Just a random confession on a shitastic day at work. I'm watching The Tudors on netflix and I think I've learned more history in one season than I did during HS history. I've googled several different things as the season has passed.
Proof that I forget more than I know: I listened to The Book Thief (which is beautifully written!), it's about WW2 and I found myself wondering why Hitler didn't like Jewish people and not remembering why the war started in the first place.
I need a school-refresher course. Know of any? I'm kinda dumb these days.
I work on a team of 4. Our team leader won't be back in the office until January, and I am the most senior person on our team in his absence. However, he did not leave any of us "in charge." I asked the two other fellas on the team what their plans were for being in the office next week because we need to have at least one person here. (And I was hoping to take a day or two off.) The newest dude on the team informs us that he was planning to drive home (about a 5 hour drive) this Thursday and not return until the new year, because it's "worthless" for him to drive back to work for one day.
I feel like punching this kid in the face. I'm trying to be cool about this--I spend the holidays in Austin because my family is here, so I always volunteer to staff on, like, the day before Thanksgiving. But, I am having to hold myself back from emailing our team leader and complaining about this kid. I could care less what his New Year's weekend plans are, he needs to get his ass in the office. Also, he's complaining the he had to work one day last week that he'd previously requested off to go to a bachelor party. Something came up that required his presence (as is the nature of his job) and he won't quit bitching about it. He asked for two days off, and he still got one. . .while I (thanklessly) covered for him on the other. Grrrr.
After running errands all day, I still have a ton to do, but am choosing to sit on the couch and watch the Glee Christmas special that I DVR'ed last week. I'm a totally unapologetic Kurt fan.
I've told 6 coworkers that I'm pregnant. Granted, two are two of my closest girl friends, and the other 4 are doctors that knew we were trying that I'm friends with, but still. I'm just so excited!
