I've never had allergies like this. So much sneezing. I don't typically have spring allergies and I'm a little suspicious of some new perfume I got (but I really don't want that to be the case!). The Hubs has been sneezing and dripping a lot too.
An example of work drama for you...
This past Friday my boss was looking forward in the schedule and noticed that he had appointment scheduled around the first two weeks in July. Well, he's going to be overseas. His vacay hadn't been put on the communal calendar and appointments had been made. I immediately offered to reschedule everything and he put the vacation on the calendar.
That wasn't it though. He swore that he had known about the trip since December/January and put it on the calendar a long time ago. Then he started talking about the last receptionist and issues there and postulated that the old receptionist deleted the vacation on purpose.
I rescheduled most of the appointments and left messages for others to call back Monday to reschedule. Then another employee catches me and says she wants to strangle the boss because he planned a vacation at the end of a quarter and didn't bother to tell anyone. Another employee practically cackled when she perused the calendar and found out I had to reschedule people (an employee he happened to mentioned was working closely with the previous receptionist).
The bad part for me is being between. The boss straight up said he needs someone "on his side" and "faithful to me" and I'm his assistant. But I'm also seeing unhealthy tendencies and desperate to stay neutral and maintain relationships with the other faction (the rest of the office) that is "against" the boss.
So that's a taste. I'll try to paint pictures of this workplace for y'all. I have some buddies that are quite intrigued by the drama already!
Got my first pedicure in a LONG time today and felt like a slob. But I got it done despite the furry pants (thank you cats) and the semi-shaved legs and slightly hairy toes. Oh well! I like the salon and scheduled out for May near Mother's Day. I'll get another right before the cruise I think and try to keep up at least through the summer and sandal season. It was good self-care and BB did a great job waiting and entertaining himself with a comic book and LEGO axolotl.
Anyways. Not a vital update I suppose, but I wanted to type!
In other news and probably another post itself, I'm tweaking some medication to try and bring a little more versatility to my emotional plane. I've been a little flat and maybe overmedicated, but we'll see. Gotta be careful.
