not to mention the last time I tried to upload this post half of it erased. so this is attempt number 2...
Rebecca got into Catholic University for law! She put in her two weeks notice. We're all sooo happy for her. They are going to be hard shoes to fill...as long as my coworker terry will get off my back everything will go smoothly...
this chick...OMG....so she hears that Becky is leaving and tries to bumrush the position. go ahead- you can have it. She's a federal employee who's been here for over 5 years. she has preference. she has the grade level. she has a bad attitude.
she scheduled a meeting with my manager, which was sneaky because i handle her calendar- as well as 2 other ppls as well...so who knows how she finagled her way on there. then she proceeds to talk to her for 2 hours telling her (phyllis,my manager) all of her accomplishments, her work experience, her expertise...and how she deserves more responsibility and more work...
phyllis asks Terry if she's telling her this because she wants to apply for the new position that opened up in the other building...she said no. she want's becky's job.
sry that one hasn't been posted
simmer down...
any way. my boss is out of town so phyllis makes an executive decision to shut terry up. "look over the SOPs and assess them. Get back to me with what you think should be changed...while your at it- give me your working hours and what you do during the day because i need to make sure your working all 8 hours because you're saying that you don't have enough to do..."
so this chick comes back and tells paula and me that she has been promoted and is now the supervisor of the front office and that we need to provide a list of our daily activities to her asap and that things are going to change. "things haven't been working the way that they've been going...and we're going to change them so they are..."
i thought things were working fine...
however, they would work better if you picked up the phone once in a while
but i never cared. we work on two different things. you stay on your side. i'll stay on mine.
well homie decided to cross the line
destroy the line
she kicked that crap to the floor and danced on its grave...
i gave her my list of activities. i have to provide my contracting company with a monthly list of accomplishments so i printed her May's list. She then proceeded to ask me about each one as if i was lying about it...and came back to follow up on them and make sure i was actually doing them throughout the day....
i went to my COTR, i snitched. i shouldn't have...but i don't have to answer to anyone, but him. I'm a contractor...we don't answer to the same ppl...
she kept going. for two days she acted a fool
she took 2 hour lunches. she woulnd't talk to anyone unless she was telling us what to do.
paula even went to the COTR and her mother owns my company...
things get worse before they got better....
i spoke to phyllis yesterday on my way to work
she stopped by after a meeting and as she was leaving
"ummm phyllis i actually wanted to talk to you..."
"oh really...?"her head tilting to the side like a amused if not slightly confused puppy (for some reason Phylis has always reminded my of a puppy. maybe its the hair...or her eagerness to please my boss...its sweet...its endearing...its kind of weird...)
"its about terry"
Phyllis busted out laughing....she said that she doesn't know what happened. Terry came and spoke to her. She told her to look over the SOPs. she said htat she told her she could handle things so phyllis gave her an assignment to see if she could handle it...
Update on the Terry situation. Phyllis talked to me on Friday and said that she reiterated what she had asked Terry to do...but supposedly thats what terry thinks she's doing. (side eye..) terry decided to take her customary 2 hour lunch and then leave at noon which i said nothing about. wow i can't wait to be federal...life would be so much easier if i literally had no rules to follow. (note to self- finish KSAs...)Now we hae to have a front office meeting to discuss everything. I'm waiting until rebecca gets here to talk about it...i'm not ready to confront terry on my own.
the weekend was good. minus the UFC party awkwardness. i'm going to have to tell the background story of that one day. probably later today when i have time.
things are good with Bear-Bear....i don't want to jinx anything so i'll leave details to the imagination and probably come back and rant later. (goodness this post was better the first time around)
its as if last summer never happened. like last year never happened. that we simply ignored August to June and picked up in August as if we had always been here...we don't talk about the differences but we know they're there. the changes in music. the newly acquired tastes in food. the clothes the attitude on both sides things have changed. little inconsequential things...but its like suddenly looking at your right hand and seeing freckles there that had never been there before.
tell me something i don't know about you...
he looked at me and shrugged and laughed as if to say that i know pretty much all there is...and i did...but not anymore.
but even than there is only so much i want to know...we have talked about the few things we wanted to know.
the one date i went on- antonio
where- ben's chili bowl
what did you talk about - you...ironically...
he was furious either way. i tol dhim he wasn't justified. that i haven't said anything about his relationship. i never said a word about that. but he's mad that i had the audacity to go on a date...
he doesn't talk about her. he knows me well enough that i'm curious but not enough to want him to tell me. he told me enough about jordana the first time around that i'd prefer to live with the mystery of this one. he had in june. he mentioned her. the good things. what he liked. the bad. the different. he told me he wished they could still be friends but that he knew i would never be ok with it.
i never said no. i simply never said yes. she ended up making the decision for him. simply by saying not to contact her again.
i have enough issues with his BFF Neesha...i don't know if i could deal with two girls who love him popping up at all occasions. that doesn't mean i'm not curious.
he says its nosey...this was after he grilled me on tony...and went though my missed calls. we're too much a like in the little ways to notice these small things. he says he want's his independence. i told him i never took it. he said he wants his privacy. i said i want to trust him.
its the usual conversation. it happens silently now...after the black-out-blow-out. I told him not to leave messages anymore...
so we're here in limbo. that he's ok with but not ok with. he wants to say friends but if i do he growls. or if someone says hi. or smiles. or walks to close. or sits to near. i told him it was his decision. its comfortable how it is right now. I think i'm most afraid that i'll get too comfortable here. that we both will.
eh...
i liked this post better the first time...oh well....we can't always have what we want.
