1:10 PM - The Daily Work Grind
I write today waiting on a client that I've scheduled at least 3 times and she hasn't shown. I'm somewhat thankful for that as I have other things that need my attention. Things at work are still "business as usual weird". I have no trust or respect for my boss. She's lied to me and asked us to do things that could compromise our jobs. It's straining to maintain a professional relationship when dealing with someone like this.
I just keep my head down and do what I can at work. It's easiest this way. I found out that one of our 'investigatees' will be out for months now. It originally was one month... now it's several. I was told she has enough leave to carry her through at least March of next year. I'm not suprised. I look for her to just retire as she has the time in to do so. Won't stop the investigation, but I don't anticipate her coming back here with things as they are.
The other 'investigatee' is coming in trying to maintain like nothing is new, but it's visible the toll it's already taken on her. I don't know how long this will go on. The state does tend to take their time with these things. It aught to be cut and dry in reality, but that's logic and we know that if it makes sense more than likely it won't transpire here. My boss is awfully chummy w/this one. Despite the fact she's been told not to be especially now she is anyhow.
I'm still feeling optimistic about moving on from here. I'm ready. I feel that someone will see me as qualified and I'll land on my feet somewhere. Some people just 'get their jollies' by seeing what they can do to intimidate and break you. Some people are sick like that. But I do believe Karma is a powerful thing. You begat ugliness and Karma will hunt you down and beat you with ugliness.
I'm happy and calm right now despite being behind from where I've had to leave town to attend training. I welcome the fall weather and the time change. I like getting that hour back. I've got to buy candy for Halloween soon. I've decorated, but no candy yet. I'll probably get 2 big bags and be done. Maybe I'll make special treat bags for my niece and nephew.
I'm just not uber motivated to work today. Got plenty to do, just don't want to do it. We all know how that can go. Well, I guess I'd better act like I'm productive whether I want to be or not. I'll talk to you again soon. Thanks for listening!
