This week can suck it!

Welp, this week was not zesty. I wish I could have a drink, but no alcohol for me right now.

Started out on Sunday with my Uncle Barry dying. He had a heart attack. I'm really done with people dying, you all can stop now!

The rest of my crappy week is work related. We hired a person as a contractor who will be my back up and be on call for when I am out and if I need extra help with proposals. Well, I trained her for 4 days and it was painful. Her skills in InDesign were not what she said they were. On Tuesday my boss Kathy and I had a meeting with her just to see how she was feeling about the job and to also voice concern about her speed since this job is very deadline driven. On Wednesday she came in and told us that she really needs a job that will have guaranteed hours (right now we can't guarantee a set amount of hours). She stayed for the day and I worked with her on a proposal for the Northern California Sales Director. It was exhausting watching someone work so slowly on something I would have finished in a few hours. She finished it a around 4pm and we sent her home and that is the end of it. We will be bringing in a gentleman we interviewed and give him a test run... hopefully he will be more speedy. Today I get a call from the Sales Director of Northern California and she basically yells at me because the proposal was not what she wanted even though we did exactly what she asked us to do which was the convert the PowerPoint file she sent us to the proposal layout. So I spent the day working with Cynthia, our on staff writer, to give the proposal actual content. I won't be back to work until next Thursday so hopefully it's what the Sales Director wants.

I am singing at my Uncle Barry's funeral tomorrow (Friday) in San Ramon and then I have to drive to Sunnyvale to go to my pre-chemo appointment and do blood work. Since Presidents Day is this Monday, I will be doing my chemo on Tuesday.

I have no plans for Valentine's Day... since I don't have a Valentine. I will hopefully get a kitty visit in with Dombey over the weekend, probably on Sunday.

That's it for now.
