DYK I am glad you are relaxed and unstressed!
DYK you need more of that...although it seems lately you have not been nearly as crazy with work as in times past?

dyk Sean's work wrote him up again -- for having a side job business

dyk they hired a lawyer, wrote a new conflict of interest policy and told Sean today that he has to take down all advertising and STOP DOING SIDE WORK (for anyone other than immediate family) or he will be terminated -- as of tomorrow

dyk 1) they wrote him up BEFORE his acknowledgement of the policy (if I understand correctly -- I'm going to find out more when Sean gets home)

dyk and 2) I think they have known all along he did side work and are using this against him NOW b/c he didn't quite when they demoted him and cut his pay

dyk and 3) what assh0les

dyk I need to finish Abi's book and get the illustrations done before we move onto the Cheetah Jungle Mystery

dyk I was going to start working on the illustration today but I am sick.

dyk then I got the call about the fire

dyk then the call about the pending firing (they are asses -- did I mention that?)

dyk then I went and picked up a friend's kid at Pre-K at 1 after I took Abi back to school from OT b/c the mom was still out at the youth home

dyk she said the damage is extensive -- the boys were home when it broke out

dyk thank GOD the fire alarms/smoke detectors DID go off

dyk, I'm not as crazy as I normally am - yet

dyk, this year I'm only doing ONE job; still doing the work of 2 people, but at least the 2 people are the same level

dyk, last year I was doing 2 different levels (1st & 2nd reviews, ALL of the admin work & special projects) so I never got a break, this year I'm just doing 2nd reviews (and some special projects & a few admin things)

dyk, this week will be crazy as soon as people start dropping funds off

dyk, plus, for once, I'm putting ME first - I shouldn't be so stressed out that I'm close to tears, if not actually crying at my desk

dyk, I finally hit the breaking point and I'm sick and tired of being here all of the time and getting little to no appreciation for what I do

dyk, not to mention that my new staff members are full of 'holier than thou' attitudes and if I'm around them to much I'll probably slap the ever living sh!t out of them
