WOW was it cold out this morning! I can't believe that fall really got here overnight, but it seems like it did. Cool, crisp and sunny. Nice day, but just REALLY chilly! Not even 60 degrees out yet this morning.
Monday morning I headed back to work. This week I realized how hard it is to write on here on a workday. My life is so busy and all over the place. Anyway, back to work. When I got there, my 4 days off resulted in 131 emails waiting in my inbox. It was Wednesday before I could get to Monday! Talk about being overwhelmed.
Monday afternoon I had a meeting with several people. Our head in-house HR person, my boss, and the company president. They got my email about the sexual harassment thing. It was 20 minutes of bs. My thoughts on "no contact" were not their thoughts. They said "no DIRECT contact" which to them means no one-on-one calls. A conference call is ok though because others are on the phone too. Transparency. Whatever. All bs if you ask me.
Keeping with that, Wednesday afternoon we go an email from the company president that they just closed a HUGE deal they have been working on for the past year. Since its all a confidential thing, I've removed parts of the email, but here's some:
*************************************************************************************
GREAT NEWS to share…..we have just been approved as XXX for XXXX business! They are a HUGE player in the marketplace and this means a great opportunity for "US" and all of our employees. This news is still confidential and MAY NOT be shared outside of the company at this time! We are working with XXX on a nationwide marketing launch of this relationship and will keep you posted on our progress.
I want to take a moment to thank all of our staff who were instrumental in helping make this happen, most especially, my thanks and accolades go out to "SVP Dickhead" for bringing this relationship to us and managing the year long due diligence process. Great job everyone!
Regards,
Company President

Really? Thanks and accolades? How's that for a slap in the face? Makes sense why they didn't fire him now. I can't even explain how pissed off I was got this email on Wednesday. So many things make so much more sense. They keep changing the rules on this crap. I'm still on the fence, but considering talking to an attorney to just feel out my options at this point. I mean, why am I busting my ass for this company who rewards this guy with an email like this to the whole company after everything else he has done???? That's just absolutely bull shit and nothing more.
On other notes... The meeting on Monday afternoon was at 5:10. I stayed late to talk to them. I was fine when I walked in there. While talking (sitting in a chair, no pen, no paper, no nothing in my hands, just me, sitting around a desk with the other 3), my hand started to hurt.
By the time I walked out of that office at 5:30, my right wrist and hand were bruised and swollen. No idea what I did. My boyfriend thinks it was the stress of the meeting. I'm not disagreeing that was part of it.
This is the same wrist I broke 3 1/2 years ago. I pulled out the old wrist brace, started icing it and taking some prescription anti-inflammatory meds I had from June for my back. Tuesday it was worse, and with typing and using my mouse, my hand was in more and more pain as the day went on.
I left work at 2:30 for the urgent care clinic. She gave me more and stronger meds, told me to keep using the brace and continue to ice it but sent me for x-rays and wanted me to see an orthopedic because of my history. The x-rays didn't show a break or anything abnormal (which I knew), and my ortho appointment is Monday morning at 7:45.
As the weeks gone on, my hand has gotten better. The swelling is almost gone, bruising gone, but the strength and range of motion are not completely back. More in my right thumb than anything else. I think it was tendons or something soft tissue, which is what I originally thought (even before the x-rays... knew those would be a waste of time).
What else???
My boyfriend has been so good to me with my wrist and everything else. He's just such a great guy. OH! Sunday night we went to dinner with my parents and that went so well. I know they like him and are now more comfortable with him. Kind of good he went with us then because of my cousin's wedding next Saturday.
But he was really kind to me all week. Wrapping the ace bandage around for me to hold the ice in place, carrying things for me and just being even nicer than usual. He's just really sweet.
I'm still over there ALL the time. I haven't slept in my own bed in September. I've been at his house every single night. Monday and Wednesday nights I had the track, then went home and waited for him to get home from the gym before heading over. Tuesday and Thursday nights I was home (no pilates with this wrist!) and just went over around 9 each night when he got home from the gym... he's been there every night this week.
I get there, we hang out, watch a movie or tv, or a game or something (last night was the special on the NFL Network about Bill Belichick, SO good!), then go to bed. My phone alarm gets us up at 6:15 and he lets the dog out and hops in the shower. I'm usually up between 6:30 and 6:45, put on the news, brush my hair and teeth and we leave together around 7 when he goes to work and I go home.
Then at home, I feed the cats, give McGraw his shot, have some coffee, check my email, watch the news and hang with the cats before showering and getting ready to head to work. That's been my week, well more my month! :) And no complaints from me! I can't even imagine NOT sleeping in his arms or next to him or wrapped up in him every night. I don't want to sleep at home.
I love my apartment, my stuff, my space and I don't want to get rid of anything here, but I love sleeping at his place each night. This is working for me and for us. I'm not looking or asking him to change anything. I like taking my bag back and forth each day, my meds/vitamins, cell charger, had and anything else I need. Just toss the bag on my kitchen table when I'm home, refill what I need and grab it on the way out the door at night.
Tonight will have lots more. I have to leave here at 2:30 to go to his place for the wedding tonight. I'll be dressed up and need more clothes, shoes and everything. But I'm looking forward to being dressed up with him. I can't wait. :)
Not too much else going on right now. Hurt my wrist, bs at work, 2 nights at the track and no pilates this week. A wedding tonight and today off of work. Should be doing some errands, but enjoying being lazy right now! :)
Tomorrow I'll chill, maybe catch a movie during the day. Not sure what I'm doing with the boyfriend tomorrow night. Chinese food has been on his mind. Maybe that and a movie together (I want to see The Help, but I'd see that alone or with a friend. Contagion with him if we go tomorrow night.)
Sunday morning I have a 5K race bright and early. Not sure yet what I plan on doing about the wrist, if I'll wrap it or not. I don't know. Then the Pats game is at 4:15. I already told mom it'll be too crazy this weekend and I won't be up. I'm not sure what time the race post party will be over and too much on a home game to run around like that. Besides, next weekend is my cousin's wedding and I'm sure we'll be sitting with my parents and we are staying up in Maine at the wedding overnight too.
Next week will be more of the same. At the boyfriends house, I'm hoping, at night. Not 100% about Sunday- Wednesday night. Me staying there just sort of happens, we don't talk about it in advance. Thursday night is part 2 of the Bill special, so I know I'll be there then. I don't have the NFL Network at home.
I most likely will be sleeping AT HOME next Friday night. I'm planning a girls night out as a belated bday thing. So far I think we have almost 15 of us going. Not sure who's doing dinner, but we'll be hearing this great band at a bar nearby. I can't wait! Should be a blast. But it'll be hard, especially after drinking, to sleep in my own bed alone. :( OH well. The next day is my cousin's wedding anyway.
Ok, so that's it for my book today! LOL! Almost 10am now and I REALLY need to start moving. The post office, supermarket, maybe try to find black sandals, home, shower, toss in a mani/pedi on my own. Busy day! And be completely ready and out the door by 2:30. At least I filled my tank last night. OH crap, need to hit the bank for cash for the wedding gift too! Lots to do! At least the list is made. :)
HAPPY FRIDAY!
