I work HARD ... I play hard!

Geez, I am SO bad at this whole blogging thing! I guess I figure that not everyone wants to hear about my mundane life...or I'm just too busy to sit down and write about it all. Maybe a little of both.

I can't help that I am SO busy!! My work is keeping me pretty booked. I work for a company called Automated Business Products as a field manager. I work on site with a company called RxAmerica. And, I love my job, but I just feel like I can't EVER leave!! Since I am the one that got our site at RxAmerica up and running, I am really the only one that knows my position. So, when I leave my position HAS to be covered by someone else at my office. And that means, on MY day off...I get phone call after phone call because people don't know what they are doing. So, I just stopped taking days off.

Well, my work yesterday sent me my summary of time off and I have 80 hours vacation and 40 hours of sick pay left of paid time off. But, my work won't pay out for unused time! So, by the end of the day tomorrow, I lose everything except my vacation pay, which I HAVE to use by the end of March! If I don't use it by then, I lose it. So, now I have a job that I can't leave and all this vacation time that I feel like I can't use.

And the worst part...I got passed up to go on the company trip this year to Hawaii. I am working so many overtime hours, working through sicknesses and even working on Holidays let alone not using my paid vacation! All so that I can make sure that one of our biggest customers remain happy. I feel like I totally got the shaft, and the worst part is: I am too nice of a person to talk it over with my boss. I just smile and nod my head and do what he asks, while on the inside I am getting SO burnt out! I'm SUCH a sucker...will I ever grow a backbone?

All answers point to - NEVER!

I don't mean this posting to be my therapy session, this is just something that occupies most of my brain capacity these days. But, I do PLAY HARD!! I changed my look up a little, going to a more refined dark brownish-reddish color. I thought it was time for the blonde to go bye bye for a little while.

I spend most of my time with the roomies: talking, laughing, and throwing legendary parties. Hanging out with Ty, Steph and Blaine doing all sorts of crazy stuff! And just basically surviving life and all the randomness that it likes to throw at me.

The boy life is good too...my parents are constantly hinting that they would someday like a couple grandchildren. That's not going to happen anytime soon...sorry folks! But, if you know any cute single men...throw them my digits.

I hope that everyone had a VERY Merry Christmas. Mine rocked, even though I was sad that Rachey couldn't physically make it here with us...we did get her on web cam for a little present opening action, which was great! I can't wait till June when we can all go over there and be together again!
