To leave or to stay

I started my new job on Monday. I was so excited to change divisions since mine didn't seem to care about my promotions and this one is know to appreciate your hard work. I have only heard good things about this division and I thought since I am only acting I could easily change my mind if I didn't like it.

Well I have been so annoyed this week I wanted to strangle everyone. The guy who is suppose to train me comes in really late and talks to all the other employees instead of training me. He is so unhygienic too. I have worked with him before but I never realized how sleazy he was until now. I work in a lab and he actually took methods off the computer so that when the next person started they would have been stuck to create their own... well that actually pretty close to illegal. Those are property of the lab. Anyways I has been like pulling teeth to get him to provide me with the information that should have been here already. My new boss doesn't even seem to care about this. Supposedly he hates confrontation so he just tells him to bring back the documents but does it in this non-threatening manner. Come on, grow a back bone and tell him that the lab productivity is lacking due to him taking important documents.

AHHhhhhh!!!!! Then my boss keeps trying to quiz me on anything related to my new job - okay enough! I get the point! I need to learn a lot to win the competition for my new job... now f-off! Sorry but he is starting to get under my skin. He just seems like my first boss, who I detested. I loved my last boss. She was so nice and easy going. She took vacation and did compressed work weeks... basically her life wasn't her job ... but in a way it was because most of the people she travelled with are her colleagues.

Anyway, I have to start thinking about staying or leaving. I have anywhere from 1mth to 4mths to decide depending on my competitions. This is going to be a very hard decision.

Where does the time go?

I can't believe I haven't blogged since the end of August.

Let see what has happened since then. I had my mom's 50thbday bash at my house - total success. We didn't get our renovating done in time but I didn't care since everything was outside.

We then had my nephews 1st bday party. That pretty much consisted of a phone call from my BIL asking us to come over and help them get ready for the party which was starting at 2pm... it was 12 and we had just got out of the shower. Yikes! We did some of his errands and got to their place at 1:30pm and they were still making the cake and cupcakes. I helped decorate a bit, made cupcakes and then Mr. SB found out they had run out of propane. He says he'll run off to get some and of coarse my BIL says "I'll come with you". Mr. SB says "I think there is lots to do here and it doesn't take two of us to get propane". These people are so disorganized. This is Sunday afternoon how did you not get everything done the day before. I spent the rest of the day there doing loads and loads of dishes since the dishwasher was full and we couldn't put anything in it to help clean up.

So after the long weekend I get sick. REALLY sick! And although I am really sick I come into work anyways only to find out that I got the job. So I have two weeks until I start. So I had to tell my boss and prepare to leave. It was all very overwhelming - especially since I was REALLY sick.

That brings us to this past weekend in which I had a planned Bachelorette party at my house. God, I made some hilarious food. We and more importantly the Bride-to-be had a great time. That is all that matters. I will have to post the pics of the food but I'm not sure I know how to do that.

So here I am thinking this weekend can be a little slower with our only plans being a Baptism but then I forgot - it's my bday. So hopefully I will still have a relaxing weekend where I can recuperate and get better for the next weekend which is the Wedding I am in.

Phew, is this month over yet?!?!
