The next week and a half will be blissfully co-worker free. I can't wait to get here. I am so excited to have some drama-free time around here. Of course, she is causing enough drama around here right now things will just be getting back to normal  when she gets back. I'm telling ya, things keep going from bad to worse around here and for some reason I keep getting the short end of the stick. I didn't even get to eat lunch yesterday until 2:30 and I leave at 3. How is that right?

My neice and cousin had a joint birthday party at Chu.ck E Chee.se over the weekend. It was pretty fun. I think we played just as much as the kids did. Hopefully I will actually get the pictures off my camera sometime soon.

We also bought a car. It is by no means a new car, but it's better than what we had. It atleast has a nice cold air conditioner. That is a big improvement.

We are still going to the gym, but I think I may need to change up my routine, not really sure. I've just kind of gone into a blah mode that I need to get out of.  I'm getting bored and that's never a good thing.

I've started a new diet, but I don't want to tell you any more about it until I know if it's working or not. I should know something by the end of the week. If it does work I'll be telling you all the gory details.

We finally got our vacation planned. We are going the first full week of November. Since my dad still doesn't have a job we won't be doing a lot of sight-seeing probably because mom just won't have the money to do much. We decided to go to Lake Sam Rayburn. If nothing else, there should be nice scenery.

I went to talk to my boss yesterday so he could approve my vacation days and I was asking him about how many days I am supposed to get. Since I only work part-time I wasn't sure if I got a full week or not. He told me that I actually have 2 weeks. I was really shocked and didn't know quite how to react. He told me that any time I don't take I will get paid for in January. Sounds good to me. If I had known I had that much time I would have taken some earlier this year. Oh well, the extra money will help make up for the Christmas spending.

Since I'm paying for a car now I will have to try and go easy on the Christmas shopping. I normally have my shopping about done by now, but I have really been slacking off these last couple of years. I think I'm going to gat all the kids gift certificates to Wally World so they can picout things they really want. Or is that really just the easy way out?

I'm supposed to call the Dr on the 9th if AF doesn't come by then, but If this diet works out I may hold off a week or 2 so I can lose a little more weight before I go back.

Other than that things have been pretty normal. For me anyway. I'm off to wish co-worker a fond farewell.

PrimDonna co-worker has struck again. This time she took it to the boss.

This morning she was being her usual self and not doing shit so when I had to answer the phone for the fourth time in a row I started to get a little huffy and I slammed set the phone down heavily. I also slammed set the phone down heavily the next 3 times I had to answer the phone because she apparently decided she was too important to help with this task.

When she went to get lunch the boss called me into his office to have a "talk."  He said she told him there was an "issue" with the phones this morning and he just wanted to know if there was something else going on that he needed to know about. I had a feeling that's what he wanted to talk to me about. I wanted to tell him about everything, but I didn't. I just told him that she doesn't help answer the phones like she should, that I answer it 80% of the time and I get frustrated because sometimes I get busy and it is hard to answer it. He also said that she told him I was being curt with her. He did tell me that if I have any more issues I can come talk to him about it because he just wants everyone to get along.

She was basically being a big old whiny baby telling on me for being mean. I haven't been mean or rude to her I just haven't gone out of my way to be nice. I don't feel like she deserves my kindness when I don't get any in return. I am in no way mean to her. I do my best to be civil to her at work just because of the fact that I don't want it to affect my work performance or come back on me in some way with the boss.

I just find it odd that normally she is the first one to be rude to someone or snap at them when things aren't her way, but she didn't bother to say anything to me herself. G has had heated arguments with her many times that she has started. The only difference is that usually when she starts something the boss isn't here. It feels like she was trying to get me in trouble or something. I actually thought the whole situation was so ridiculous that I laughed my way out of my boss's office. I really feel like I am in grade school again. This whole thing is just so completely childish.

What should I do about this situation? Am I supposed to go out of my way to be nice to someone I can't stand or just continue on the way I have? I feel like any minute now we are going to be put in a time out or told we have to sit out at recess.
