Morning all! I didn't get to knot yesterday because we had to attend an all day writing workshop at work. Yipee.... Well, I heard some wonderful news at this workshop. Not sure if you all remember my horrible coworker who was making my life miserable? The spawn of Satan himself? Well, apparently, she quit! They rearranged some people on my team, and her team, and as of this week, she no longer sat in front of me. On Tuesday, (she was off on Monday), she was at her new desk. I heard her complaining (surprise, surprise) all day, but that's nothing new. I guess she had enough, so in the afternoon she told another coworker she was leaving. The coworker told her not to burn bridges and to put in 2 weeks, and she said she did not ever want to work for this company again, so she didn't care. She walked into her boss' office, told her she quit, grabbed some stuff from her desk, and walked out at around 3PM. I missed seeing all this go down. When I heard the news yesterday, it was glorious.
I am planning to speak to my manager, and offer to help out with her duties. I was her back up, along with another coworker, but the other person does not know as much as I do. I'm also going to tell her I will help them out until they hire someone, and train that person. Promotions/raises/bonuses are in March, yo.
In some not some great news, FI's job is acting up again. Some crap went down, and he was on the phone at 1AM with his manager, some of his employees, the CTO is pissed off, and now he is beyond stressed about his job again. Which is stressing me out. The California thing (he interviewed with a company there over the summer) didn't work out, and things got better at his job, so he stopped looking. I'm going to urge him to continue the hunt, because the stress level where he works is horrendous.
Lastly, I have not had alcohol or cheese in a week and I feel great! I'm on track to getting back into shape!
What is making you all happy today?
