Will - gorgeous pics!

Alrighty, my parents are still visiting, so I should go and be social I guess :P I'll be on tomorrow after my thrilling shopping trip to IGA to buy smokes for the firefighting crew (not hot firefighters either).

Funny that you used the same term as Stacey. Who is also back after an extended absence....

Is poor Stacey still working like a dog? So no earth tremors or anything? :P

Well, Paul is bugging me to go outside for some reason. I think our neighbour is out there and I have to go be social. Damn. ;)[/quote]

Yes, yes I am - and tomorrow I get to start my day by doing a commissary order that apparently was missed, although I'm 99.9% sure I never saw that fax....ugh, at least the Duty Officer isn't making me come in tonight to do it (some would).

Oh Grumpies, how I wish I could keep up with you!

It was a quiet week.

No Sarah we had our reviews in January and the vacation and stuff started over than as well. I hate that I feel like I have no one there.

Soooooooooooooooooo I'm considering redoing my invites, some of them are smudge-y and it's really bothering me lol.

RE: Grumps: Fast Friday

anaksa — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 20:54:00 GMT

OH YEAH! I forgot we had 41 'guests' Wednesday afternoon! :w00t: That was pretty much the extent of anything exciting that went down!

We went to the tavern a few times too!:P

It's been a slow week Will,

Belts and Kim both sent in their resumes for awesome jobs

A few of our mothers are crazy

My invitations came in and were not the size I ordered :angry:

Crys got drunk

Hockey sucked

MEB has morning sickness

Tasha's studying

Sarah wants to quit her wedding

*Same old same old*

Is it bad that this is the update for me that comes to mind? lol

PS YAY WINGS!

Sucks about the invites.

I'm glad that nothing bad happened, but disappointed of the lack of pics of good stuff. Tsk tsk. :P

Here's one pic I have to share:

I didn't have time to read what I missed, but I did read last weekend's post hoping for pics and I wasn't disappointed. Happy about that.

Is it bad that we drank a bottle of wine with dinner every night on our holidays? :blush: You should have seen the meals! So awesome! AND I helped! Go me! :D

sarahandrob2010 — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 20:00:16 GMT

Nancy, I'm so sorry you're dealing with all that crap at work!!! Thank GOD your boss is on your side and supportive!

Is the fiscal year different from the calendar year? That might be why she's saying 8.5 days "this year". Still, if you have doctor's notes, then that's BS.

(((hugs))) It's too bad people don't have better things to do with their time :(

[quote][b]NCail (6/6/2008)[/b][hr]Ok this is going to be LONG: Boss told me today that our office manager was pissed about me calling in sick yesterday. She called my boss and he basically told her he didn't care, that I was doing an amazing job. She said well your previous assistant(who did jack sh!t all the 2 yrs she was assist, he hated her) has only missed 2.5 days so far this year and Nancy has missed 8.5. At 9 days I have to give her a letter and I just want to know where you stand. His response " I don't fcuking care how many days she's missed, I haven't been caught up on paperwork in over 4 years".

Then she went on to tell him that she had a complaint that I wasn't handling customers who came to the door very well. Long story, the woman who sits beside me is a hag we call her the 12th floor office manager b/c she acts like she is, was btiching b/c I didn't handle a customer the way "she always did". Basically I waited until the broker(not MY boss) was off of the phone before I told him a client was here to see him, instead of putting a note in front of him like she does. I already knew she was *****ing about it. Boss says again "I don't really care, my clients have never complained about her".

So OM was supposed to "talk" to me this morning but took the day off instead. So that's what I have to look forward to on Monday.

I'm sorry to make this so long. I was so hurt. I mean I know the women there are so vindictive and so unhappy working there that they take it out on everyone else. I was almost in tears in my bosses office, at least I have his support, but I still have to deal with it. No woman there wants anyone else to possibly do better than them. I hate it. I feel so drained.

OH: also I only missed 2 days last year. I had Dr's notes from when I was out b/c of my Pericarditis and was told they weren't necessary...[/quote]

Your boss loves you, that's all that matters. Women suck. Don't let her get to you. Sorry you have to put up with this.

RE: Grumps: Fast Friday

williewonka — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 19:39:03 GMT

Hey chickadees!! How was everyone's week??

We had a FAB time in Tobermory, lots of hiking, a ton of great food and fantastic wine! I'll post pics later.

What did I miss this week? Anything exciting? I've seen some pics of Sarah's bro's wedding, Sarah you're a babe!! I also saw some Beth wedding pics, another hot babe.

We came home a day early. We did all we wanted to do and we figured we would get Uma a day earlier so we can spend the weekend with her. I'm so excited to get her tomorrow!!!!! I hope she likes her new home.

RE: Grumps: Fast Friday

anaksa — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 19:19:06 GMT

Awwww Nancy, that sucks!!!

Like you said though, you have your boss behind you 110%, that's a BIG plus. I'd wait to see what she has to say, maybe after the weekend she'll just let it go...

Hi Stacey, Hi Miley :)

Stacey, I can't think of anything earth-shattering... well, Beth got married (but that was over a week ago) and has been posting some pics.

How's your friend who's bf died in the helicopter crash doing?

Miley, I'm so sorry to hear about your aunt's friend. How heartbreaking :( It was really good of you to take her to the wake. I'm sure she appreciated it :)

RE: Grumps: Fast Friday

Miley — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 17:24:18 GMT

Hey Grumps ... I'm home with a headache & a sad heart. I took my Great Aunt to the wake today. It was an open casket (which I was surprised about due to the way she died but her face/head/chest was not too badly damaged. It was so sad to see the family and see them suffer with such a tragic and sudden loss.

So what did I miss today?
