I needed the rest. Friday night was quiet... Wal-Mart, home, hot dogs for dinner. Deal with it honey. Saturday morning, up too early, showered dressed, in a dress no less look outside and SNOW. Maybe they will cancel... quickly checking email... no such luck. So off to gather Girl's group gals, wait wait - ONE Mom and kid arrive 25 minutes post scheduled arrival time... smile, load kid, off we go.
Get to our location - listen to a Mom bitch at me all day long about every grievance that has been done to her girls. Some I agreed with - lik why are the girls forced to pay an advisor's son $125 for his DJ services, when a girl's father has offered to take the day off of work and do it for free... The dance is to raise money for the scholarship fund... The reason given for turning down dad was "He's a Dad". The real reason - head-lady in charge doesn't like THAT Dad.
Nope not kidding. But being a Son and charging $125 that is 25 girls' dance fee out of their pocket right off the bat, and there aren't 100 people there frankly I'd wonder if there were 50 people there. And let that bit of foolishness sink in too... This is why I backed away for the better part of a year... because I don't want sucked into all this drama. It makes my head hurt - and it really pissed me off. Oh and did I mention that the 'son' is the boy of one of the inner circle's. Go figure.
That continues to be the biggest PITA is that inner circle of do nothings. When there is a messy job to deal with - they find something else to do. Unless they get to sit around and look important they don't want bothered. And heaven forbid they do something for the girls.
ANYHOW... got home, waiting another 30 minutes for the same parent to show up I called, her daughter apparently doesn't listen well either. I will call next time. THEN I went to the neighbors we had Power Grid board game newbies and we played well - good game, went home and died.
Sunday... up late, breakfast out, grocery store, home, cleaned kitchen, did laundry, put away the last leftover remnants of Christmas, made homemade chili (reworked recipe) tried to boot up the computer and discovered that it is having a problem and we just paid to have the darn thing fixed... grumble grumble. Bubba sat on his backside post breakfast and watched football. Oh yes he checked my oil.
On our way out the door to breakfast he's barking "let's go!" then I rush- rush to get the dogs tended and out the door - then he decides to check the oil in his car. When I dared to ask "What are you doing?" insert pitched fit here. So I putzed on my new fab-o smart phone and didn't say anything else. We then started talking about stuff in the paper - enjoyed breakfast had a civil conversation. Did grocery shopping, discussed the chili makings - and I must eat a small serving of crow - he said to get 2 cans of beans I didn't once I got it all together... needed more beans. Well in my world it could have stayed that way but Bubba wanted - so Bubba went back to the grocery store and brought home more beans. If I must say - the chili was really pretty good!! I like it - ate too much. Tried to find the location of my interview this morning - then figured out how to use my smart phone - that I found out this morning isn't so fricking smart with the GPS...
And Monday - UP EARLY, interview, discovered job posted is SO not something I want to do for a week much less any time longer than that... it's called an Admin pumpkin not a System Integrator. Yeesh - which was a bummer, great location (not Maryland but...) and good parking without the death march to the office building. (Friday's interview)
Into work, new boss in town - she has yet to darken my door and introduce herself. I've been in 2 meetings with her already - she's said 10 words. Oh this could be so much fun... we shall see.
All right heading home, meeting tonight and a possibility of snow tomorrow. Kill me.
