Happy Monday Morning to you on a Tuesday Morning!!!

Well maybe happy for you...not me though. We are short two people at work. One says she's tired and the other is pregnancy related. I can understand the pregnancy one. I guess I am having a hard time dealing with people and their excuses. I am going to start talking to my boss and ask him for advice on how to handle it. Or I just might inform them that this is just like any other job and that it isn't fair to the people who do show up that they end up with all the work. I can't even take a day off without something happening. I did inform the one girl that it is necessary to show up on the days scheduled as its the actual company that is wanting the people. Also too, that they should take advantage of the time offered because we are over our hours allowed and that it won't last very long. I am nervous about going in today because I have not been there for two days. I know its going to be a mess and alot of fixing things. I can't stress myself...I really can't. Its soooo not worth it. I think this is how its going to work today. Assign the girls the easy stuff and I will deal with the shrubs. Honestly, I am a nice person and I can't have someone messing with the Barberry with the thorns at work. Unless I am mad at them...then guess what. You betcha I am. No I am just kidding...lol.

On another note, I found out that I am sweating alot at work. Which is cool, which means losing weight and that is really cool. BUT that I am having a allergic reaction. It seems no matter how many times a day I change clothes, or shower. That my body doesn't like sweat. I am on three different meds. for the skin irritations...and the medicated powder is some pretty strong stuff.

My goal is to lose weight, get better body tone and fight whatever this is. Cause its sucks!!!!


I sure hope everyone had a great Memorial Day and remembered our soldiers that have fought and died for our country....and also the ones that are still fighting for our freedom. I will never remember Bush has he is the one putting us on backburner and not thinking about our families with the troops. Let's enlist Bush to go to Iraq and see how long he lasts, and see how his family likes to sit at home and wait to receive that "one" phone call.

Cause ya had a bad day!!

I think I had the roughest day of my life at my job. I am overstressing myself and I shouldn't. See I work as a vendor thru one of our hardware stores, which is a major store nationwide. Well, there were only three of us to begin with and had three new people starting. The District Manager comes in and starts lying about what we are doing, for instance that we ALL take breaks together and go smoke. First off....we don't smoke. That is the funny part. He felt stupid. Secondly, the three new people JUST started as well. So that was something else that was funny, cause to begin with it was only the three of us and only two of us would be left working. I need to get myself focused on a new outlook on work and just focus on the job itself, forget the people who try to make it hard on us and do the best we can. I am going to make a up task list for each of my employees to work on so we can work together but also work and get ALOT more done at once.


There was a ***** employee that started to whine about how she had to work on Mother's Day and that someone should of been there. You can't explain to someone who doesn't want to listen that I make my own hours of when I want to work. Why??? Cause she's jealous. OH WELL. Then trying to explain to her that I have to drive half way across the state of Iowa to go pick up my Son from his Fathers on Mother's Day isn't my ideal of fun. OH and I did work the day before so she can go blow a big one for all that I care. Can ya tell I am stressing here??

Ok....I am going to go eat and relax and think about the coming weekend. I am NOT working. They can kiss my tutu.

Wow!!!

I can't believe its almost 10 o'clock at night and I am so not ready for bed. I've been running all over, getting kitty food, kitty milk, Jonathan's Neckerchif clip and belt for cub scouts. I went to the cell phone place today and talked about my phone and why its not working properly...I guess its a defect well the phone is no longer covered by warranty so. I sat down and tried to figure out the cheapest way out of buying a new phone and a new number. Not sure if I can even do it.

I did make it to Targeeet to get some laundry soap, fabric softener, and some body powder. A friend suggested that since we get soooo hot at work that there is some body powder that helps keep you dry. Well, I need that. I work up such a sweat that I am tired of looking like a wet rag doll everyday. So if it works...then I'd be happy.

Alright enough is enough...I need to hit the sack my butt is tired. I have a busy day tomorrow. We have 2 new people starting and I get to train the new ladies. So now we have Alysia, Nicole, Mike, Kelly and Sherry working under me. We are going to kick butt and get alot of work done tomorrow. I am so excited. We now have enough people to spread out, and we are going to work as teams...It works better for some reason. And gonna get most of the shrubs on the tables. Organize them out in front for the customers...and voila'.....


I forgot to mention, today while at work. We had a customer who didn't see a cart behind her and she went to turn around and she trip. She hit her head right by her eye and split it open. OMG, I bout died. I took off running over to her, she sat up but I told her to go slow and if she felt dizzy to let me know. She was crying, she got her shin...ouch. and her knee in which she has an implant. I am still worried about her. I sure hope she went to the doctor because I still think he needed stitches by her eye. The funny part was, I was telling someone what to do when it happened. I stopped, ran to the person in need and my co-worker turned around and I was gone. She goes...where is Christie??? I guess its the First Aid classes I took and training I had that I knew it was needed.

Hi.

Not too much going on, went to my Nerve Test today with my Doc. I wish I could say the news was good but its not. It was confirmed today that I have severe carpal tunnel in my left hand and between moderate/severe carpal tunnel in my right. The test itself was ok, the electricity pulses they send threw your nerves really didn't hurt. It was the needle itself that he put into the muscle of my hand in the palm of my hand is what hurt. He is dumbfounded on how fast my carpal tunnel progressed. Especially with my age, he doesn't understand how it happened. So on June 12th, Dr. V will be performing the surgery on my left hand. I am going to wait on the right hand. Why? Because I need something to be able to write, eat, and other things with while I heal. I can honestly say, I have not been as scared as I was today when the doc. told me about my hands. People take their hands for granted, and yes we use them for everything. I MEAN EVERYTHING. The best advice I have for anyone is to, be careful on what you do with your hands and treat them like gold. Cause someday, something like this can happen and bam, you start dropping things, you can't hold your phone to talk, you can't drive, and the pain that wakes you up at night isn't fun either. The medicine my doc. prescribed doesn't help with the pain.


Onto my Callie girl, her babies are thriving very well. I am still holding off taking pictures of the babies still. Callie is still having a rough time, she got sick this morning but is doing 10 times better now. If she does get sick again, I am taking her to the VET. not going to take that chance with my Princess. I think I am going to go spend more time with her here. I really think she likes me sitting with her and rubbing her tummy and back.

As for work....I am done. I don't know if I can take any more stress.
