You know, it's not very often that someone in this world, takes the time to sit down and give you a heartfelt thank you. My new roommate, who's due to start moving in any day now, did just that. On Sunday when we were all together at her S.O.'s place watching football, she sat me down, and thanked me for all that I've done for her. I didn't realize I'd done so much....
She said I'd taken so much pressure off of her, by offering my second bedroom while she needs it. She knows that she'll be able to help me out as well. She even told me what I had asked for for rent was unfair, and up'd it $50. I was shocked! She teared up as she expressed her gratitude, gave me several hugs, and explained that I came into her life when she needed someone the most, and took away all the pressure she was feeling. I offered an ear when she needed, a roof when she needed, and compassion when she needed it.
I am still speechless. Which if you know me really well, is damned hard to do. I just adore her.
While Pseudo was still getting over his cold, I made it very obvious I was enjoying his company all day Sunday. We all had a few drinks, watched some great football, and curled up on the sofa. It was nice to spend the day with some close friends, and I'll be damned, if that wasn't the most comfortable sofa I have ever had the pleasure to snuggle up in. It's not huge, but it seated the four of us very well. I might also add, that the "hot-wings" they made for me, because of my issues with bones, were FANTASTIC! Tyson makes some really yummy boneless buffalo wings or strips or something. Try them, they're awesome! Pseudo had no trouble finishing mine off for me after he'd literally inhaled the meat off the bones he had. He was also kind enough to shove the last one in my face after he'd smothered it in ranch. Such a gentleman.... *smirk* Thank god for napkins, but it was fun. I wouldn't have it any other way.
I did however, get a nice parental sounding speech about how I don't eat enough. *grunt* Seriously? A fat chick that doesn't eat and stays fat? That's so against nature. lol
Today has been fun. After my 12 hour day, I finally sucked it up, and sent a very to-the-point e-mail to my co-manager. I'd asked him to do a simple 30 minute task, which honestly, he needed to do anyway. He agreed to do it, and then didn't. So my 11 hour day turned into 12 when I figured it out. Because of my unfamiliarity with his team, it took me longer to figure out the details. Not happy. So I sent him an e-mail stating exactly what was done. I asked you to do this, you didn't, so I did. I might have accidentally copied a few important people on it. *chuckle* So gratifying. At least that job is done. I don't have to do it again until the day before my vacation, and the last one of the month, he gets to do. I've been trying to educate him on the process for three weeks. We can say a lack of interest is his biggest issue. He's going to have a helluva time figuring it out, since all the other managers will be busy doing their own, and unable to help.
OH OH OH! And more news! So I mentioned in a previous post, that I had shown Pseudo how to handle all of my reports, so that the reporting and the team wouldn't fall apart while I was gone. Remember? Yea? You sure? So to the point.... Our boss is forcing Pseudo to take a vacation! The SAME week I'm gone! HA! I love it. I'll have a mess to clean up when I get back, I assume. Honestly though, it's worth it to me. Since my telling people what I do, doesn't seem to turn on light bulbs as to my value, maybe the team grinding to a screeching halt will. It sucks, but it's gotta happen. *bow* Thank you! Thank you! *bow* *curtsy*
The surprise hug I got tonight from Pseudo, really REALLY ended my day on a high note. He can be so sweet when he wants to.
*daydream*
Man, I am such a lush.
