

Today is the first day of my new, and hopefully incredibly temporary schedule. I am not happy about it.

Trying to work things out in my head I am going to have to get up earlier now that I come to work later. I'm going to have to get my runs in before I go to work. So instead of running outside in the afternoons in the 60 degree temps and sunshine this week, I'll be running in 40 degrees and dark.

Can you tell I'm a bit upset about this?

It looks really nice right up until the weekend when they are predicting more of the "S" word that we just got rid of

wgraves7582 - 2010-03-15 8:02 AM Morning Ghoulies - hope everyone had a good weekend.

Ann(e) how did the schedule change come about?


Good morning Bill

The gov't woman I work for hates me. I'm supposed to start work at 6, I have to send a stupid email to her when I get here and when I leave, so I don't cheat on my hours. I send the email at 5:40-5:45ish and she didn't like that. She made a big deal, and went over her bosses head to my company. My company sent me an email and said they spoke with her and I am not allowed to start work before 7:00 now.

It's all a big mess. She never said anything to our boss about it, and he got the email from my company, too. He was ticked off. His boss then heard about it and I had a meeting with him last week. He doesn't like this lady AT ALL. We had a nice talk, he said he'd fix it for me. I'm supposed to come in at 7:00 until he talks to this woman and our boss. Hopefully that doesn't take too long.

Ok - I remember the meeting but I didn't know they switched it up on you.  It will work out - don't you worry.  Ghoulie Karma is not a good thing to mess with


Her changing my hours around is what started this whole thing. I got dinged on my timesheets as well. I'm supposed to send them to my company weekly and I keep them all until the end of the month to get her to sign them. It is a major stressor to ask her to sign my timesheets so I hate doing it every week. I'll do it though, I'll just put them on her desk when she's not there.

I've been told by other contractors that it's a no-no for the gov't to even see, let alone sign, my timesheets. I need to do some more homework on this.

Make SURE you make copies BEFORE she signs them. I do not know how your contract works but usually that is NOT how it goes.

No problem. As Bill said, Ghoulie karma is NOT to be toyed with..
Plus, I could use to unload on someone who totally deserves to be unloaded on.

The hour changing was the straw that broke the camels back. I don't cover anything, not like the helpdesk guys. My hours don't really matter. It's just one more way that she could pick on me, and that's what she does, she picks on me. Other people have noticed it here and commented on it.

I got lectured by her before because I was taking up too much room in the refrigerator. We have 2 fridges here for 22 people. The entire bottom shelf of one is always empty, I put a 12 pack of water down there. That was the only thing on the shelf, and she gave me a hard time about it. I don't use the refrigerator anymore.

I used to have to go to meetings up in the other building. It is 1/2 a mile away and I would walk. She contacted my company and I got in trouble for walking to these meetings. I'm supposed to drive from now on. I started catching a ride with someone else who was going to them and shortly thereafter the meetings were cancelled.

It's just stupied azzed stuff like that. Even if/when my hours get changed back I am still going to find a job somewhere else.

Morning Ghoulies.

I am going to do a little work here then head out to do catch up chores. I am going to get on the trainer sometime today. Still not outdoors for me. The wind here is roaring like the lion of March.
Talk to you later.

You are right, she totally deserves it. No kidding.. DRIVE to a meeting???? I get in trouble if I drive too much (my job entails covering 1/2 of the state of NC- a LOT of territory).

Yep, you gotta get another job.
