Well, the family is now safe back in San Diego. We had a great time. Lots done and lots of people visited. I am still very tired, and trying to get back into my usual routine. Last night I got home around 5:30pm promptly fell asleep on the couch, woke up at 8:30, heated up some dreaded leftovers, promptly fell asleep again at 9pm. Woke up on the couch about 5am, went to my bed, the alarm went off and apparently I hit the wrong button, as I awoke at 8am. Rushed to take a shower and get ready, luckily traffic isn't bad right now, as I made it to work in 30 minutes.
Needless to say, apparently I needed some sleep! I feel great today, actually had some real work to do at work today, so the day has flown by.
I should have blogged the last few days, but alas, I just sat around and chatted with people, as everyone is slow.
The new boy did great for Christmas, got me diamond earrings! Yes, you heard me correct, after 2 months of dating (2 months today to be exact) I got diamonds in a platinum setting! Can't wait for Valentine's Day, I can only imagine...the bad thing is, I do not have my ears pierced any longer, as I was told as a child that my body rejects metal. The new boy says that is hogwash, that platinum will work for anyone. Now he has to buy me some platinum studs, so that I can go get them pierced again (oh darn, tee-hee-hee). So yeah, I think I'll keep him around for a bit longer! :)
Don't really have anything interesting to say, so I'll leave it at that. Hope everyone had a great holiday!

Tis the Season....to drink too much
MAN. This was one rager of a weekend, and mostly by accident. Friday night was not an accident, I was on a mission and I more than succeeded. Yes, there was a cab involved to take my overly intoxicated ass home, so don't you worry your pretty little head's, I was responsible this time!
I am REALLY tired today. The new boy and I were up until almost 3am, getting "acquainted" with eachother. As you know, cuz I've been blogging about it, I've been sick, so we have only seen eachother on the weekend's the last few weeks. Last weekend I was still sick, so the lovin' was minimal. We made up for lost time last night. My whole body is sore...in a good way...and I should not be telling you all this, but oh well. Those of you who know me know that if Shawna is getting some lovin', it's a good thing for all! :)
I'm gonna leave it at that. Just watching the clock slowly tick away at this point, ready for this day to be over. I still need to do about a billion things before the family gets here, but it ain't happenin' tonight, the rest of the week will be the mad dash to get it all done, I'll stress about it tomorrow.

Vengeance in Subtle Ways
Well, had to go have dinner w/the boss and a vendor last night. It went rather well, as my boss was totally normal, as if the whole desk turned around thing didn't happen. I was uncomfortable at first, but after a martini and 2 bottles of wine and a very large alcoholic coffee drink, I didn't care anymore. It was fine, ate well and had a good time.
Today we had a retirement luncheon for a lady that has worked at my company for 26 years. Suprisingly enough, she does not hold the record, we currently have a guy here that's been here for 39 years. Yeah, crazy! Anyway, the point is this. She works under the man that I turned the desk around on. She thought the whole thing was stupid as well as the rest of the company. She decided to use her retirement speech to get him back a little, make him feel like a jackass. It was awesome, afterwards I went and gave her a big ole hug, as she told me she did it for me! She just told everyone about a story (not worth telling, as it's not all that great to you folks) about him snitching on her for screwing around and not doing her job, about 20 years ago. I think the entire company got the gist of it, except for him, which is hilarious. Bottom line, her point was taken, everyone has been talking about it since, that he has ALWAYS been a tattle tale, even 20 years ago (he's worked here for 36 years).
After the luncheon we had our monthly employee meeting. We got our Christmas bonus. 2 weeks pay...yeah, of course I'm more than thrilled and can totally use the money, but it's a bit tainted for me. Don't get me wrong, I'm cashing that bitch and spending it, but it almost feels like a bribe, like we should all just look past the facts of the recent weeks and bow down to them for giving us some extra money, DESERVED money. I work my ass off for this place, they know it, but they think that just throwing some extra money at the end of the year is enough. It isn't, but again, I'll take it and spend every last dime!

Mixed Messages
So most of you have probably read yesterday's blog about almost getting canned over a stupid joke right? Well, I have now decided that my boss is either losing his ever-loving mind, or he's in serious need of some meds. I am seriously considering putting some of my Xanax in his Diet Coke when he's not looking, might do us all some good.
So this morning I went to his office to remind him of my upcoming vacation. I am taking off December 20-22 & 26th. He told me that he was giving me these four days as "comp" time, as I used too many sick days this year, and they took the extra from my vacation days. Apparently we are only allowed to be sick 4 days out of the year, then they start stealing from our vacation (yet again, we work for the Prison System). He said for "all my hard work over the last several months, weekends, the move, etc" basically he's giving me four free days off.
Ain't that the shit? I mean last week I thought he was going to fire my ass, now he's giving me not one, but FOUR free days off??? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate it, and am happy he's doing it, but talk about mixed messages man. Crazy......that is the best way I can describe this place these days.
I will seriously be looking for something else in the new year, I worked for two crazy sister's before I came here, I actually quit that job too, couldn't handle it anymore. This place is starting to feel that way. One day you are worried about getting fired, the next they are giving you almost a week's worth of vacation for free!

Job Schmob
So I haven't blogged in quite a while. Few things going on, that I wanted answers on before I decided to share. The suspense of it all was killing me, and I didn't want anyone else to fret.
Soooooo
On Wednesday night about 6pm a co-worker and I decided it would be funny to turn another co-workers desk around. We put everything back on it, the way it was, but his desk was backwards. Harmless prank you ask? Most definitely. Well, we thought so.
So on Thursday the guy who we played the prank on didn't say a word to anyone. He was walking around, looking at people weird, obviously trying to figure out who did it. Unbeknownst to all of us, he had already run to my boss to "tattle" about it. I guess my boss did not find it funny in the least. I didn't realize this until about 1:30pm when I got back from lunch and my boss asked that I come in his office and close the door.
He said, "Shawna, I know you are friends with everyone here, and have a pulse on the going's on here, do you have any idea who turned his desk around?" I laughed and said yeah, that I had done it. Let the F-Bombs begin. Let me first say that my boss rarely uses the work fuck (very much different from me, as most of you know) so when it comes out, you are in some serious fucking shit. And I was. He told me that he would "deal with me" on Monday, as he was out of the office on Friday.
So basically I have spent the last four days freaking the fuck out, thinking I was going to lose my job over a silly prank. Luckily that did not happen. About 1:30 today he called me in, gave me a stern "talking to" and all is well again. That is until I fuck something up again I suppose.
Bottom line, we used to be able to laugh and joke around and something like that would not have been a big deal, it would have been hilarious. No fun at my company anymore. I get to be serious all the fucking time. This sucks balls. Big, hairy, stinkin' balls.
I have decided that once the holiday's are over, I will finally get Internet access at home and see what is out there, I think it might be time to move on. It's very sad to say, because for the most part, I love coming here. I love most of my co-workers (other than the retard, but I think we all know that by now) and would hate to not get to work with them anymore.
What once used to be a great place to work is turning into a cold, prison-like place, and that's just not for me. I am in a very high stress field, and if we aren't allowed to joke around every now and again, then I might be found dead on my desk from a heart attack at the young age of 31, and that just sucks.

Good Times
Well, my weekend was fantastic, don't know about the rest of you.
Friday:
Went and had dinner with the boy. It went rather well. I had a list of questions (in my head, not literally, I'm not that anal) for him, and he answered every single one, before I could even ask it! So that was great! Once he was done vomiting up all the info I needed, I really had nothing to say, it was all answered to my satisfaction. So strange, to be in a relationship where my partner actually communicates openly and honestly with me. Such a breath of fresh air, really...
He had a big day of sellin' diamonds the next day, so we parted around 11pm and I headed to Addison for Jen's b-day. This is a b-day celebration with the "rich friends" so the alcohol was pouring freely and heavily. I saw the tab (cuz I always have to know, even if I'm not paying) and it was right at $500. Yeah, we drank a lot and did a lot of shots. Needless to say, I did not go home. I stayed at their house, believe I gave up about 4:30am and went to bed. I woke up about 8:30, ready for my own house and my dog, so I headed home.
Saturday:
Wasn't hung over, but totally worn out from drinking and only 4 hours of sleep. And interrupted sleep, as I gave up at 4:30am, they certainly did not. They tend to drink until the sun comes up and then some...
Finally got my ass off the couch around 4:30pm to take a shower. I had agreed to meet my friend Shelley at The Landing for a drink, then we headed off to dinner. There's a fairly new Mexican food restaurant in "the hood" so we went there. It's true mexican food, but in a fancier way, it was quite tasty. The $10 drinks were a bit pricey, but they certainly didn't skimp on the tequila, we were both sufficiently buzzed when we walked out. Of course we just headed right back to The Landing. The boy called, so I left around 9:45 to go over to his house for some lovin' and spent the night.
Sunday:
Up around 10am, the boy had to work, so I headed out with him around 11am. Went straight to the grocery store, as I had absolutely nothing to eat. Started a stew in the crock when I got home, started laundry and got dishes done, the kitchen floor mopped, the house "picked up" (this is when it appears clean, but really isn't) and did four loads of laundry. At 5pm I had to get in the shower and get ready. The boy's condo was throwing their X-mas party. Free booze was the main point of attending this. He lives in an older high-rise (probably built in the 60's) so the party consisted of us, the geriatric ward and some silly gay men running around being all Christmassy. It was amusing at least. We headed up to his place, had the stew, watched Clerks 2 (which sucks total balls, Kevin Smith is now permanently on my shit list for even making a sequel, but he made a sequel that sucked such big balls it's not even funny). Then I was put to sleep by the boy as he scratched my back.
So that's it, in a nutshell. Things are good, life is good. Heading out at 5pm today as the clips for my new Gucci's are ready as well as the other pair of cool spec's I bought.
More tomorrow. Have a good one!

TGIFF
Yes, that is for Thank God it's Fucking Friday!
This has been one hell of a week. With combating my bronchitis, dealing with the boy and the bad weather, I am so glad that it's Friday.
I did talk with the boy last night and got some honest answers to my problems, and we are meeting tonight for dinner to discuss further. I'll make my decision then if I really want to break it off or not. My initial reaction is to run for the hills, but if every guy I ever met did that to me, I'd still be a virgin! hahaha I'm going to try and be mature and hear him out and decide if I am ready to deal with the issues/problems he has.
Then I'm off to celebrate Jen's 32nd b-day. We are going to Humperdinks again, so I get to drink out of the Penis Tower once again. I have a feeling I'll be staying at the "rich folks" house again, as they tend to overindulge. Haven't decided if the boy is invited or not, depends on how the dinner goes. I know he works tomorrow, so he may be out, which is fine with me! I don't need no stinkin' man!
Saturday I plan to sleep in (wherever that may be) then get my ass motivated to clean up my filthy house. It is so gross right now it's not even funny. For those of you who know how anal I am, please, trust me on this. The kitchen floor has muddy dog prints all over it, dishes are STACKED in the sink, even on the counters, there is dog hair all over the place, I need to do laundry, change sheets, clean both bathrooms that are filthy and yeah, just get rid of all the grime. I think some of you would actually be shocked if you walked in my house right now.
Saturday night I'm heading out on the town w/my gal Shelley. We are gonna go have a nice dinner somewhere then probably get hammer-time at The Landing as usual. Even if we try and venture out and go to a different bar, we'll end up at The Landing, it always ends up that way!
Sunday I'll probably be horizontal on the couch and watching bad Sunday afternoon TV. Probably hit the grocery store and make something yummy and warm. Maybe some chicken and dumplings or a stew or potroast...now that it's finally gotten cold, it's time for the comfort food.
I really need to start thinking about X-mas too. It's only 2 1/2 weeks until my family from San Diego gets here. I'm so excited but need to do a lot of stuff. Shit, just writing about it now is stressing me out. Shit. Shit. Shit!
Ok, off to write up a list of all the things I need for that....
Have a good weekend all!
