dyk I am losing steam quickly and my plan to have an empty dishwasher in the morning is going tby the wayside -- AGAIN

dyk and there is laundry to be done/folded -- ugh as soon as Sean tries to help me and dumps a clean load in that chair - as he did tonight -- the entire system goes haywire

dyk one of our closests friends' dogs got hit by a car last night (he must have escaped their yard when they had the fence open to take out the garbage)
dyk the 14 year old daughter found the dog in a ditch a bit later, after she noticed he was not in the house
dyk still alive, but critical
dyk Barlow and I walk with this dog pretty regularly
dyk not quite sure how to break this to John, given his recent dog issue . . .

dyk oh no....how sad

dyk I somehow anticipate that John is not going to have a great evening
dyk I also have to explain to him that while I understand that he may NEED to take a business trip that includes Valentines Day, he needs to understand why I am not happy about it.
dyk he dropped this little gem last night, while we had a dinner guest, and seemed "surprised" that I was less than thrilled.
dyk but the timing of the announcement implies to me that he knew full well that I would not be totally blase about it.

dyk Frank often drops things like that when he knows I can't show my true feelings
dyk or he forgets to mention something like that and then insists that he told me

dyk, we should hear about our bonuses/raises within a few days

dyk, the board is meetin for final approval on Tuesday

dyk, the "okay to release" email will be out no later than Wednesday morning

dyk, I'm already planning a sick day for Thursday

dyk, I predict less than 10% of the department will show up

dyk, whenever there is a mandatory class on compensation decisions it's a bad sign

dyk, (Jamie probably knows this) I can't say that I disagree, do not support, did not make, or in anyway indicate that I do not agree with the numbers

dyk, which is ironic since I have NO say in the numbers

dyk, fortunately my one remaining direct is getting paid well and better nit complain...I won't say anything, but I will show him my awesome right jab

dyk, I came clean; I admitted that I was unhappy and that I wasn't currently looking it was a very string possibility that I would be leaving

dyk, I told my boss that I did not like the way the department was going and that I know I'm not going to be happy with the changes. I told her that I would keep and open mind, but things would have to be very different than what I'm seeing

dyk, she then informed me that I was already on the list - not sure when I was added, but I'm impressed that she has been paying attention

dyk, there are also other things going on that, according to her, will change my mind if I talk to her before accepting another position

dyk, who knows what that is...we can't offer money or promotions
