Wheeeeeeeee!

February 20th, 2004

Vertigo, all the fun of the carnival rides, but no standing in line. (No funnel cakes, tho, which sucks.)

My call count is down to THREE. Meaningless to most, but considering it had been hovering around 9 for most of the week, I’m a happy camper.

With the temps whipsawing about like they are (50s today - w00t!!), my sinuses are having their own little psycho dance party. Arghhh. Came home w/ a headache and a touch of the spins. Ate and hit the rack for a bit and had some bizarre dreams about a call I’m working right now… I think this weekend I will have to break out the heavy duty meds that can’t get used during the week…

The weekend. Ahhhhhhhhhh. Less than 24 hours away. At the present time, I am still OFF on Saturday. Coworker who is on the shift has tomorrow off, and when she left this evening, did not say anything about not being able to do it. Sure, if she bails and lets me know, I’ll be there - but HER name is on the schedule, the boss knows it, so if she doesn’t show and I don’t get word, it’s not my backside on the line.

Said coworker has also just had a review and as part of being up for a promotion in the relatively near future, she needs to demonstrate some leadership type stuff vis a vis, junior staff coming to her for assistance. She is driving me batty at the moment with that. “Do you have any calls I can help you on? Any questions!? Anything?!!” Heavens, NO. First, I am finally getting to the point where I can wrestle most calls to the ground on my own. Second, the last time I got “help” from her, it was WRONG, and then she tried to call me on it later, conveniently forgetting that she had given me the information. Third, I’ve got a very strong working relationship with another second liner and we do very nicely together.

Nothing on tap for the weekend except a trip to Crate & Barrel w/ Mom for new silverware.

I am 99% sure this is what I am going with

I’d like to get some new dishes in the near future, too…

I am seriously stuck on these

but I think I want to see these up close, too:

and these are growing on me as well:

I like that most of the platemaking folks have gone w/ the 4 piece option w/a decent mug instead of the cup/saucer thing. I don’t use saucers, except for milk for the cats! This could turn into an expensive trip if I am not careful…

Got too much on my wants list right now. The silverware is a gift, but the plates are around $200 for 4 place settings. ouch. That and I want a digital camera very badly. Neither of those things I truly need. Just WANT.
