Soooo, it's noon and no Monday thread. Unless I'm missing it?
I gave my notice of resignation for a church position today. It feels weird, but I'm taking on other responsibilities and decided I needed to end that one because it causes me frustration and on some occasions, anger, which is not good. My friends run that particular program and they have basically checked out and just dump the responsibilities on me constantly because I am there and they can. It's getting very frustrating and annoying, and I am enabling them, so it has to end. I'll finish out this session, and they do other things in the church.

I'm off today and caught #1's cold. They have a birthday party in a little while so I guess I'd better get out of my leisure clothes and try to look presentable.
Sounds like it's time to move on to another job in the church, LL. I think you are doing the right thing. Church activities should never cause frustration and anger to this point.
IKWTDS, I'm with FWM, duck.
FNW, sorry about the cold.
Aaron and I are meeting mom for lunch and grocery shopping.

Two weeks. Two weeks until the new assistant to the president starts and I can run from this job. I am currently stamping PDFs as received. Not the print outs, the electronic files. You know, that already have a time record when you save them. But that's not good enough, I have to "stamp" each file received before saving it. He doesn't care that the extra step adds nearly an hour of work to my day collectively.

That's only 20,160 minutes. You can do it!

Grocery shopping with mom is a chore, no other way to say it.

Im off today. The babies stayed the night last night...:) DD is on her way to pick them up.
President's Day sales snagged us again this year. All new LR furniture and a new matress and boxsprings are being delivered next Monday. Furniture is completely different than what I have, so I'm redecorating the entire living room. I sure didnt mean for that to happen...

Oh boy! I can't wait to see some pictures on the "Redecorating Thread", Oh4!
How fun!
(Some new pictures of those cute grandbabies would be cool, too)

Is she worse than Wayne?
(Wayne is an impulse buyer. I'm an in and out/follow my list, kind of gal. He's worse than a toddler.)
I'm better off to send him off on his own, with a list. And see what all else he comes home with.
Sort of.
She has to look at everything, and flat out refuses to comparison shop.
Which is like nails on a chalkboard to me, I want the better deal.

That sounds like fun. All of it.

I just scanned a document 5 times until it was "good enough". 5 TIMES!
That's a Grrrrrrrrrrr!
Hang in there, DG.
Just two more weeks....
I've also decided that I'm waiting to do my expense report until I have my new boss. After his 10 minutes today on why I shouldn't be wasting my time going to the post office to pick up a letter, I'm not chancing him seeing how many times I've been sent to the store or to pick something up. That man doesn't just have a screw loose, he's lost the whole damn toolbox.
That's rough, LL. But it sounds like the right decision.
Feel better soon, FNW.
Duck, IKWTDS...before someone sees you!
I just got back from getting my hair cut.
Now I have to figure out what I want to make for dinner.
Have a good Monday, everyone!
As suspected would happen, the PM, who procrastinated for a month giving me data, provided it this morning. And wanted immediate answers. Which of course I couldn't provide until all data is run through the system. He also has a memory problem and tends to blames others when they (we) act on his statements/direction which he doesn't remember later. I could give lots more detail on how he screws up our processes and makes things so much harder, but will spare you all.

Very wise decision.

Ha! and exactly how I thought it would be played out. I re-arranged the furniture in my living room so my sofa was not against the Picture window, Sonny would lay down on the top looking out the window, destroying the cushions and keeping the sofa fur covered, well after a couple of weeks, the sofa is looking better and He has one chair I put in front of the window for him to use, Like charm.
